Cue Carly Simon

Oh mother, say a prayer for me
Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me.....


Jesse Jackson has a hit piece in the Chicago Sun-Times titled, "Rove strategy isn't unimpeachable".

There they go again. The Republican National Committee, the right-wing noise machine and their spear carriers in the mainstream media, have been in attack mode over the last few weeks. This time their target is Rep. John Conyers, the distinguished senior Democrat who will become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee if Democrats win the House back this fall.

The RNC is desperate to demonize Democrats. So they cooked up a campaign claiming that if Democrats win the House, Conyers is geared up to impeach the president. The mainstream media fell for the bait. The ever-cooperative Tim Russert grilled Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi, suggesting that Conyers should take down the Web site explaining his resolution providing for a bipartisan committee to investigate the administration and to recommend whether or not impeachment hearings should begin. But Democrats were spooked. Their excitable inside-the-Beltway strategists began worrying that the Democratic left would blow the election by alienating voters in swing districts. Pelosi then had her spokesperson announce that ''impeachment wasn't in the cards'' if Democrats took back the House.

THE DISTINGUISHED JOHN CONYERS?! The same John Conyers who is under investigation for repeated violations of House ethics rules? Charges brought by two former aides.

Investigate the administration and recommend whether or not impeachment hearings should begin? It recommends that "Bush administration abuses be investigated and report to the Committee on the Judiciary on possible impeachable offenses". It also states that a "resolution should be passed censuring the President and Vice President for abuses of power."

That's not an impartial investigation, that's a road map for a witch hunt!! The RNC doesn't have to demonize Dummycrats, they do a damn fine job themselves!

I hope the Dummycrats continue to take advise from Reverend Jackson. The man who fathered a child with his mistress, paid her hush money and continues to extort major corporations. He's got a wealth of experience!
