Abu Again .... Still

There's much being said about Abu Gonzales and his lying to Congress. There's calls for special prosecutors, perjury inquiries, even impeachment.

I'm frustrated.

One of the important tools of Congress, public opinion, has been taken away from them yet they don't seem to understand it's loss. "Calling" for anything is meaningless to the Bush Mafia Family as are the opinion polls. They get fat eating accusations. They could care less what people think, particularly Congresspersons of any stripe with whom they have zero respect.

So why am I frustrated? Because, while the mood shift and the calls for action are all fine, nothing will change until Congress or the courts actually do something tangible to hold these idiots accountable. And frankly, I still don't see anything beyond posturing going on. As I said, we're certainly better off than when Republicans had Congress. The change has essentially helped to slow the Constitutional bleeding. But until some action is taken, i.e. an accountability action such as impeachment, contempt charges (enforced) or prosecution for perjury, we're just plain stuck.

And stuck = victory for the Bush crime family.
