Attacking Impeachment with 'Chicken Little' Rhetoric Merely because ex-Clinton Administration official Laura D'Andrea Tyson now is dean of a business school, that does not transform her politically motivated opinion into an ''economic viewpoint.'' Similarly, if Julia Child were to write a column shamelessly supportive of the President in Gourmet, that alone wouldn't make it an article about good food. Tyson's ''An impeachment trial would punish the economy'' (Economic Viewpoint, Jan. 11) contains nothing more than ''Chicken Little'' rhetoric. It's a vain attempt to scare people to save the liar-in-chief's hide. Her disingenuous commentary is reminiscent of the fear-mongering about the stock market the Clintonistas pushed on the Sunday morning talks shows just before he was impeached. Well, nothing happened. Finally, Tyson's argument is tantamount to backing Mussolini because he made the trains run on time. I don't imagine Tyson would say Nixon should not have been impeached because certain economic, social, and political problems were in flux at the time.
