I know the press loves to keep repeating this story but I don’t think there is a chance in hell that Democrats are going to commit suicide by trying to impeach President Bush.

While most Democratic activist eyes will be on the first ever YouTube debate in South Carolina on Monday, an equally novel and potentially more consequential clash will be taking place that day in Washington, when peace queen Cindy Sheehan comes to town to declare war on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Two weeks ago, Sheehan threatened to launch a primary campaign against Pelosi in her San Francisco district unless Pelosi agreed to begin the process of impeachment against President Bush by July 23—the day Sheehan wraps up her latest anti-war protest tour with a publicity raid on the Capitol.

The speaker’s spokesman confirmed a few days ago that impeachment remains “off the table.” So on Monday, we can expect the gloves to come off between the left’s two leading ladies.
