Well, probably not. At least not until Bush is out of office by democratic means. In any case, I refuse to let the mainstream press or the Democratic leadership say what we can and cannot do. They have a pretty bad track record on standing up when it counts Cough-Iraq-Cough!.
I just want to remind everyone that this is about specific results committed by specific people, who need to be specifically held accountable. It’s not about ideology. It’s not about your fuckin’ team. It’s not even about some lofty notions about how it might effect the election. It’s not even about whether you follow politics or not. If you think this administration should at least face the music and dance, it’s your right to demand it so that Congress can hire a dj. Everyone keeps thinking that war crimes will come about after he’s out of office. That sounds embarrassing to me, like asking the rest of the world to take out our laundry.
Most important of all, it just needs to get done.
It’s about a bunch of guys who are either:
a.) Grossly Incompetent
b.) Massively unlucky
c.) Willful, priggish bosses who only hired guys who kissed their ass and honestly don’t have a clue how badly they have fucked things up.
It’s up to us to show them. That’s the game, guys. Holding our leaders accountable. It’s all we’ve got. They’re not gonna do it. Nevermind all the patriotic platitudes. You don’t need flag pin or a Harvard education to know that our constitution was all about saying “no more kings”–not in this country. HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS is a legal term that ONLY exists for leaders, because it involves crimes so massive that they are impossible to codify, we can only catalog them.
At least gimme a HEARING! He can have a fair trial, unlike the prisoners of Guantannamo Bay and other black sites. Unlike George W. Bush with his secret military tribunals, I believe that if the whole bloody mess were laid out before the world in the open, that the evidence against him will be more than enough to convict him and his enablers even on a jury of his nearest and dearest peers. So we can finally all have one collective gasp! and step away from the abyss.
That’s impeachment, and it its necessary.
