Interestingly (to me, anyway), he doesn’t deal with the biggest sampling issue, which is the way they worded their questions. I’d encourage everyone to read the actual poll questions to determine if they were slanted to obtaining particular responses. It was no surprise to me to discover (via Unclaimed Territory) that others with more background on Mr. Morin than I have, like Jane Hamsher, report that he has a history of slanting polls .

None of this can be interpreted as a vow to never impeach Bush. She’s just saying that right now, it is not her intention to impeach Bush, and is not expecting to impeach Bush. But, as the last quote above clearly indicates, impeachment is NOT something she’s ruled out, either.

Shorter: 2006 “No impeachment” = 2001 “No war plans on my desk”.

And Moscow’s rights make me wonder about
OUR Georgia’s always on my my my my my my my my my mind

Oh, show me round your $now jobbed
mountin’ way down south
Take me to you Daddy’s $marm
Let me hear your “Bush-I-Like”-uhs ringing out
Come and keep your “Rapture” warm
I’m back in the USSA
Hey, You can’t say how $ucky they are, boy
Back in the USSA
Oh, let ‘em $ell you WarFair Honey…
