Brad DeLong, who frequently cites reasons he believes George W. Bush should be impeached on his weblog, has now called for Bush to be impeached because he is unpopular:

For a president to be so unpopular that congressman who represent highly rural parts of the prarie would rather spend time with their families than go to Bucyrus, Kansas to be photographed with the president–that is an impeachable offense.

Is this a joke? Since when did being unpopular meet the standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors”?

Update 6/3 9:21 PM: DeLong writes in a comment below that this post is “simply not fair” but doesn’t offer a specific objection.
