My obligatory comment every time someone posts or pastes a capitolhillblue link: They're a rumor mill. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're passing one random inventions, and sometimes nobody can tell which it is. They're like the lefty version of Drudge. I just avoid reading their stuff, and let other people sort out the reality from the rumors.

I saw a comment from someone on Strata's LJ that there was also a retraction on that site, but I was unable to locate the retraction.

Didn't find a retraction. Did find what seems to be simultaneously an amplification and a step back ("He really said it" + "but it's a common sentiment for presidents, this is just a note about his temper").

"Presidents, by their nature, look for ways to skirt the law when that law gets in the way of their agendas. If we impeached every President who disregarded the Constitution when it didn’t suit his purposes we probably would have tried just about every President in the last 50 years."

Well, that sounds just fine to me! Maybe then there will be some... y'know... honest people who get the job!

I was also unable to find any other cite for this. Only reiterations of the Thompson article from this site. I'd be interested to know if it's true!

I saw this somewhere else first on Sunday or Monday...I'll have to dig it up and see if it's still there.

I was gonna say. Yes, scary, but CHB has been known to make stuff up.
