At a forum in New York, pundits and politicians called for the impeachment of George W. Bush.
  • Bush is having his way, and will continue to do so.

    "In short, the wheels are flying off the Rove-Mobile. And as the momentum shifts against them Dick, George, and friends will be in for a helluva ride. Impeachment is just the beginning!"

    I've heard this many times. How things are falling apart for Bush & Co. Think about it though: Bush has lied like a rug. He has looted the national treasury. He has sent thousands to their graves. He fished after being told that Al Qaeda planned attacks on US soil. He played the guitar while New Orleans drowned. All with impunity. What has it ever cost him? He still manages to appoint whoever he wishes to the Supreme Court. He still manages to escape any meaningful oversight. He still tortures, even after "Straight-Talk" McCain himself passed a law that supposedly would stop that. He still manages to cripple social programs while enriching his pals, fattening the defense budget, and putting us deep in debt. A supine Congress and complicit press have served as his enablers, and the Supreme Court will affirm his right to do all the above.

    Impeachment? We will need to reroute the Potomac to clean out this modern version of the Augean stables.
