Poll question: Who would you most want to see go to jail?
If only one were to do time, if only. So if just one * went to prison, who should it be?

28. Lacking that, I choose Bush ... since it'd make "all of the above" most likely.
Nail the "buck stops there" and you'd get all the buck-passing criminals on the way to such a justice-delayed result.

2. My heart says "Rove", but my mind says "Bush".
If only for the exclamation point it would put on an era to actually have a PRESIDENT behind bars.

4. Haha the reporter on MSNBC just said Rove and Cheney look like Bond villains.
Like "bad guys". I totally agree. :)

6. Gotta go with Bush
Even though Cheney is the suppository of all evil, it was Bush who was sitting in the best chair, and is therefore responsible for the whole illegal mess.

7. The architect of the unitary executive
and the main apologist for torture, David Addington.

Or the architect of the near bankruptcy of the treasury, Grover Norquist.

How about the legions of RNC operatives that corrupted the elections in 2000 and 2004?

There are so many scoundrels in that party and in the last administration that it's impossible to choose only one.

9. I'm not even sure I know whom to choose.
Cheney is the one who remains in the spotlight, pushing an "alternative" history. Who continues to do as much damage?

13. Without a doubt Bush!
Cheney may appear more attractive than Bush to arrest, but, when one takes into account how much corruption and harm the Bush family has inflicted onto our country. Bush is hands down the one I most would like to see arrested.

18. I picked Gonzales, for a number of nuanced reasons.
First--he was the AG. His job was to uphold the law, to be the "top cop" and to tell the President when he was breaking the law and take action against such behavior.

Second--He not only turned a blind eye, he aided and abetted. Actively.

Third--He's realistically "gettable." No one's gonna touch Bush or Cheney. If they didn't get Nixon, they're not gonna get those guys. It's just not going to happen. All that "To the Hague!!" shit is just that--shit. It's a nice dream, but it is a dream. A fantasy. I figure if we can get someone who is "gettable" we can also get the bum to spill his guts and destroy the reputations of his mendacious bosses for all time.

33. I could be wrong about this, but I perceive him to be "the weakest link" too.
He seems to me like a craven opportunist.

19. Yoo. because if Yoo goes down,
it means they were able to convict him on solid concrete evidence that was signed off by Bush, orders handed out by Cheney, etc etc etc. a RICCO warrant should/could apply, and even if it doesn't all the others could be linked through their own individual complicity anyways.

Yoo is the key.

21. Nothing's going to happen because Obama has swept Impeachment off the table too.

34. All "impeachment" is, is initiation of removal from office. That happened in January.
Those two assclowns ended their terms and were removed from office.

There's no "impeachment punishment" associated with the removal by a guilty verdict, either. No jail, no fine, no nothing. People who are "impeached" are brought to trial in the Senate. If they're found guilty they just don't get to go to work anymore.

Criminal prosecutions are a separate kettle of fish. Obama hasn't said anything that he couldn't walk back on that score. He never said "No way" or "No how." He did mouth some soothing comments (to shut up the GOP, or lull them, who knows) about "moving forward," but that was all sort of vague.

25. Bush, because........
While Cheney is evil and arrogant, Bush is not only evil and arrogant but also determinedly ignorant and proud of it.

I think Bush would learn a lot in prison. :)
