Hey George Will!
If you're so smart, why did it take you so long to understand what has been painfully evident for almost five years now?
"He has neither the inclination nor the ability to make sophisticated judgments..." That much was clear when Bush named Dick Cheney to be his vice president; the man was a massive coronary waiting to happen. For all we know, the VP might be an animatronic duplicate that replaced Cheney after he died from the excitement of 9/11. The truth might be that the "bunker" that he was allegedly hiding in was actually his grave. Maybe not.
'In addition, the president has forfeited his right to be trusted as a custodian of the Constitution. The forfeiture occurred March 27, 2002, when, in a private act betokening an uneasy conscience, he signed the McCain-Feingold law expanding government regulation of the timing, quantity and content of political speech. The day before the 2000 Iowa caucuses he was asked -- to insure a considered response from him, he had been told in advance he would be asked -- whether McCain-Feingold's core purposes are unconstitutional. He unhesitatingly said, ``I agree.'' Asked if he thought presidents have a duty, pursuant to their oath to defend the Constitution, to make an independent judgment about the constitutionality of bills and to veto those he thinks unconstitutional, he briskly said, "I do.'''
When The Prez hears the word "constitutional" he thinks of a brisk after-dinner walk. Is it because you share first names with him that you cut him so much slack? His bumbling, inarticulate speech patterns reflect a mind that lacks clarity and discipline. That much has been obvious since before he was appointed as President.
His disregard for the US Constitution became obvious when he populated his administration with evil-doers from the Reagan Administration. When he hired Eliot Abrams, of Iran-Contra infamy, he made it clear that he valued results in terms of getting his way, above respect for the Constitution and the rule of law. Then there's the so-called Patriot Act. A president who understands and respects the US Constitution would have vetoed that bill.
What I find especially satisfying is this next thought that you published:
"...the presumption -- perhaps rebuttable but certainly in need of rebutting -- should be that her nomination is not a defensible exercise of presidential discretion to which senatorial deference is due. "
When Democrats want to examine how defensible the exercise of presidential discretion is, you and your ilk codemn them as obstructionist. Now that your ox is being gored you suddenly realize that malignant presidencies need to be checked and chastised. Congratulations; you're beginning to see the tip of the iceberg that is the Bush League's legacy of lies, corruption and naked imperialism.
Now that I've said "I told you so" to the unpatriotic right I want to take patriotic pleasure in watching the developing schism in the Republican Party.
The law of Karma is catching up with the masters of war. The Rovak affair should be hitting the fan any day now. There are rumblings that the result of the investigation will be a number of criminal conspiracy indictments. If that were to happen, as the Republican party continues to break in two, then impeachment would be much more likely. It is essential that Republicans lose control of both houses of Congress. Bush must be impeached!
I'll wrap by quoting Bob Dylan's message to the Masters of War:
"I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
On a pale afternoon
I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your death bed
Then I'll stand over your grave
Til I'm sure that you're dead."
