A lot of the buzz surrounds the presidential debate held last week, as well as spurts and starts from John Murtha’s announcement that impeachment is on the table, and now Reps. William Lacy Clay, D-St. Louis and Janice Schakowsky, D-Ill. who have joined Rep. Dennis Kucinich (video) in co-sponsoring the bill to impeach Cheney (HR-333).

I thought it was an embarassing moment when the angry guy I've never heard of started shaking his fist at the other candidates. I thought his manner of speaking was incoherent and scatterbrained. One quality I think a leader needs is to be level headed, which all of the other candidates demonstrated. Other than that, I heard a lot of meaningless, circular rhetoric. I heard the word "corruption" about 100,000 times. I'm very tired of these manufactured scandals. I thought John Edwards was most coherent. I don't agree with much of his beliefs, but he seems like he has personal appeal, even if he comes off as TOO disciplined, sometimes. I watched Meet the Depressed with Joe Biden over the weekend. Now that was painful to watch. It's funny to see how all these politicians maneuver around their vote for the Iraq war, Obama and Kucinich really like to point that out. Yeah I watched it, Tivo’d it.
