All this week I have been replaying Alec Baldwin's scene in Glengarry Glen Ross in my mind and thinking that our congressional leadership could really do with some tough love:<br /> "As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado.

The President has willfully ignored the law and the Constitution, and is - by his own admission - guilty of crimes which, if our laws were honestly applied, land him in jail for 5, 10, 15 thousand years. If that's not high crimes, I don't know what is. Censure is 268 people saying they don't like you. It is not a punishment. Anything less than impeachment in this issue is saying the President does not need to abide by law and Constitution. Anything less than impeachment is a coronation.

Let's face it, the Democrats have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Since we have been losing since 1994 it should be clear to them that the strategy of not hurting anyone's feelings isn't working. Bush is an incompetent ideologue but he got votes for standing for what he believes even when it is not in the best interest of the American people. The Democrats also need to find a Karl Rove type who can craft a message. Howard Dean’s popularity should have been a wake up call for the Democrats.
