Murtha Says Impeachment IS an Option
By Linda Milazzo
On CSPAN’s Roundtable Conversation this past Friday, Pennsylvania Congressman Rep. John Murtha stated that the United States would NOT be well served if a new majority Democratic House attempted to impeach George W. Bush. He also stated that Democratic House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi holds the same opinion. Said Murtha, “I think Nancy’s taken the same position. She’s said over and over again let’s not talk about impeachment. Let’s try to solve the problems of this country.”
Then why not start by removing the nation’s principal problem, George W. Bush? If Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Murtha want “to solve the problems of this country,” removing George Bush would be a superb place to start. Especially since his presidency is the de facto creation of the idiot Drs. Frankenstein who currently occupy our Congress. Those who have fashioned this President into an overpowered, overindulged, overruling monster.
Odd that they’ve named this the “do nothing” Congress when they’ve obviously done way too much.
To those who attribute the re-creation of this Presidency to Mr. Cheney and Mr. Rove, I respond in the strongest Rumsfeldian terms, POPPYCOCK! Had the spineless Congress not voluntarily relinquished its power, chunky Rove and chubby Cheney would be nothing more than a pair of flabby men whom any adult could kick the living crap out of.
But no, rather than controlling the sibilant ‘S’, baby-talk Bush, both houses of Congress collapsed into a theatre of the absurd. Coerced, feckless and dedicated to their own demise, they created the unitary executive which severely diminished their power. And since only fools relinquish their power, this is a Congress of Fools. On both sides of the aisle.
Pelosi’s spineless anti-impeachment position is nothing new. Neither is her disabuse of international anti-Bush/anti-American sentiment. Pelosi is so insulated from world opinion that Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez actually shocked her when he publicly demeaned George Bush during his recent visit to the United Nations. True Chavez was a bit over-the-top, but at least his weapons were ‘words’, and not the torture, guns, bombs, depleted uranium, and body burning phosphorous that are the weapons of choice for George Bush. Nonetheless, Pelosi deemed Chavez “a thug” and vehemently defended George Bush.
