PositionImpeachment questions - Brief Article

Frequently asked questions about impeachment:

Q: Can Clinton prevail?

A: If anyone can, it's him. He gets involved in an inappropriate relationship with a girl twenty-seven years his junior, gets caught lying to a grand jury, and what happens? Two Republican Speakers resign.

Q: Could the President help himself by apologizing?

A: Doubt it. He's already apologized to everybody for everything including El Nino, the substandard maple syrup crop, and that whole Billy Ray Cyrus thing.

Q: Any chance he'll resign?

A: About the same chance we'll see the moon fall out of the sky and lab rats grow wings.

Q: Does the President have an enemies list?

A: If so, his name is at the top.

Q: Is Matt Drudge the journalist of the future?

A: No, Larry Flynt is.

Q: The heck is going on here?

A: Good question.

Q: What does a split-screen Presidency mean?

A: People in Washington could watch Clinton end the bombing in Iraq and the Redskins game at the same time.

A: Well, the credibility dipstick is pretty dry, but he could try to explain that when he wagged his finger and told the American public in a scolding voice, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," he was actually pointing at Helen Thomas.
