Do you mean President-elect John Smith, or Fred Macdougal, editor of the local paper?

Well, yes, insofar as "impeach also has the meaning of doubting the credibility of a witness, or to make an accusation against anyone.
But in the legal sense, which is what I guess you are after, "impeach" specifically means "To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal"

Isn't there a Georgian ritual where, at the first frost of autumn, college freshman in their birthday suits sprint through the orchards while bystanders chuck fruit at them? I think, at such a ritual, the one responsible for pelting a timid freshman and holler with pride "I got 'impeached!"

Brandon asks: Isn't there a Georgian ritual ...
Hey, how'd *you know about that? Well, now that you've gone and spilled the grits, let me just add that this particular harvest festival at UGA is cheered on by screams of "Go Dawgs!" It's a Southern-fried variation on those Oxford Dons and the boys dancing naked in the moonlight on cross-quarterWhitAutumnSamhain. But don't tell anybody *that part.

And I haste to add that humor is a levening agent -- raising the level -- transforming-- making lighter.
We would all do better is daily dose of humor was in the our vitamin pills. (Couldn't hurt!)
So keep 'em comin' Inselpeter! I'm arootin' fer ya'.

I thought the subject was *perfectly clear, especially since Georgia "peachieness" came into view, but especially when accused of "holding his own" wanker. I do believe he's o'the right track, as recent discussions of the derailment that has already occurred turned into definitions of ImPeachment.

At this point, if Jackie disappears, we'll find her in federal prison... even if "W" is quite a bit dusty these days.

Jackie's safe. It was inselpeter who suggested it, so Secret Service will be interrogating him. Or maybe Harmonica Levinsky, virtuoso on the mouth organ.

<<I was *attempting...>> And successfully, I might add, and appreciated ( back at you). *** If the topic's still live: Jackie got it (bless you, love you, madly) And W isn't the president; and the The New York Times is waging a legitimation campaign on his behalf and it pisses me off. And inspite of all that, it's a lovely day in New York City. :)

"And W isn't the president; and the The New York Times is waging a legitimation campaign on his

A couple comments. W isn't the president, he's the President. And Bush I has never denied paternity of Bush II, so he doesn't need "legitimation".(or legitimization).He may even have a legitimate birth certificate.

'Tis returned, sweet Insel! [blowing kiss (note small w!)]
The NY Times (boo, hiss, for trying to make me give them my name! Grr.) is waging a legitimation campaign? WHY?
How much more legitimate can you get in the U.S. than the Supreme Court?? (Oh man, oh man, don't anybody respond to this--I can't believe I actually discussed politics!)

bloWBeautiful, IP!...you even sneak in the added entendre of his "recreational" cocaine use (just 30 years or so of drug "play", you know...at least he didn't inhale like Clinton did! No, instead, to quote Cheech and Chong, "everything goes up his nose!")

Dear WO'N: It is news to me that Bush II used cocaine for thirty years. Please cite your authority for the statement. I am genuinely surprised the Democrats never mentioned it .......if it is true.

it's news to me that Bush II used cocaine for 30 yearsAll right, so I got a little carried away...it was probably only for 20 years! It was common knowledge that he was a spoiled brat cokie who bluffed his way through college on a "C" average that should've been a flunk-out because all the Professors were afraid to flunk George Bush's kid if they valued their "tenured" positions...so maybe we can thank these wusses for what we've got. But, yeah, Dr, Bill...early in the campaign it was publicly alleged that he was a steady cocaine user until he "stopped" drinking 10-15 years ago. He just ducked the issue by refusing to answer the questions! And did you also know that his "camp" bought up all the Bush-bashing websites just before the primaries (i.e.: Bushsucks.com, Bushblows.com, etc) and linked them directly to his formal Presidential campaign site!...they were in their "rights" to do this...but what a cynical way to suppress free speech! These are the people we have in power  ...guess this gets me a free ticket onto the CIA's 'watch' list, if I'm not there already due to other published writings...oh, well....!
