Republicans Calling Impeachment a Coup?
I'm feeling that I haven't heaped enough scorn on the administration's warning to the people of Nicaragua. This is an administration that takes great pride in contrasting itself to the previous one. This President claims to be a plain talker who says what he means and means what he says. No hair splitting about what the meaning of "is" is.
A Republican, G.W. is a member of the party that impeached Bill Clinton because Big Bill perjured himself about how he pleasured himself with an intern and a cigar. Quick to posture as if they inhabit the moral high ground, Republicans wallow in the mire of hypocrisy as tens of thousands have died because of the lies that the Bush League told the world in order to justify their imperial designs.
Then they construct a verbal formulation that redefines a democratic process through which malfeasance by the President of Nicaragua can be redressed. When a capitalist is about to be replaced by a socialist the spinmeisters call it a coup. When the Republicans tried to engineer a coup by impeaching Clinton because his shamelessness only went so far (I'm convinced that Clinton should have replied to questions about Monica, not by denying the truth, but by saying, in effect, "ain't nobody's busines but my own"), Tom DeLay & Company bristled at the suggestion that there was interest in anything other than upholding the rule of law. Their mantra was "This is a nation of laws." I got your laws right here pal: Unintended Consequences; Cause and Effect; and last but not least Murphy's Law.
There's another law that I heard cited not too long ago, Severeid's law; (after Eric Severeid a contemporary of Walter Cronkite), which states that all problems had their beginnings as solutions. I think the current condition of New Orleans is a good example of that law, which seems to be a corollary of the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The levees that, at one point solved a problem, turned out to cause a major problem in terms of the loss of marshland which, in turn, exacerbated the effects of Katrina and that further stressed the levees which then broke, and that ain't no joke.
