[Past Peak] Richard Nixon was impeached for a cover-up of a two-bit break-in. William Cohen, a young Maine Republican, played an important role for the prosecution in those proceedings. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about sex with an intern.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[Aaron Articles 2005 ON - DATABASE] CNN discusses Impeachment- Is lying about the reason for a war an impeachable offense?: Nixon claimed that his misuses of the federal agencies for his political purposes were in the interest of national security. The same kind of thinking might lead a President to manipulate and misuse national security agencies or their intelligence to create a phony reason to lead the nation into a politically desirable war.
[Perrspectives.com] PERRspectives Blog: Gagging on Deep Throat: Mr Felt is a hero because he did the one thing he could do to expose The President's felonious shenanigans to the public: He clandestinely contacted the media which was still interested in news in those halcyon days of yore. Had he "gone public" with his identity by going to the Special Prosecutor he would have blown his cover and his career and definitely would not have been able to continue exposing the perfidious behavior that Nixon and his cronies were perpetrating behind the closed doors of the White House.
[Blog01.kintera.com] Bob's Blog: HENRY HYDE: NIXON DID IT!: At least this gaggle of gansters is out of the closet now so we can see what they're doing. They have to be the most arrogant bunch I've seen in my lifetime...save the Nixonion Draconions. Goddess help us find the strength to fight their corruption.
[Soundpolitics.com] Sound Politics: Nixon Impeached, Resignation Expected: Rather than devoting time and energy to discovering the source of the discrepancy and either correcting it or fully reporting the effect of the problem on the results, an activity that would have done a lot to redeem these election officials in the eyes of the public, Handy Nixon assembled a huge committee of election officials statewide to publicly support King County in their accounting flaws, to agree to mouth the same identical message to the press and the public, and to create the disingenuous and manipulative "talking points" that included among other things, the patently false claim that voter crediting had "nothing" to do with absentee ballot reconciliation in King County.
[Bluelemur.com] my weblog: is William ONeill who became one of Richard Nixons favorite Vietnam participants. He was sponsored by Charles Colson, another of the various Nixon thugs who ended up in stir and found RELIGION.
[Lkmp.blogspot.com] Kudlow's Money Politic$: Mr. David Cay Johnston and anyone else interested in this topic should have a look at todays Wall Street Journal commentary by Gotz Aly, a professor of Holocaust research at the Fritz Bayer Institute of the University of Frankfurt. He talks about the “rotten achievement” of the German economy, where policymakers obsess over the “equalization of living standards.” Germans have an “equality sickness” that makes them dependent on the welfare state, even tracing this economic sclerosis back to the days of Adolph Hitler and his ideology of the “national community.”
