impeach fuzz

[rone]

Man, was Clinton really impeached? It seems so long ago, so unreal; the memory of it feels like a bad TV movie, or perhaps more like a West Wing episode with John Belushi instead of Martin Sheen. Maybe it's just me, but his impeachment seems to be the most meaningless high-profile political event in my lifetime.

I don't think it was ever supposed to be meaningful.

I think fairly early on both sides realized they were playing for a tiny group of voters who would be swayed from undecided to decided by one side's behavior or the other's. After that it sort of had the feel of a chess match where both sides realize the game is drawn but play it out anyway, hoping the other side will make a mistake.
