IMPEACH BUSH


IMPEACH CHENEY

AN ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINALS

In a just world someone like George W. Bush and the thugs around him would never achieve high positions in the United States government or anywhere else. These are people who parade around like paragons of virtue while they cheat, lie, torture, and kill. The irony is that they can get away with it because this is the United States, the strongest military power in the world, and it would be difficult to ever try Bush and company for the war crimes they've committed. But maybe they should still be tried, even if it's in absentia. It should be on the record for world history. In this article Bill Gallagher takes a look at the criminals that comprise this administration. The article is at www.smirkingchimp.com:

All the media frenzy about pardoning Scooter Libby is missing a broader issue. Many others in the Bush administration are in need of pardons, and for far more serious crimes. They'll get pardons or head to Canada begging for asylum.

Scooter was caught lying and obstructing justice to protect his boss, Vice President Dick Cheney. It's as simple as that. Cheney ordered the hit on former ambassador Joe Wilson because he dared to speak the truth about the lies used to sell the war in Iraq.

For a political thug like Cheney, Libby taking the fall for him is business as usual. Libby will never spend a single night in prison because President George W. Bush will pardon him right after his sentencing.

There will be howls that the move is aimed at buying Libby's continued silence, but frankly, folks, Bush doesn't give a damn. His failed presidency cannot lose any more support.

PLAYING WAR

I liked the section of this story about a guy who wanted to give Bush toy soldiers so Bush could play war and leave the rest of the world alone. He also wanted to give the Mexican president a mat so the Mexican president could kneel without hurting his knees. The story is mostly about Bush's fixation on food. It reminds you of the incident in Europe where Bush uttered a profanity over a microphone and was obsessed with roast pig. What a leader! This story by Traci Carl is at www.huffingtonpost.com:

Gerardo Fernandez flew to Merida to deliver gifts to Bush and Calderon. But he wasn't exactly welcome.

The spokesman for Mexico's leftist Democratic Revolution Party brought a bag of toy soldiers for Bush so that the U.S. leader "can play war and leave the world alone." For Calderon, he brought a door mat so the Mexican president "can kneel without hurting his knees."

He tried to deliver the soldiers to Bush's hotel on Monday evening, just before Bush arrived, but wasn't allowed past security. So he climbed the rusty, 10-foot-high metal barrier and tossed the plastic toys over, to the puzzled looks of security guards on the other side.

On Tuesday, he was still carrying the door mat, leading a one-man quest to the hacienda where Bush and Calderon were meeting. He soon hit another security barrier there.
