All the Scandals, a running Tally
It seems like every time there's a major scandal in the Bush Administration, and it looks as if there's going to be an investigation, then impeachment, and an executive branch perp walk, we get distracted... by another scandal! It's almost as if someone was leaking all these crimes, each one more outragous than the next, just so we would forget about the crime that came before... There have been so many, I've forgotten a hefty number of them.

So I'm calling for a list, every crime they've committed since Selection 2000.

..............................................................................

Suppression of 50,000 Black voters in Florida.

Supreme Court intervention in recount.

*drawing a big blank.*

Aug 01 PDB

The Patriot Act

Enron

Downing Street

Valerie Plame

Invasion of Iraq based on "darn good intelligent (read bullshit)".

Jeff Gannon/Guckert

Katrina


I know, I've forgotten a ton... but it all needs to be remembered. They need to be held accountable for everything.

Maybe if all the charges are compiled together, along with the name of each law or laws that were broken per scandal.. we could convince SOMEONE to impeach his ass.

1. I’ve often thought of the same thing
It's almost such a daily occurrence that it would take a full time
person just to document all of it.

Good luck, I’ll be watching for further updates
