IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY

THE BUSHES MAKE THE MAFIA LOOK HONEST

The Bush family has been a parasite in the body politic. They've used the government and their connections to enrich themselves at much harm to the country and to the world. Prescott Bush, grandfather of the current Oval Office occupant, was a financier for Adolf Hitler. Former President George H. W. Bush headed up the CIA before moving on to the vice presidency and presidency. Junior was a failed businessman, bailed out consistently by his daddy's friends. He has brought that same dismal standard to the White House. The Bushes have been heavily involved with the Saudis, including the bin Laden family, for decades. The Mafia makes money in things like prostitution, drug running, and gambling, which seems almost honorable in contrast to war profiteering.

Making money from government service and war, and lining the pockets of family and friends is a sacred creed in the Bush family. The Corleone family in “The Godfather” showed more restraint and was less inclined toward violence than the greedy gangsters the Bush crime family unleashed on the world.

Using public office and influence to make millions is so ingrained in the Bushevik regime that they don’t even think twice when they raid the public treasury to take care of themselves.

Vice President Dick Cheney cashed in on his stint as secretary of defense to rake in millions in government contracts as CEO of Halliburton. The no bid, cost-plus contracts Halliburton subsequently landed in Iraq are just good business deals, expected spoils for imperial lords. The fact that Cheney was still getting residual payments from the company should in no way be considered a conflict.

As the Bushes gather this week, they have much to be thankful for. Their family business thrives and their wealth grows as the rest of the nation worries about having a job, making mortgage payments, having health insurance and paying for college tuition — concerns unknown and unfelt among the well-stuffed Bush brood.

Neil Bush, the president’s brother, is cashing in on the No Child Left Behind Act. Neil, you’ll recall, escaped indictment for his role in the collapse of the Silverado Savings and Loan. The taxpayers picked up the tab for his malfeasance. Failure in business means nothing when all you have to do is shake down your daddy’s pals for your next entrepreneurial experiment.

MCCLELLAN: BUSH INVOLVED IN PLAME LEAK

Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan in a new book says that George W. Bush and top White House officials were involved in the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name. McClellan, when he was working for the White House, denied such involvement. The evidence is clear that Bush and his minions leaked Valerie Plame's name to get revenge on her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, for writing an op-ed piece in The New York Times disputing Bush's claim that Saddam Hussein tried to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger. Bush and company compromised important intelligence and undoubtedly caused contacts of Valerie Plame to be killed in reprisal. This is just one in a series of impeachable offenses committed by Bush.

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan blames President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for efforts to mislead the public about the role of White House aides in leaking the identity of a CIA operative.

In an excerpt from his forthcoming book, McClellan recounts the 2003 news conference in which he told reporters that aides Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were "not involved" in the leak involving operative Valerie Plame.

"There was one problem. It was not true," McClellan writes, according to a brief excerpt released Tuesday. "I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest-ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice president, the president's chief of staff and the president himself."

Bush's chief of staff at the time was Andrew Card.
