Impeach Bush?(on the right)(George W. Bush)
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 26
IT'S not as it was with Nixon. The thought of Nixon is impossible now except under the shadow of Watergate--which would have meant impeachment and probable conviction. But it isn't widely remembered that there was a movement to impeach Nixon before Watergate--over the bombing in Cambodia. I remember a moment, in the course of a debate with Arthur Schlesinger Jr. before a huge crowd of students, when I ridiculed the idea of impeaching President Nixon.
"I never came out for impeaching him," Schlesinger said.
"Ah," said I, "but you are a vice president or whatever of Americans for Democratic Action and they have come out for impeachment."
"I wasn't present at that meeting," Schlesinger said tensely.

An amusing and instructive aftermath came in the limo in which we were both driven off to a reception. Schlesinger sat in the back seat next to his mother, the widow of the hugely respected historian Arthur Schlesinger Sr. "Arthur," she said sternly, "you should not have come out for impeaching the president."
