Impeachment Now

In his new book, "What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception," former White House press secretary Scott McClellan claims President Bush "veered terribly off course," was not "open and forthright on Iraq," and took a "permanent campaign approach" to governing at the expense of candor and competence.

According to Politico.com, the key points in the book:
• McClellan charges that Bush relied on "propaganda" to sell the war.

• He says the White House press corps was too easy on the administration during the run-up to the war.

• He admits that some of his own assertions from the briefing room podium turned out to be "badly misguided."

• The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them — and McClellan was continuing to defend them despite mounting evidence they had not given him all the facts.

• McClellan asserts that the aides — Karl Rove, the President’s senior adviser, and Lewis (Scooter) Libby, the Vice President’s chief of staff — "had at best misled" him about their role in the disclosure of former CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity.
Confirmation, in my eyes, that the President, the Vice-President, and their Fascist minions lied in order go get us into an unnecessary war and outed a CIA operative. They may have only 7 months left in office, but there is absolutely no reason - none - why Congress shouldn't begin impeachment proceedings against these criminals. They've essentially wiped their asses with the Constitution.

(Imagine a minute the reaction of the Republicans in Congress, the folks at Fox News, and the whole bunch of 'em, had a Democratic administration done what these miserable imbeciles have done! Dennis Hastert would have been sworn in as president as early as mid-2003!)

Say it with me: The. Worst. President. Ever.
