Utter failure, utterly disgusting

I know some bloggers on the left have saying this since the Year 2000, that momentous shift of procedural and legal wrangling that gave Bush the presidency. But it is overdue time to bring to bear the full brunt of accountability and exposure of the moral disaster that is this administration.

I don't mind thinking in terms of impeachment, although politically it may be the wrong move simply for its difficulty. Nevertheless, one of the criteria for impeachment is incompetence. We have never had an administration as utterly incompetent -- and then uncaring, perhaps even stupidly unaware of its own incompetence.

Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Treason: Karl Rove, George Bush, Dick Cheney.
Bribery: Dick Cheney
Crimes and Misdemeanors: George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Tom Delay
Utter incomptence: George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice

The US has suffered disaster after disaster during this administration, and they have consistently blamed underlings not nearly in a position to have done otherwise but follow orders from above. The "responsibility" administration has consistently deferred responsibility to those it then fires to take them out of the public eye.

This is no longer a paranoid lefty position. This is our reality. We have three more years of this presidency and plenty of further disasters planned down the pike. They are ruining the country in the name of making a few friends and families richer, and they have done so by sending thousands of people to their deaths, ruining the country's international reputation, leaving immense clean-up jobs to future presidents and future generations, and have exacerbated the inability to clean up those problems by sticking with a defunct, archaic, and idiotic ideology. Damn these people to hell. Bush may be a stupid man, but stupidity is not an excuse for fundamentally immoral -- even criminal -- policies. Why, gubernatorial Bush himself had no qualms about executing retards.

These people need to leave, now. We should demand their resignation.

When I was about 7 or 8 years old, my friend Brad and I put on a play. I had my mom invite over many of the adults from the neighborhood to see the play (about 15-20). But Brad and I -- dumb kids as we were -- thought it would be enough to do a civil war re-enactment that involved me being shot in the leg (with lots of ketchup) and then he and I trying to set up a tent in the middle of my parents living room. The tent, requiring stakes, didn't work of course, and we end up thrashing around inside a collapsed tent. My mother finally said gently, "okay, boys, that's enough." And the she served hors d'oeuvres to the guests while Brad and I cleaned up the mess of ketchup and tent.

That's what we need -- we have one mom, Cindy Sheehan, but we need the one in political power who can say, "okay that's enough" to the administration. This is no longer simply political maneuvering -- we are bordering on a ruined state. Won't you please, a couple of you, on both sides of the aisle, start us down the route of "that's enough"? Please, for God's sake.
