WASHINGTON -- If campaign talk means anything, there would be at least one sure vote on the House Judiciary Committee to impeach President Bush if the matter came up.

It would come from freshman Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the Minneapolis lawyer and former state legislator who was named to the House panel that has jurisdiction over impeachment. At an October rally, Ellison said Bush has been "running amok."

"There is one way that you can truly hold this president accountable, and it's impeachment." But Ellison seems in no hurry to push the matter.

"My opinions really have not changed over time, but the circumstances that I'm in have," he said. He said he was "a step before impeachment" and that his emphasis as he learned the ropes in Congress was on a broader range of human and civil-rights issues.

You have made it clear that you will never "be inspired" by Pelosi, no matter how many of your "criticisms" are corrected by fact checking. You should just own that.

What is it about her that rubs you the wrong way?
