The United States Congress is sworn to protect the people. Why is it then that each year these illustrious members of the House and Senate continue to find wild geese to chase. I’m so very tired of hearing about the 8 fired lawyers. Most lawyers deserve to get fired, in my experience. And now Republican Senator Chuck Hagel is suggesting the possibility of impeachment for President Bush.
The president says, I dont care. Hes not accountable anymore, Hagel says, measuring his words by the syllable and his syllables almost by the letter. Hes not accountable anymore, which isnt totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I dont know. It depends how this goes.
The conversation beaches itself for a moment on that word impeachment spoken by a conservative Republican from a safe Senate seat in a reddish state. Its barely even whispered among the serious set in Washington, and it rings like a gong in the middle of the sentence, even though it flowed quite naturally out of the conversation he was having about how everybody had abandoned their responsibility to the country, and now there was a war going bad because of it.
Seriously. As many mistakes as have been made in Iraq, the war was still the necessary move. It’s just one chess piece in a far larger match. Men like Hagel are opportunists masquerading as reasoned. He adopts this low-key profile and thinks that it will give him a presidential air so that he himself can one day be elected. I’m calling Hagel what he is right now because of his latest remarks: unelectable. Just like Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
Take that for what it’s worth.
Hello, Congress! We’ve got Mexican illegals invading the USA. We’ve got Islamic terrorists planning to murder our children, and you people want to continue playing power-broker games in Washington like a pack of spoiled French Royalists from back in the Marie Antoinette era. It’s nothing less than contemptible.
We need term limits on everyone. No more than 9 years after 2 or 3 elections and then you’re out.
