The end of the Democratic primary season has brought a pause to the strange spectacle that has been the Democratic nomination process. After this pause, which drew media attention away from the President, we see a strange shift back to GW and find ourselves uncomfortably reacquainting ourselves with this latest iteration or incarnation of the President.

As long as there was another sideshow, we could forget the woeful tale of our Commander-in-Chief. There he is again, coming back into the spotlight, just as clueless, just as annoying, just as stubborn as he was when we last paid him any mind. He hopped on a plane to go to Europe for a farewell tour. You get the impression that he expected some kind of triumphant welcome and got a raspberry and a heckler instead. This time, he apologized for being beligerent and warlike in his attitude going up to the Iraq War. There was not much reaction to this, which has the feeling of apologizing for being an ass the night before when you got too drunk and acted like a fool. You can say you're sorry, but everyone has indelible visions of the stupid things that you did and can't quite believe that your apology means that you aren't capable of doing something similar in the future.

In the midst of this distraction, Representative Dennis Kucinich submitted Article of Impeachment for the President. I did not immediately realize that this is not the first time he's proposed to do this. I also thought that this was a serious charge, but as it turns out, most people are just content to wait until the President leaves and let him be. I read the Articles, and I have to say, I would be extremely pleased if he was ever made to be accountable for all his crimes and all the damage he's done to the country.

Some say history will vindicate him. I just can't imagine that. I know there are still people out there that support him and think he's doing a great job, but there are also people that believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, so I don't think that's a valid alternate take on the situation.
