Nancy Pelosi Should Resign As Speaker

In the current issue of Time magazine, in the 10 Questions section, Speaker Pelosi is asked this:
Why have you taken impeachment off the table as an option for President George W. Bush?

Which seems like a reasonable question, and is one I would have asked the speaker, if given the chance. The speaker's response was totally not what I expected.
I took it off the table a long time ago. You can't talk about impeachment unless you have the facts, and you can't have the facts unless you have cooperation from the Administration. I think the Republicans would like nothing better than for us to focus on impeachment and take our eye off the ball of a progressive economic agenda.

So Nancy Pelosi Admits that the main reason she isn't pursuing impeachment is that the Bush administration isn't cooperating.

This is what passes for leadership in the Democratic party.
