The beltway pundits are agog. They see the election as an earthquake that devastated the political landscape.
As politics go, they may be right.But in the real world, nothing significant is going to change. All the monstrous sins of the Bush administration -- the near destruction of the Bill of Rights, the Iraq war with its hundreds of thousands of dead, our embrace of torture, massive corruption... well, make your own list -- were aided and abetted by the Democrats.
Which is why the Democrats are treating impeachment like a tool of the devil. Any attempt to impeach Bush would display their own moral turpitude.
They'll offer a few timid "liberal' programs and loudly boast how much better everyone is going to be under the Democrats.
In reality, it will be like the "peace dividend" we were going to get at the end of the Cold War. Remember?
I spent my dividend on a cup of coffee.
