Video highlights from the non-impeachment impeachment hearing

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) is presiding over what some are calling a circus, others calling the most important hearing in the eight long years of Nixonian hell commonly referred to as the Bush Administration.

Some key video moments follow.

Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) lets loose...


Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) gets righteous...


Author/attorney Vincent Bugliosi on fire...


Conservative apologist professor Jeremy Rabkin...

Note: Hearing Rabkin speak was like watching a spasming mental patient high on paint fumes getting a blow job from Lindsey Graham. Despite his characterization of the hearing as "demented," check Rabkin's past love for the "I-word"...

Students cheered and applauded government Professor Jeremy Rabkin when he chastised Clinton for "lying and digging up dirt on opponents." Rabkin, who is adviser to the Cornell Review, a politically conservative student tabloid, commented: "Nixon was impeached for lying. It cuts both ways. If we didn't impeach, we'd be giving a message that that is okay."

Congressional candidate and anti-war icon Cindy Sheehan gets booted...

Just Say Yes to Just Say No

Bernalillo County (New Mexico) sheriff Darren White, a Republican running for Congress in New Mexico's 1st District, definitely needs to be elected. This is why.


Not since Bubba blew his horn on Arsenio Hall's old show has a political white boy rocked this hard, though this vid probably dates from about the same year. Bonus points to White for the mullet, too, and the kickass backup band in cop gear featuring NM Gov. Bill Richardson on guitar, Dr. Drew Pinsky on bass, Edward James Olmos on drums, and Bryan Adams on the Yamaha Cheesemaster.

Additional, 2007 Dec 01: Alisa, with all due respect, these kind of brutal putdowns are why eggheads don't get elected: "Darren White, on the other hand, is a cop who went to a mini-mall college for a couple of years; I would not be surprised if he heard about his school on TV, late at night. He would probably think John Locke was a guy who helped you out when you forgot your keys."

My advice to you is either don't run for office—look at what campaigning did to a fellow intellectual, Mario Vargas Llosa—or go make a bad video yourself and run again in a decade.
