I wonder how many more of these we're going to see in the coming years, not that it's the first...
Seems that no matter how many of Bush's former aides and cabinet members resign and write books testifying to the crimes of the Bush Administration (and strongly condemning the very tactics that they so heartily participated in utilizing during their tenures), no charges will be brought, no impeachment trial commenced, no real accusations ever laid against this president. Seems he will leave office with the same canary-eating grin with which he came. No revelation of dishonesty or wrong-doing shall fell him, no utterly substantiated accusation will be validated against him or his remaining miscreant accomplices. No.
It's like the United States is Sleeping Beauty and it can't wake up for anything. Wake up! Wake up Sleeping Beauty! Impeach Bush. Impeach Bush. It's not too late. It's not too late until the day he leaves office. Do it for the record. Do it for the honor of this unfairly disgraced country. Do it for my brother Josh (it's all he wanted before he died). Impeach this man in the name of the war crimes for which he is so flagrantly responsible. I dare you to be a country that lives up to its revolutionary roots. Bring these fuckers down.
Where are the real democrats when you need them to stand up in Washington? Where are you real democrats? Did you ever really exist? Is this, combined with evidence that government contract profiteering and theft of taxpayer funds has run rampant since the commencement of the war, along with clear violations of international treaties and United States Laws regarding pre-emptive war, surveillance, detainment and torture - is it not enough? I ask you. Is it not enough to impeach this entire administration and everything they have ever touched?

Not much hope, or utility for impeachment at this late date, in an election year when we're ahead, and with so many Repukelickin's still in Congress, but on their way out. Might just distract attention from Obama, energize the 'Puke base, generate sympathy for Bush, close their ranks, start the shredding and generally be counterproductive.
Better to catch them unawares after we get full control of the Administration & Congress, and start putting in real judges. Then we can criminally indict & imprison them. Do a full investigation of the 2000 & 2004 elections, 9/11, Iraq, etc, etc, etc. Lock 'em all up for good. Bust up the Republican Party and maybe execute a few neocon traitors.
Impeachment is hard to do, takes too much time & energy, and just amounts to a slap on the wrist in the last months of an Administration.
I'd rather see them actually rot in prison for their truly terrible crimes. I have faith that Obama will do that. But we all have to stay involved in the process after the election, and demand that our will be done. Otherwise, it'll be business as usual real quick.
Don't get mad. Get even.

Well, if I said how I FELT, the Secret Service would gitmo me and I'd never see my computer again. After all, I'm not Liz Trotta!
What time is dinner? I'm slobbering over here. Enough with the food p*rn. You should have your own show! Mhhhh bacon hhhhhm.

Hahaa. Food porn. I love that. Do you remember the Seinfeld episode where George decided to eat a sandwich while having sex? He wasn't entirely wrong, was he?

Yeah. Totally wrong. I mean, a little whipped cream or honey once in a while, but food & sex don't mix for me. That's what happens when you work in a restaurant.
Food p*rn, though . . . Those late-night commercials for yummy stuff that make you want to run out in your jammies and grab a cheese-steak or something. Oh, yeah!
That's maybe the very best thing about NYC: 24/7/52 great food & drink. In the rest of the country, you just have to live with the fact that NO, you can NOT have a felafel or a hot pastrami sandwich or shrimp lo-mein or a banana omelette or a martini at 3, 4, 5 in the morning.
Collapsing cranes or not, NYC is still the best place to live in the whole world. They should put Bloomberg up in one of those cranes until he decides to do something besides pass the buck. Disgraceful. Thank Gawd it's only on the Upper East Side. Stay in Bklyn where there's no skyscr*pers. (Might be a lotta cranes in Downtown Bkly soon tho, hunh? Too bad.)
Hey, can you still see the clock at night on the Williamsburgh Savings Bank building by BAM from almost anywhere in Kings County? Say hello to Junior's for me!
