    impeach

    There are some things a leader does that are beyond acceptability. My grandfather fought in the First World War, and was so traumatized, he made peace his mission. He later won a Nobel Peace Prize.

    I can say without pause, he would have found Lee Atwater's/Karl Rove's jugular politics profoundly objectionable. But more than that - isn't it a just little funny how George Bush Jr., Rove, Cheney, and Rumsfeld all managed to avoid service in Vietnam? These are men who never saw battles overseas. But they're reaping the dollar rewards.
