The slap in the face to the American people over this is disgusting.
It makes it hard to appreciate our so-called independence when he acts as a King (just as you dubbed him). I do not at all understand how anyone can still approve of him.
Me too. And the irony of him doing this right before Independence Day? Our independence, those very freedoms Shrub touts, depends on the laws and human rights our system of government has set up, "We hold these truths to be self-evident..." The fact that our president has subverted those laws at every turn, challenging the very system he had sworn to protect when he isn't outright lying his way through the process to speed us into war, demands that something drastic be done.
The fact that he did it before the Fourth only more clearly illustrates that which we know: He doesn't care what any of us think. It's horrific enough that he was going to do it at all (but I'm not really surprised...I mean is anyone?) but to do it before this holiday...
I'm all for impeachment, but of course I have been for a very long time.
ok, it's sad that I don't have one appropriately serious icon for this discussion. LOL
We hear so much down here about how the liberal media is stifled and it's almost impossible for journalists to ask quetions and get answers directly from the president, and about how biased Fox and right-wing news organisations are. (Whether any of it's true or not, I don't know.)
I will only allow you to impeach Bush AFTER you impeach Cheney.
I have a friend who was an investment banker. He met, and worked with, Cheney and said he was scary dangerous. My friend is not a man unaccumtomed to meeting the powerful, nor is he easily frightened, so I am impressed. Furthermore, everything we know of Cheney's activities reinforces my friend's opinion.

I could be imagining this, but did Keith tremble/shake during one part of the commentary?
I think the majority of Americans are just waiting out the rest of Bush's term and hoping that things will get better. Impeachment won't happen, sadly.
Oh, I saw the shaking - he was infuriated. Frankly, it was good to see someone channeling my own feelings.

I actually am taking the long view on this one - and hoping that these fuck ups make people realize what this sort of zealous right-wing agenda leads to. Unfortunately, I think most people are complacent and don't like to think. As long as they don't directly experience something, the abstraction and symbolic nature means nothing to them. Oh, unless the invisible little man circling the earth forbade it 3000 years ago.
I agree with you. Unless something drastically change and the Americans can see the direct relations of the Bush administration/heavy partisan politics to their day-to-day existence, the kind of mass outrage needed to change things will not materialized.
Oh, unless the invisible little man circling the earth forbade it 3000 years ago. Who?

The whole thing makes me sick.

It's refreshing to see this.

I like that Jon Stewart always presents Cheney as Darth Vader. He really is. "Scary dangerous," exactly.

God. I realize I made him sound like an astronaut, instead of hovering behind the clouds.
