The Miers head fake

Would somebody please give this guy head so we can impeach him?

We weren’t cheered too much by Miers withdrawal from the Supreme Court nomination. It’s not as if Bush needed anything else to emphasize how truly out of his depth he is. I was always convinced the decision to nominate her in the first place went something like this:

Bush: “Karl, Dick, we’ve got to nominate someone for that big judge thing whatchamacallit. You know any good ‘ol boys who could completely tip the court off the edge of reason?”

Rove: “Dubya, I got my own damn problems here with this Fitzgerald guy. Can’t you do anything yourself?”

Bush: (Yelling down the hall) “Hey, Harriet, whatcha doin’ for the rest of your life?”

Cheney: (Stage whisper to Rove) “Evidently not.”

But, now that we’ve had our fun with Harriet, maybe we should turn our thoughts to those who’ve really paid the price for Bush’s incompetence and Rove’s treachery. In case you’ve forgotten, there is tape of Rove telling the Republican National Committee in January 2002 that the “War on Terror” would be the issue that would carry the Republicans to victory in the next election. Since the overthrow of the Taliban in Afganistan wasn’t going to take that long, they needed something else to keep up the image of Bush as the man to keep America safe.

So we get lies about WMD, the Plame incident, and a war that’s now killed 2000 American boys and girls, wounded and crippled another 15,000, and killed or wounded uncounted Iraqis. Does anyone still believe we did this for the Iraquis as opposed to doing it to keep Cheney and Rove in power?

The indictments that are probably coming down soon are already being positioned by the White House and their sock puppets as “technical” ones–ones that will probably be for perjury instead of the crime of outing one of our covert agents. We get a big laugh out of that, especially since Hutchison voted to remove Bill Clinton from office for just such a “technicality.”

But somebody’s keeping their eye on the ball, despite all the Republican pitches in the dirt.

Today Operation Truth released a new television ad. Watch it, please.

And would someone tell me how oral sex grew into an impeachable offense while all those flag-draped coffins are kept out of sight?
