All the excitement of primary season has given George and Dick a bit of a breather in the news, but I’m glad to see that someone is still paying attention…in case you missed it, former Senator and Democratic Presidential candidate George McGovern wrote this op-ed which appeared in the Washington Post last Friday calling for the impeachment and removal from office of both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. McGovern says that Nixon looked like an amateur compared to these shitweasels (okay, he didn’t actually use the word shitweasels, but you know he would have if he could have).
Just because these guys are only a year away from the ash-heap of history, there’s no reason not to press on with holding them accountable for their high crimes and misdemeanors. After the debacle of the House deliberately nuking Dennis Kucinich’s impeachment resolution, now Representative Robert Wexler has picked up the standard. He’s gotten over 183,000 signatures on his web petition to re-introduce impeachment in the House (including mine, naturally). Kucinich’s bill was sent back to the House Judiciary Committee, where it was expected to die, but Wexler is on the HJC, and he’s not letting it go gently into that good night.
Sign the petition. Tell your congressional representatives that nothing short of full impeachment proceedings will be satisfactory. Don’t let the excitement of the possibility of a better President in 2009 overwhelm the need to call to accountability the Worst President Ever.
I’m wondering what exactly they’re up to now that nobody is really looking…
Playing chicken with Iran, apparently.
