I stay informed. I think. I give a rat's ass and that's why I do this.

Can We Impeach George Before The Election?

What a boon to the Kerry campaign! We have an opportunity to convict George Bush of some pretty high crimes and felonies. That would certainly help him win in November.

This reigns supreme in the history book already, this I tell you. Forget Teapot Dome, Watergate, Iran-contra and Monica. Authorization of torture and proof of the commission of serial acts of torture in Guantanimo, Afghanistan and Iraq proves it to me. I don't need any more evidence. Congress needs to take action.

George Bush is not dancing around semantics of vaginal intercourse and fellatio. This is serious. He asked for legal advice regarding torture. The memo authorized it in no uncertain terms. The torture happened. Tell me, did these privates first class and specialists just know and then act to spare the president the embarrassment of giving a written order? They undoubtedly did not.

The brief was circulated with the implicit message that action was authorized. Pass the memo to the commanders and they take action. Whether this action came in the form of giving direct orders to commit torturous acts or just setting the scene and letting 'nature' take its course, the end result is the same.

We need to gut the administration and force GW out of there. Dick, too. He's more guilty than George, especially since he's actually smart enough to understand the gravity of his crimes. Cheney deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail. Bush should join him for about 30 years. Rumsfeld is probably at the capital offense level. Powell is obviously Secretary of State in la la land, by the way Bernstein describes it in a book the Bush administration endorses as being flattering. If we go after Colin, we're pumping an empty well. Nevertheless, he can get off easy. Tenet bailed, but you know he ain't talking. Tight lip Tenet. He won't roll.

Condi should be the one we get to crack under the pressure. She needs the relief. If you remember back a few months, you can remember the look on her face. She thought she'd crack in front of the 9-11 commission. She was able to 'answer' without perjuring herself. This time we will get her to spill the beans. Remember her Freudian slip from a while back? That, too, indicates that she really is the soft spot in the presidential armor.

I smell it. The day is coming soon. Bush will be gone.
