Okay, I'm Finally Sold

I never really got on the big Impeach Bush train. Mainly because it takes a lot of time, and stirs up a whole bunch of bullshit, and the very word will immediately cause our entire Washington Press corps to become extra stupid retarded.

Until the end of time, if anyone even whispers the word "impeachment", The People of the Great United States are going to be subjected to a monsoon like dumbfest from their liberal media about the grave Constitutional implications of Bill Clinton getting blown. On his spare time. In his home.

Between that, and a year or two of Bush, with a hostile Democratic Congress, I was all for running out the clock. Not anymore.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Thursday sought to put to rest the controversy over his decision to spare a top former White House official from going to jail, saying it was time to move on. He also called on the nation and skeptical lawmakers to stand with him on Iraq, despite a new report showing only mixed progress.

"There's war fatigue in America. It's affecting our psychology. I understand that. It's an ugly war," Bush said…

What is this pinhead talking about? There’s no war fatigue in America. Why would we be fatigued? Ninety nine percent of us haven’t been affected by the war at all. We got tax cuts. And war porn. A good thirty percent of us would like to start another war with Iran.

We haven’t seen the real ugliness. We can’t even see pictures of our own dead, never mind the tens of thousands of Iraqis. And Bush put the whole thing on our national credit card. We haven't even seen the bill yet.

We don’t have war fatigue.

We have Bush fatigue. It’s an ugly presidency, leaving horrific scars on the most perfect form of government man ever conceived. And over sixty percent of Americans just want it to end.

But it won’t. It goes on. And on. For no conceivable purpose other than to see just how bad it can get. It’s gone beyond stupid. The days of mere dishonesty are only a vague and pleasant memory. When this addled brained, garbled mouthed joke of a President speaks now, even Americans who despise this man feel a certain amount of nostalgia for the days when this administration was only appallingly incompetent.

The president also said that, while al-Qaida remains a threat to the United States, it has been hurt by his war on terrorism and is "weaker today than they would have been" otherwise. He spoke as a new U.S. threat assessment found that al Qaida had rebuilt its capability to mount attacks to levels not seen since 2001.

Now? Only the dead-enders can’t seem to accept that we have a dangerously delusional and reflexive liar in our White House.

And this small, dumb, incompetent jerk insults The People and the history of The Great United States every time he opens his smirk hole.

He questions our courage. He questions our will. He questions our motives. This C student, who has failed at every single thing he’s ever done in his life, who has committed the worst diplomatic and strategic blunder in the history of our nation, who has turned a two hundred and thirty billion dollar surplus into two trillion dollars worth of debt, who reads like nine biographies of George Washington every year because he’s too ignorant to figure out that the only biography he should be reading is of Lyndon Johnson, this mental munchkin can’t stop questioning our intelligence.

Bush acknowledged publicly for the first time that someone in his administration leaked her name to the news media. "And, you know, I've often thought about what would have happened had that person come forth and said, `I did it.' Would we have had this, you know, endless hours of investigation and a lot of money being spent on this matter?"

Yes, Bush has often wondered what he would have done if someone had just come forward and admitted that they purposefully compromised our national security by revealing the identity of one of our covert agents who spent a career trying to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

Bush wonders about it a lot. He thinks hard on it. He reads endless biographies of George Washington for some sort of guidance on what he, George Bush, would have done if only he had known who spoke to reporters about Valery Plame being a CIA agent.

And, yet, neither history nor the Sweet Baby Jesus has revealed to Bush what he might have done, had he known who discussed Valery Plame with reporters.

So, to this day, it’s a mystery to Bush. And he still wonders what he might have done.

The president had initially said he would fire anyone in his administration found to have publicly disclosed Plame's identity.

D’oh!

Several Bush administration officials revealed Plame's identity. White House political adviser Karl Rove and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage were the primary sources for a 2003 newspaper article outing Plame. Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer also admitted telling reporters about her. And jurors apparently believed prosecutors who said Libby discussed Plame with reporters from the New York Times and Time magazine. Libby was the only one charged in the matter.

