Impeach him, seriously

Bush should be tried for war crimes; but that's another story. I've not been on the impeachment bandwagon -- until now -- because I saw no point in wasting my energy. The Dems lacked the backbone; so I thought I might as well spend my time thinking about other things. But now... But now... He's commuted Libby's sentence, thus mocking the jurors and the entire criminal justice system. Meanwhile his v.p. announces he won't hand over documents to the national archive since he's -- breaking news! -- not part of the executive branch of gov't. And I should mention that a higher court upheld Libby's conviction. All of which means Bush and Cheney are not beholden to the judiciary (the courts) nor to their own executive branch (justice). They are literally out of control.

Well, not completely beyond control... There's one last hope in the galaxy, a small band of men and women whom we call... our representatives. (Jeesh, does it have to fall to them?!) But there it is: They must impeach.

Check(s), please. And maybe a little balance? Finally? Someone? Please?
