How Unhappy is Arlen Specter?

So the Chair of the Senate Judiciary mentioned President Bush's name in the same breath as impeachment? That's pretty unexpected and unbelievable, especially given the fact Alito, who has no respect for executive restraint, received smooth sailing through the judicial nomination process in large part due to Specter. I look forward to the open door hearings that Specter plans to run on wiretapping. Surely if Nixon was forced to resign over Watergate, should not Bush be forced to do the same? For all we know this is an illicit attempt to collect information on political challengers. (We already know it includes anti-war student protestors.) Then again, for all we know this could just be Specter's chemo talking.

Also, quite possible the unhappiest man in the NFL is Mike Vanderjagt, supposedly, the most precise field goal kicker in the country, who missed a field goal that would have sent the Steelers - Colts game into overtime. I guess Peyton needs to wait until next year.
