Dem voters Feingold

While only two Democrats in the Senate have have actually grown a pair and embraced Sen. Russ Feingold's call for censuring Bush, the idea is increasing his standing among many Democratic voters.

A Newsweek poll taken March 16-17 found that, among Democrats, 60 percent favored the effort.

"These Democratic pundits are all scared of the Republican base getting energized, but they're willing to pay the price of not energizing the Democratic base," Feingold said. "It's an overly defensive and meek approach to politics."

RNC headcheese Ken Mehlman criticized Feingold, reinforcing an RNC radio ad in which a narrator says, "Call Russ Feingold and ask him why he's more interested in censuring the president than protecting our freedom."

Call Ken Mehlman and ask him how it feels to be spurious, oleaginous jerkoff.

Feingold's response, essentially, is bring it on.

"I welcome their attempt to make a campaign issue of the question of whether there will be accountability for the president's breaking the law," he said. "They will remind people every minute that the president thumbed his nose at the law."

Fun fact: Not only has he thumbed his nose, he's also picked it in public.
