You can also blame the cut backs in the FDA for the contaminated beef recalls, the tainted spinach, and the pet food poisoning.

It's pretty disgusting. With these scumbags in charge, American's food has become more dangerous and polluted now than it was 50 years ago. A big step backwards for the US.

Sure why not; it's not like there is any good true reason to try and impeach him. (Hence the Democrats slobbering over themselves at the idea but only Kucinich has brought anything up, all of which was quickly ignored).

The Dem's sure aren't pansy's when it comes to wanting to Nationalize the Oil Industry, Socialize Healthcare or keep gas prices high. What makes you think they wouldn't impeach Bush if there was even the slightest bit of truth to those allegations?

/Though keep at it, I always laugh when people wish to see a "perp-walk" from someone they never will.

Not sure who to blame for loud comercials, but I understand why they do it. (Course I'm usually flipping channels come comercial time or skipping through them so it's not a problem for me.)

Speeding Tickets, well that's an easy one. I blame A) Me for speeding (hey if I'm doing it and get nailed, I fess up) and B) Competition between State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies attempting to snag the ever elusive buck.

And who claimed those people were *bad*, don't think I did. I'm not a fan of Socialized Healthcare nor Nationalized Industries, and personally I'd really like to start domestic drilling but I wouldn't consider them Satan's Handmaidens. (Well Pelosi could probably pass on looks, but that's just being "snarky")

/Bad? Geesh, get with the times, the term is "wrong-headed" now

I wonder if Bush is beginning to recover popularity now due to the "Scarface Effect" where once a villain has gotten so over the top the audience begins to root for them.

There is no question whatsoever that Bush has both directly (through lying to start the Iraq war) and indirectly (firing competent government officials and replacing them with cronies and corporate stooges) been responsible for the deaths of thousands of people and the illness and suffering of thousands more. Yet even now the Fark forums are full of people defending him. Impeaching this monster is ridiculed. Prosecuting him is dismissed.

Yes, Bush should be prosecuted. If Vincent Bugliosi can put together an entire book of evidence setting out the case, gee, do you suppose there might be something to it? Of course not, Bugliosi is just another in a long line of attention whores, right?

The American food supply is less safe due to fewer inspectors, fewer inspections, and an official climate discouraging taking action against corporations unless the problem becomes too big to ignore. These policies come straight from the top and like shiat roll downhill over us all. Go on, defend Bush some more, tell us some more how government should be downsized and the market can regulate itself. We can all see how well this is working.

/Yay, Bush, you're setting such a high bar for presidential abuse of power that you've made Nixon look like a good guy and it'll take the frakking Anti-Christ getting elected to the Oval Office to beat your record.

farbles: I wonder if Bush is beginning to recover popularity now due to the "Scarface Effect" where once a villain has gotten so over the top the audience begins to root for them.

Personally, i think Mr. Bush is a pretty cool guy. eh expands his legislative powers while erroding civil libertys and doesn't afraid of anything.

I am pretty sure there were a couple books on how the Clintons killed Vince Foster too. Are you saying there is something to it?

Just because some wing-nut pre-truther writes a circumstantial book and can convince his zealot friends it is true doesn't mean it is true.

Mosey:

I say consider the source. Bugliosi isn't some nutbar out of a privately-funded "institute".

What does this sentence even mean? Pre-truther is code for what exactly?

Is this salmonella story about migrant workers pooping in the field again?

Hey guys, let's keep impeachment in the minds of all of the voters for the upcoming elections! Of course we're not maneuvering at all by doing this now instead of earlier, especially when nothing effective will come of it! Please, lap it up, you love us for it.

Oh great.. now Karma's pissed.

farbles: I say consider the source. Bugliosi isn't some nutbar out of a privately-funded "institute".

Neither (there are two from a quick search on Amazon) of the authors on Foster books are hole-in-the-wall nutbars either. Both are successful, one is a journalist (who debunked the black concentration camp story years ago, as it happens).

Or are you saying, when you agree with the premise you give the author credibility but if you don't then he gets none?

What does this sentence even mean? Pre-truther is code for what exactly?

pre-truther: zealot conspiracy theorist before they had a catchy name. i.e. Just because a book is written doesn't mean dick. It means there is a good deal of circumstantial evidence that a decent writer can tie together and make a pretty compelling argument in a vacuum.

Pretty much any book by, well, any political pundit in any party, or any book by Ron Graham should tell you that.

Lou Dobbs. Talk about "angry old man" and "pancakes". I stepped in some dog crap yesterday, and felt that my local officals did not adequately do their jobs in enforcing the "clean up after your pet" statute. I filed papers to impeach Bush the very next hour.

