Censure Bush?

Russ Feingold was on ABC's This Morning today to talk about his motion to censure Bush that he'll be introducing on the floor of the Senate tomorrow. While i'd love to see Bush impeached (and thrown under the jail) I think its ultimately a doomed effort that could probably be fairly described as political grandstanding.

Don't get me wrong--I think there's a more than legitimate case for censure. Bush has crossed the line of what is legal so many times as to make Nixon look positively law-abiding. But in this climate, during an election year, I think its going to have the opposite effect of what I'd like to see (i.e., further fragmenting of the republican party). yeah, I'm partisan. I don't like the Republican party. (That doesn't make me wrong, though.)

Feingold made a point of saying he hasn't thought about his run for the Presidency, which I thought was kind of disingenous. There are a lot of things you could have introduced a censure motion for before now. There's a reason this is being done during an election year. I'll be interested to see what the response in the Senate is. Maybe the world will surprise me and there will be overwhelming support for the measure.
