Bush, Crazed, & Torture
One of the early responses to Clinton's take down of Chris Wallace was that the former President had lost it; that he was somehow crazed and that Clinton stepped over some line and became illogical with rage. Somehow those same folks didn't have the same reaction to this Rose Garden performance by the current President. You want crazed? You want illogical? You want over the line? YouTube has George Bush doing his best "I'm crazy" bit. I think I'm going to have even more trouble sleeping at night knowing that George Bush is the "decider."
I know it's too much to ask, but some brave American in the Senate better bring the Senate to a standstill this week if Bush's "get out of jail free" and "let me torture people" bill makes it to the floor. I don't care which Senator or Senators it is, but if there is anyone left in the Senate who actually takes their oath of office seriously, the Senate had better come to a grinding halt. And I don't mean no wishy washy "Secret Sessions," but a full scale stop. Let's have this out in public and find out where our Senators stand on the question of torture. Oh, and it'd be nice if several someones in the House would introduce Articles of Impeachment.
And before we let George Bush off the hook, let's find out exactly what mission was accomplished on his watch. I mean we're extending tours of duty in Iraq yet again and the Taleban are still pretty active, so what mission was accomplished?

In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executedGeorge Bush's "high crimes" are numerous. Everything from directing his appointees and staff to lie to Congress and the American people to conducting an illegal war to ordering the use of torture. Heck, for all we know he's probably taken a few bribes along the way too or at least helped suggest a few charities in need of contributions.