Bush needs to be sent to Gitmo for a taste of his own medicine.

Oh, fair trials? Sorry Mr. Bush, you got rid of those.

You know, I got a sun burn the other day, can we include that?

wow, you guys found yet ANOTHER straw to grasp at! awesome!

It's official. Lou Dobbs has lost his mind. He's driven himself mad ranting about illegal immigration all these years.

Don't forget the price of gas. That's W's fault too. And global warming. Need to kick his ass for that. And the levee along the Mississippi - that's his evil doing. And that fact that you hate your job and are living in your mom's basement. Better head to Washington and hold up an anti-Bush sign about that. Everything is Bushes fault. Because in ObamaHillary land, there is no personal responsibility for anything. It's all the government's fault.

Sort of like ex-press aide McCellan's book. He makes a big media splash by saying this is the tell all book that will reveal Bush to be an evil despot, but when he gets in front of a Senate hearing, it's all, "Yeah, I don't think Bush knew" "I don't know if they really said anything" "I don't know - but I was suspicious". But he's had his 15 minutes of fame. That's what's important.

How much you wanna bet this tomato impeachment thing ends up with Dobbs thinking the contaminated tomatoes really came from Mexico or were picked by migrant workers.

Just pick a farking reason and get on with it! I don't care if we impeach him for his chimpy smile, or his golf scores, or the way he combs his hair. JUST DO IT already!

So he says a book was written showing how Bush is guilty. And you jump straight to "Well books were written about the Clintons..." also known as the "b..b..but CLINTON!" cliche. But more importantly by not defending Bush and attacking Clinton you have essentially stated that Bush is guilty and you will instead have to shift the argument because your position has become indefensible.

The politicizing of the federal civil service, all across the board, has made every citizen of the USA a little bit worse off. The only time that this massive attack on competence comes out is in cases (such as this one, or the mining safety bureaucrats) where there is a direct link to the officials and incompetence.
But there have ALWAYS been problems with the civil service, and the insiders looking to pull a fast one to improve their profit margin.

This is one of the great paradoxes of the Cheney/Bush administration. They have made things so bad in the civil services, across the board, by appointing bureaucratic pols instead of the competent, that the performance of the civil service has become markedly worse, this from an entity whose competence was already the butt of many a joke.

If the rule of law comes back to the USA after Cheney/Bush, and the whistleblowers can finally come forward without fear of retribution, the ensuing stench may just be enough that federal civil service will finally, at long last, receive some long needed
quality assurance. The old saying is that "everyone is good for something, even if only for setting a bad example". The neocon government has been so very bad that cleaning up after it will be the only thing worth remembering them for.

I'm tired of these snarky comments implying that everyone blames Bush for everything. No, he's not responsible for everything (he's only the President) but he's a shiatty President. Just admit it.

How is it that Congress passes laws allowing and encouraging Bush to do what he's done, then they turn around and tell him he's wrong? You guys are blaming the wrong people for this shiat, and you're letting them all get away with it. You're letting their zeal to fark with Bush blind you to their involvement in each and every scandal, which is exactly what they want. They dangle a shiny "impeach bush" in front of you, and you completely forget to hold them accountable. It's the most obvious political maneuver I've ever seen; so howcome everyone else is so easily misled?

Mugato: I'm tired of these snarky comments implying that everyone blames Bush for everything. No, he's not responsible for everything (he's only the President) but he's a shiatty President. Just admit it.

See, unlike previous presidents, who served merely as figure-heads for established policy, Bush is different in the fact that most everything that's farked about America was written out by either his pen, or the pen of his hand selected cabal.

He was the one who dubbed himself The Great Decider, and with great power comes accountability.

Congress, The Senate, Courts, etc. have like 800 people involved. With the president, the spotlight is focused directly on one individual.

I know this reply counters my previous post, listed above, but it is alot easier to focus vitirol at a single individual, instead of deluding yourself into thinking you can purge a collective body of beurocrats.

Don't talk to those commenters, talk to Lou Dobbs. He probably won't answer your email though, and even if he did you wouldn't enjoy it because he's a big giant douchebag. Hmm. In that case, try talking to Shawndoc and Goodfella, who just made shiat up in this very thread. They lied -- just made it up, easy as you please and didn't even expect to get called out on it. So when folks start accusing idiots of blaming Bush for Martian warming, you can look at idiots like Shawndoc and Goodfella, who do exactly that.

Apparently Republicans wanted to impeach Clinton over a BJ, yet Bush can't be impeached not even over Iraq, illegal wiretapping, raping the Constitution. If the salmonella outbreak gets this monster impeached, i'm all for it.
