Bush impeachment: Win, lose or draw

The House of Representatives voted 238-180 to send Representative Dennis Kucinich’s article of impeachment to the House Judiciary Committee for review. This move in effect quashed the article which is based on President Bush’s reckless reasoning, and outright lies to the American public to justify attacking Iraq, and trapping us in a senseless war which has taken the lives of close to 4,000 American servicemen and women, destroyed the lives of countless more, killed over 100,000 Iraqis, and helped further destabilize a region that even when Daddy Bush was President, was a tinderbox just waiting for some hick to light a cigarette, and throw in the match. Enter George W. Bush, hick extraordinaire.

Congressman Kucinich might as well be wearing a clown suit and hitting his head against the wall of the Capitol Rotunda for the way he’s portrayed by the media, and it seems, by some of his Democratic colleagues. Even the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi had made it clear that the House would not entertain articles of impeachment to remove George Bush from office. The vote today was no more than a pacifier in Kucinich’s mouth, if for no other reason, to keep him from reintroducing new articles, which he promised to do, if this one had been defeated in Tuesday’s vote.

It’s obvious why the Democrats do not want to pursue this action, and especially at this time, despite the fact that if they really dug, and got the courts to overturn the Bush mantra “Executive privilege, executive privilege”, they probably would have found clear evidence that would approach criminal behavior, but in the end, it would have been very difficult to make anything stick. Add to that the fact that time itself will remove W. from office in almost exactly six months. They would still be setting up the logistics of the impeachment hearings by the time January rolled around. Instead of being branded hateful, bitter and even worse unpatriotic, the democrats would rather just take another sleeping pill than wake up screaming from the nightmare of his presidency.

George W. Bush is already thinking about his legacy, his place in history, and his Presidential Library, but history will surely show, that this man who twice swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, was ushered into the most powerful office in this country solely on his family name, twisted the Constitution in his favor on many occasions, and trampled it on others, lied to the American people countless times, and served as the most special interest controlled President in decades, if not in U.S. history. His disservice to this country will be felt for years to come, and his future grandchildren's generation will still be paying for the deficit his ego, his ineptitude and his self-righteous acts have caused. But his future grandchildren will not struggle as others in their generation will, because they will inherit the same silver spoon which their grandfather had in his mouth. But the scariest part about George W. Bush is that in his own mind, it seems as though he actually believes his own lies, and justifies them all a just part of the good fight in the name of a sort of hawkish, evangelistic, faith-based manifest destiny, where corporate high-wigs come first.

But there is one very good reason why the Democrats aren’t pushing this, and it has nothing to do with making Dennis Kucinich look like an idiot. To start the Kucinich Three Ring Circus now would be to take the spotlight and media attention away from their candidate Barack Obama, who’s doing quite well against his opponent John McCain. Having a buffoon like Bush stay in office until the end plays right into their hand, and if Obama is able to maintain the edge he’s nursing in the polls, come January, the Democratic Party will have one thing to say when it’s their play. They’ll look around the table, trying to read the hands of their opponents, take a deep breath, and say the magic words, “All in”. Then George W. Bush can go back to his ranch, plan his library, shoot things, and ride his steed into the sunset, hopefully staying far away from public life. Then we American people can ask his home state to do one thing. Please Texas, hold’im.
