hell’s handmaiden

Well, not really but maybe if theystop for gas in the wrong towns in Vermont. Yes, this is a symbolic gesture. It isn’t the first though.

I’d prefer we go after his boss but…

Democrats.com has a petition, which I’ve already written about in Now that the Democrats have the House… but which is worth reprinting:

I support the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:

1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal “War of Aggression” against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, and misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization.

Take a peek at 01:10 to about 01:20. That isn’t the story I heard.

The video is from 2006. It isn’t new, but it isn’t really old news either, especially with another election coming.

Things to watch for in the film:

• Telling, though circumstantial, is the reaction of Clayton Roberts to questions early in the video, about time 1:30.
• Database Technologies, a company with ties to the Republican Party (7:25), created voter lists that were used to exclude Florida voters.
  • They were paid millions for ‘manual checking’ of names. This was never done (4:00).

The formula with some people seems to be ‘Investigation’ == ‘Anything Goes’. This time it is Matt Margolis, who writes:

I’m starting to get concerned that William Jefferson, like so many other Democrats, will get away with his corruption.

Blogs for Bush: The White House Of The Blogosphere: Bull S**t

Ignoring the supreme irony of a Bush supporter complaining of corruption, what is Margolis talking about? Louisiana Democrat William Jefferson’s office was raided by the FBI in the course of a corruption investigation. However, ‘the FBI violated the Constitution by reviewing legislative documents‘ in the course of that investigation. Margolis is annoyed. “Sigh… another Dem is going to get away with corruption.”

From the AP:

“I have nothing to hide,” Gonzales said in a statement released Sunday.

Quote of the Day: Alberto Gonzales

Well… gee. I guess we should believe him then right?

Sadly, most Americans don’t.

In the poll, 67 percent said they believed the prosecutors were fired by the Justice Department for political reasons, not on the basis of their performance. About eight in 10 Democrats and two-thirds of independents said they saw political motivations behind the firings of the U.S. attorneys, an attitude shared by 53 percent of all Republicans surveyed.
