enough with the ‘i’ word.
I’m reading the online liberal rags today and they’re getting more and more comfortable with The ‘I’ Word. Salon.com is reporting that people are hunky-dory with an impeachment proceeding against Dubya if he lied about the reasons to invade Iraq.
Liberals and anti-Dubya folks are popping boners the size of Texas over the thought. Before you all rub one out to thoughts of hauling Bush into the Well of the senate for a public flogging, it’s worth noting that’s a rather large and bulbous ‘if’ from here to impeachment.
For starters, if we learned one thing from Clinton’s impeachment, it’s that it’s a political process first, followed by a legal process. Guilt or innocence truly is a tertiary issue during an impeachment proceeding. Simply put: facts don’t matter as much as you’d like to believe.
Secondly, good luck proving Bush lied about an Iraq war. Oh sure. I may certainly believe he and the Pentagon cooked the books. And I may very well be right. But I have serious doubts about a paper trail.
Thirdly – and most importantly – do you really and honestly believe an impeachment proceeding is a good idea? I, for one, do not. It smacks of a vendetta over the ridiculous impeachment of Bill Clinton. Just because that was pointless does not give this Congress license to crack back.
It’s one thing if they have ironclad evidence of a lie, or cover-up. But I doubt they have that. As such, an impeachment just looks petty (and it probably is).
Bush is a lousy president, no doubt about it. But I’m not sure being a close-minded, slow witted, dull thinking, crony-loving, dim bulb of a buffoon rises to the level of impeachment. The ones with whom you should be pissed off are the Democrats. They’re the ones that screwed things up by not doing a better job of electing congressman, senators and a better presidential candidate.
You can’t replay the down, so tone down the ‘I’ word and focus on 2k8. I really wish liberals had half a brain about elections instead of playing armchair quarterback over the last election.
