Too Late to Impeach Bush
There are only 224 days left in the Bush Administration. Time enough for him to do some damage but not enough to go through with an impeachment.
If the impeachment process were begun, then Bush would use it as an excuse for not getting anything done, rather than it being very plain that he is incapable of getting things done while he is unencumbered by any distractions. Right now he is vulnerable, there are no excuses for non-accomplishment.
“Do something about Iraq?”, “Try to get gas prices down?”, “Help homeowners facing foreclosure?” – Bush would say “I can’t do anything because my political enemies are attacking me.” He would become a sympathetic person in the eyes of the public. That is the lesson of the Clinton impeachment which the Republicans never did understand.
Far better would be to open investigations into all the wrongdoing. Have hearings about the criminal mismanagement of the Iraq War, plus the war profiteering. Reopen the ‘CIA outing’ case, now that Scott McClellan has told the truth. Where is Federal Prosecutor Fitzpatrick?
Once all of these cases are opened, notify everyone in the Administration that they cannot destroy files or any other records, since that will be evidence. Promise them prosecution if they go ahead and destroy the evidence, and follow through as of January 20, 2009.

If Bush can't get anything done, that's an added bonus to impeachment!
