Of Golf and War.
This is a nice panorama of Bush's Iraq war since its inception. Keith Olberman goes nearly apoplectic several times as he puts this president in his place. If this actually aired on MSNBC (as it apparently did), I am impressed. There may be some hope yet for American journalism (even if it is too little too late.) |

| wow..that was good. I still can't believe Bush said that. Did he really think it was a good idea? I have a hard time believing that anyone can be that dim. |

Not too long ago there was some nasty event which I cannot now recall and a short time later former President Noh was photographed playing golf. It caused an uproar.
Maybe Bush reads the Chosun Ilbo more often and more closely than we thought. |

So, let me get this straight. Hillary takes a huge political hit for lying about being under sniper fire when she actually wasn't.
This tool of a president says he quit golf out of respect for the UN chief killed by a suicide bombing when he actually continued to play golf for months later.
This alone shows you the "character" of the man. Shows you the "compassion" this man has for those who have fallen. Utterly disgusting.
You think anyone in the mainstream media will take Bush to task over this comment like they raked Hillary over the coals? |

| Its a famous misspelling of the word 'owned'. I think its comes from WOW or something similar. |

Oh yeah, forgot about that! LOL
"We must defeat the evil doers will all our combined might and dedication.....now watch this drive."
Shit, that clip alone should have driven this man out of office. I seriously don't understand how this man wasn't driven out of office. I shudder to think of what would happen if america were to suffer another attack. |

There are 2 reasons why impeachment won't happen. It might go forward, but it'll get stalled.
1) According to the wiki article Impeachment in the United States there has to be a 2/3 majority in the Senate to convict after articles of impeachment have been passed in the House. Right now the Dems have a slim majority thanks to the wishy washyness of Liebermann. Even with Liebermann (which is not likely) and Hagel and probably Snowe (ME) they don't have enough votes to pull it off. The Rethugicans will remain in lockstep with der F�hrer Bush and won't accept the shame of having to impeach him after having attempted to impeach Clinton. They have no honor or sense of moral fiber (see Larry Craig and David Vitter)
2) A Dem congressmen told a crowd of constituents that he and others were told by a Bush official if the House moved forward with impeachment that Bush would declare martial law. This statement was made in 2007 I think. Bush declaring martial law to prevent his impeachment this late in the game is kind of remote but it wouldn't come as a shock to me. Cheney would have to go too, because he's pretty much calling the shots.
If you think the Golf was bad, take a look at this
This is him and McCain, celebrating McCain's birthday while New Orleans flooded due to poorly maintained levees.
The callousness of these guys is never hard to spot or determine. |

Bush could be impeached but not convicted, just like Clinton was.

Here is the link to the video about Rep. John Olver refusing to introduce articles of impeachment even though 75% of his constituents signed a petition to do so, because, as the Congressman says, Bush would then
1) attack iran from the air;
2) declare martial law; and
3) call off the presidential election.
Far-fetched? We already have people writing and saying Bush ought to declare himself President-for-life. |

But just the fact that it is being talked about seriously is scary enough.

If you are not EFL-Trainer AKA keane, you must be his twin brother.
No Bush would not declare martial law that is B.S. As already stated above they couldn't get the 2/3 majority. |
