Impeachment: Dogs and ponies take center stage

I am so fed up with the impeachment proceedings. Instead of water boarding terrorists, they should be required to watch all of the TV coverage. They would sing like a canary.

I saw Washington Sen. Patty Murray on TV. She looked like she was in a trance. These are the type of things that scream term limits.

Any straight-thinking person should know this is going nowhere. As a former elected official, I am embarrassed by their conduct.

Bottom line, this trial is designed to embarrass the president. I honestly don’t know how Nancy Pelosi ever got elected to office, let alone speaker of the House.

This is truly a dog and pony show.

Richard M. Lawson, Sumner
