Rush Limbaugh - impeachment & Espionage

* rush limbaugh has an article called "Left Sets Up for Bush Impeachment" and the lede is "The liberals will use the Fitzgerald investigation to launch impeachment and our side better be ready for it"

"There was no violation of this espionage act, because what's-her-face, Plame, she wasn't even covert, and you have to have been covert within the last five years and there's a six-year period of time we're talking about here between the last time she was covert and when her identity came out -- and it just seems to me that what's happened here is that we've had a crime or a series of crimes or alleged crimes committed in the investigation. So we've got a cover-up of a non-crime! I mean if you look at it, we've got a cover-up of a non-crime."

the interesting thing is that he is conflated the espionage act and IIPA - i dont know him so i cant say if he is doing that intentionally - but my guess is that it is intentional - which means it is probably a talking point, which means they are getting really worried about Espionage Act - which is great news :-)
