Maxine Waters: Bush's Impeachable Offenses

[Sparkly]

Said by Maxine Waters, prior to the SOTU:

"His message tonight will not deal honestly with the mistakes that he's made. And I believe that the latest revelations about him and his spying on American citizens - no matter how he tries to frame it - are impeachable offenses. I believe that this president is not only spying on American citizens in the way that he's describing it, but to indicate in any shape form or fashion that he's been authorized by Congress to do it on the vote that was taken after 9-11 is plain dishonest. And further to try to imply that he's supported by the Constitution of the United States is even more dishonest. And so, I think that this issue that he's been caught red-handed on is really typical of who he is, how he handles this presidency, and what his leadership is all about: spying and lying. And I think it is important for us to understand that all of the other issues that we're going to talk about today - and particularly the war in Iraq - will continue to exemplify how he has lied and misled the American public."

1. Last week on C-SPAN, Molly Ivins said she saw a great bumpersticker:

"Impeach Cheney First".

I think this is a very good idea...:)

After all, seeing Cheney as Pres would indeed be a horror!

2. I SO agree with you!

Cheney is a monster. He and Rove seem to be the puppet masters of this admin., which isn't to say jr. isn't evil in his own right.
