Is Joe Klein hinting impeachment? I really hope so.

Editor & Publisher gives an advance notice of what Joe Klein is expected to publish in tomorrow's "Time" magazine.
Klein claims, in referring to the president, that he has “tried to be respectful of the man and the office” but now he recognizes that the “defining sins” of his administration “are congenital: they’re part of his personality. They’re not likely to change. And it is increasingly difficult to imagine yet another two years of slow bleed with a leader so clearly unfit to lead.”

Earlier in the column, Klein hits Bush's "adolescent petulance" and "indifference to reality in Iraq" and charges that his "hyper-partisanship" amounts to "a travesty of governance." He declares that the three major Bush problems of the year “precisely illuminate the three qualities that make this Administration one of the worst in American history: arrogance (the surge), incompetence (Walter Reed) and cynicism (the U.S. Attorneys)."
This is an amazingly accurate representation of the Bush administration, one I never expected a major American publication to publish. That it appears in the traditionally conservative and sometimes reactionary "Time" magazine is surprising all by itself.

We can just hope that it is the beginning of a real tsunami describing the utter failure of this, the most incompetent person ever to occupy the office of the American Presidency.
