Impeachment has GOT to be the #1 priority in the new House. We don’t need a 2/3 majority in the Senate; the investigations alone will force Chimpy and Darth Cheney to resign.

It’s up to the House, now, to decide: are you with the country or are you with your own position of power?

Not My President.

Yes he is. God help me, but he’s mine too. He is all of our (Americans’) president. And he will continue to be our president until and unless he is impeached.

To deny Bush while denying impeachment is pure denial. We will neither fix nor even begin to address our problems while Bush is president, precisely because Bush IS the problem.

Bolivar said (paraphrased from memory) “After me will come dictators.” If we do not deal with Bush, and by dealing with him I mean impeachment and trial, then worse will follow. Bush exists because Nixon walked. If Bush walks, you can kiss the republic goodbye, if we have not already waited to long to deal with him.

There is simply nothing more important now than to re-establish the rule of law. The rule of law includes finding and punishing the guilty. Punishing the guilty is vital when the guilty are the very keepers of the law.

This is what informs the Nuremberg principles. When heads of state violate the norms of acceptable behavior, who is to hold them to account? The reason to hold them to account is not to stir up old wounds, but to act as a deterrent against it happening again.

We had Nixon as a warning, and we let him off with a resignation. We had Reagan doing much of the same thing, and we let him skate away scott free.

Now we have Bush. We cannot let him walk.

By this time next year, some reassuring Republican Senator will be President. Chuck Hagel, maybe. The Money Party just stopped betting on the Republicans, so those in the party with a sense of self-preservation will drive Bush and Cheney from office and replace them with Hagel, or Olympia Snowe or someone.

The investigations over the next six months are going to make Ken Starr look like the joke he really was. The embarrasment will be so great that they’ll retire Cheney for health reasons, and then push Bush out for “treatment”. The system’s already had enough. This “surge” is Bush’s death throe, if one can have a “throe”, and not just “throes”.

Now, normally I’d be happy to try it — with the understanding I would then uninstall it, and re-install ver. 1.5.0.8 right away.

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to do that — have to get a lot of medical info together tonight for a visit with a new specialist tomorrow. And I’m not the least bit “ready” for Christmas, just swamped.

Um, you don’t have to un-install and re-install at all. This isn’t Microshaft IE. You can keep both 2.0 and 1.5 on the machine at the same time. If you download and try out 2.0 and don’t like it, just ignore it after that. Easy stuff.

We interrupt our programming for this special bulletin…

IF MORE PEOPLE HAD READ MOLLY IVINS AND JIM HIGHTOWER IN 1999, WE WOULDN’T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!

IF MORE PEOPLE HAD BEEN PAYING ATTENTION IN 1999-2004, WE WOULDN’T NEED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION!

We now resume our scheduled broadcast…
Please excuse this and subsequent interruptions.
This bulletin may be rinsed and repeated as deemed necessary.

Right on – and as were all sane Texans screaming – more than once I’ve wondered what collective and humongous offense we put on God that required that the foul Bush family of Connecticut come to Texas, wreck it and then move on to wreck the country?

He’s not my President either, he is a criminal who needs to be indicted as the banner on my humble page has been yelling for almost a year.