That’s right. Libby, Rove, Armitage, and Fleischer all discussed Plame with reporters. Libby said he did so at Dick Cheney’s direction.

And Bush never fired any of them. Not one. Cheney and Rove are still working for him. Even though they did it. Even though Bush knows they did it. Even though Bush said he would fire any one who did it.

And Bush has the utter contempt for the American People to get on television and lament the money and time wasted on convicting Libby, money and time which could have been saved if Bush had known who leaked Plame’s identity and he had been able to take resolute action.

Even though Bush knows who leaked Plame’s identity and he has never taken any action. Except to commute Libby’s sentence.

Would we, as Bush wonders, have had to spend millions of dollars and endless hours investigating and trying the Plame matter if Bush had done what he said he would have done?

No. Absolutely not.

Basically, Bush is saying: “Once again, I just needlessly cost the American People millions of dollars. And I wonder if that time and money couldn’t have been saved if partisan politics had not gotten in the way of me not doing what I very clearly said I would do. So that’s a shame.”

Bush insults each and every one of us every time he opens his mouth.

He thinks you’re stupid. He thinks you’re weak. And he thinks you’re too timid to bet All or Nuthin’.

The only people Bush has more contempt for than the sixty something percent who want him out of office are the thirty percent who still approve of him.

He thinks those people are such mindless jellyfish, he doesn’t even try to convince them anymore.

Impeach this loser. Get him out. Do it now.

It's a matter of principle. The People of the Great United States--even the people who inexplicably voted for this jerk twice--can not tolerate this kind of disrespect from such an undistinguished, unimpressive, undereducated nobody.

We're much better, we're much stronger, we're much smarter, and we're much more courageous than this jerk could ever dream of being. The time for this asshole insulting the Great United States is at an end.

It's not even principle. It's a matter of national pride.

When that motherfucker ran and hid on 9/11, I lost every bit of respect I tried so hard to have for him. And he had the fucking nerve to strut around and say "bring em on". Fucking piece of shit cowardly bastard.

[Bruce]

I just read this and got my pitchfork and torch and headed out the door but there seemed to be a lot of cops around and I didn't see anybody else with pitchforks or weapons so I kinda snuck back inside cause there's some good tv on later on tonight.
Maybe tomorrow, if the weather's good.

[Peacechick Mary]

Pride, priciple or a dime, I don't care what - just get this bastard and his thugs out of here! Pleeeeeeaasseee.

[Kit E]

YES!!!

Merlallen, it is going to take all of us, with our torches and pitchforks, in spite of the police. I am a coward, though. I need others to say they will meet me in the street. I think most of us want to march, but are waiting for others to bolster them. How do we get all of us out there together? Is it going to take a nuke to Tehran? Then it will be too late.

I'd have to say that we don't have the most perfect form of government ever conceived, because in a parliamentary system, the chief executive is held more accountable and can be gotten rid of quickly if he turns out to be as big a disaster as Bush is.

[ricky]

True. But out of all the ones out there, it's the most perfect. Like the English, they have a parliamentary system, and they have horrendous shit like the Official Secrets Act and Law Lords, and all kinds of other quasi-feudal junk, the only purpose of which is to draw the line at just how far the rabble can push their luck with their aristocratic overlords.

You know, freedom and representative government, and egalitarianism is all fine and good--to a point.

But your point's well taken.

In our system, it's very nearly become impossible to get rid of a Republican. So that's a problem.

Though, Democrats with lousy marriages had better hope the Dow is booming, otherwise...

I would love to go 200 years in the future and see how all of this is actually viewed. By then so many cover-ups and secrets should be revealed it will be quite interesting.

I've got my pitchfork and it's barbed.

[ricky]

200 years in the future it's going to look exactly the same way it looks now--like the worst government in the history of our great country.

A stupid, pointless, brutal, corrupt, expensive decade wasted by an inept, under-educated, bumbling bafoon of an idiot man-child.
