Bush hasn't gone through it because Republicans are protecting him in Congress; and because Pelosi wants to keep Bush as President to the end of his term. She thinks that keeping this Republican administration in office until the next election will ensure Democratic wins in both houses as well as a democratic president.
Their thinking is probably sound. There's enough scandal and imcompetence in the administration to roast Republicans for the next year and a half and then some.
Consistent with this, the dems fear that Republicans may make a come back if Bush and his administration are out the picture.
The irony is that, in the last analysis, Bush will probably not be impeached because he is as bad as they say. Republicans have to stay with him because their roles in supporting Bush in illegal acts in the past will become extremely damaging to them if there is a trial. As for the Democrats, they want to keep this thing going because they think Republicans will end up destroying themselves under Bush for decades.
Whatever, Bush is being spared for now because of the political plans of both parties, not because he hasn't deserved impeachment and conviction.
