Colin Farrell is not your ordinary hit man Feb 14, 2008
Bruges, the Belgian port city known for its medieval architecture and Flemishness, is referred to in such unspeakable terms during the upcoming In Bruges that one would have expected the town to convict actor Colin Farrell and director Martin McDonagh of high crimes in absentia, and exile the movie to Luxembourg.

It was a bummer for all concerned, from its tawdry beginning as an item of Internet gossip to its ambivalent end when Clinton, having become the first president since Andrew Johnson to be impeached by the House, was by a Senate reluctant to flatter Clinton's infractions by calling them high crimes or misdemeanors. Everybody lost, with one exception, or possibly two. (Slate)

Perhaps it should be possible to impeach a president for "gross ineptitude" or "unconscionable stubbornness" or "fundamentally losing the confidence of the American people."
