Delusional and Criminal

That's what MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle called President Bush after yesterday's miserable press conference. On the network's Scarborough Country last night, Barnicle said:
We have a President of the United States who is isolated. He‘s delusional. He is stubborn. The deaths in this war right now...the deaths of American soldiers verges now on the criminal. And I don‘t think that‘s too strong a statement. It verges on the criminal.
Regarding Bush's refusal to listen to the Joint Chiefs, Scarborough said:
Well, this is uncharted territory...I want you, if you will, to imagine, how would Republicans have responded if President Bill Clinton had ignored the advice of all of his Joint Chiefs, his top general in the war zone, his former Secretary of State, and 80 percent of Americans? Is it not a stretch to say that many Republicans would have considered impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton if this situation were identical?
Ain't that the truth!

Right after last month's elections I said the new congress shouldn't over-reach on impeachment. But it is becoming increasingly clear to me that the new congress should keep impeachment on the table. It is after all a part of the Constitution's remedy to rid us of an incompetent president.

And, my friends...George W. Bush is incompetent in spades.
