" David Kurtz over at Josh&amp;#039;s joint has an interesting piece on who&amp;#039;s making a buck off the lunatic notion that the president should be impeached for the high crimes of being black and getting re-elected, and the misdemeanor of beating the Republicans with their own ideas on health care. Turns out it&amp;#039;s Joseph Farah, the porn&amp;#039;stached panjandrum behind World Net Daily. Farah said he was a bit surprised that impeachment was becoming such a hot topic, in part because even he admits that impeaching Obama is a long shot.&amp;quot;Look, if you take this from a pragmatic political perspective, it&amp;#039;s highly unlikely,&amp;quot; Farah said. &amp;quot;Knowing the characteristics of the leadership of the House. Not the membership. Not the Republican members. But the leadership of the House - very, very cautious about taking on Obama in any way. And the fact that you have a Democratic Senate.&amp;quot; Kurtz&amp;#039;s piece dropped neatly into place beside Steve M&amp;#039;s post about another boxcar on the impeachment crazy train, this one sponsored by a &amp;quot;Christian&amp;quot; magazine. The most interesting revelation here is who&amp;#039;s doing the punditizing there at Charisma Magazine. The &amp;quot;chief political analyst&amp;quot; of Capitol Hill Daily is Floyd Brown, the co-founder of Citizens United, who&amp;#039;s best known for his Willie Horton ads against Mike Dukakis in 1988, and for years of anti-Clinton work in the 1990s.  As I may have mentioned, as research for a piece that&amp;#039;s going to run in Esquire this fall as part of our 80th anniversary package, I immersed myself in what happened during the pivotal year of 1998. One thing that happened is that the endless pursuit of Bill Clinton, and his penis, established within the Republican party a permanent and profitable industry of crazy. (Back then, Floyd Brown, David Bossie and Citizens United were merely unusually successful ratfkers. Now, thanks to the blessing bestowed upon them by John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy, they are champions of free speech.) Most of what&amp;#039;s going on now began back then, and it will attack for its own profit any Democrat who gets elected president for the foreseeable future. Since there really is no national hierarchy to the Republican party now, there&amp;#039;s no power base from which the party could tell these folks to chill, even if the party leadership wanted to do so, which I doubt. They can control it, partially and occasionally, but the industry of crazy is an independent force in their political economy. And its sales techniques are second to none.
