One nuclear option off the table

Well, that's just peachy:

Democrats Won't Try To Impeach President
By Charles Babington
Seeking to choke off a Republican rallying cry, the House's top Democrat has told colleagues that the party will not seek to impeach President Bush even if it gains control of the House in November's elections, her office said last night.

Yes, because it is important to choke off the Republicans rallying cries, as opposed to creating any for Democrats, or holding the Preznit accountable...

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday "that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it," spokesman Brendan Daly said.

Let me get this straight. Last I checked, nuking Iran isn't "off the table," for the Prezit, so is it gonna kill her to at least leave impeachment "on the table?"

Some Democratic activists criticized Pelosi, saying she made the party appear extreme while drawing attention away from more useful issues such as gasoline prices and Republican lobbying scandals.

Which activists?
Oh yes, the mythical "Democratic activists." Must be the same ones that told Russ Feingold to jump in the lake with his censure resolution.
But for some reason, nobody wants to provide names. Funny.

Daly said Pelosi never considered impeachment a priority. Republicans "are in such desperate shape," he said, "we don't want to give them anything to grab on to." He said Conyers agrees with Pelosi's thinking.

Oh he does, does he? Did Chuck bother to get a quote from Conyers?
