There has been much discussion both here and on the rest of the interwebs about the quality of journalism by one of the recently deceased and that subject has been flogged to death over the last few days, so rather than continuing to discuss whether the equine in question is in fact deceased, I thought it might be nice to take a look at what quality journalism looks like from one of the still living who's been keeping America informed for over four decades-Bill Moyers.

If this has been talked about, please let me know and I'll delete the diary.

Anyhow, I was just listening to the Thom Hartman program on Air America and he was discussing the Michelle Obama quote which has conservatives in an uproar and was trying to put her words into context. She supposedly said "For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."

But it appears the context was already there until it was edited out.

We are all used to Senator Specter talking a good game when it comes to holding the Bush administration accountable and then folding like a house of cards as soon as it comes time to actually do something about.

Well this time he seems serious. Follow me below the fold for more.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this in my email this morning:

Maine Congressman Mike Michaud calls for impeachment hearings!!

On December 21, Maine Congressman Michael Michaud sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers requesting that the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee begin impeachment hearings of Vice President Cheney.

This is a very big development and one of the reasons 15,000 of us signed the MaineImpeach petition.

The Republicans today decided that the most important order of business was to censure Rep. Pete Stark for telling the truth in his statements regarding Bush's treatment of our troops. The Democratic leadership, rather than telling the republicans to crawl back into their holes, decided it would be worthwhile to bring this piece of crap to the floor for a vote. Josh Marshall has some details and a video link here: http://tpmelectioncentral.com/...

As I am currently at a loss for words to describe my utter discouragement and sadness over the latest capitulation by the Democrats, I thought it might be nice to focus on a heartwarming story that is taking place in my hometown of South Portland, Maine.

Follow me below the fold for the story of a young activist who is taking on city hall and might just win the fight yet.

Earlier tonight this link came to my attention: http://www.democrats.com/

Scroll down the page a bit to find the post entitled 'Yearlykos bans impeachment'.

If this information is inaccurate, I will delete this diary immediately. So far I've posted a couple comments on this subject with no refutation, but I'm kind of hoping for one.

Last week Harriet Miers defied a Congressional subpoena under orders from the White House and refused to even show up for questioning. If you missed the story, you can get the basics here: http://news.yahoo.com/...

There was a lot of grumbling by Democrats and they threatened her with contempt if she did not change her tune, but one week later she is still walking around a free woman.

In the past couple days, those who are currently disappointed by the latest escapades of our elected representatives have been called a lot of things: idiots, children who just don't understand, and reality deficient just to name a few. But there is one point the 'reality-based' don't seem to understand:

We are not pissed off because the Democrats failed to end the war in four months, we are irate because they don't seem to be even trying.

Please excuse the brevity of this diary, as I am at work and do not have time to do the subject proper justice. Perhaps others can flesh out the history a bit.

We have been having a vigorous and healthy debate lately about the merits of impeaching the current resident of the White House, George W Bush. There are those who favor beginning investigations immediately when the new Congress begins with an eye towards impeachment, others who feel impeachment should be placed on the back burner while using our new found majority to pass important legislation, and still others who feel impeachment should not be brought up at all for fear of a backlash from the public and a loss of seats in Congress. I place myself in the first group, and I'll give you my .02 worth after the flip.

Last night was the first broadcast of a live football game on the NFL channel. A lot of cable companies don't carry the channel yet, but it is on the two satellite companies. This channel is owned and operated by the NFL itself.

As a football fan I'm often forced to sit through a bunch of pre-game patriotic jingoism and vapid lip-synced halftime shows in order to watch the games. We've all seen the fighter plane fly-bys and boring flavor-of-the-week halftimes shows by no talent hacks. But last night seemed a little different...
