The Nation -- George McGovern has a word for Vice President Dick Cheney: "Resign."

Responding to Tuesday's conviction of Cheney's former chief-of-staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and lying to the FBI -- after a trial that revealed Cheney's intimate involvement with a scheme to discredit a critic of the administration's war policies -- the former congressman, senator and presidential candidate said it was time for the vice president to go.

1. Have No Fear!!! The Battlin' Congressional Dems Have Your Back!!!

This will not stand! Bush will be brought to justice via the brilliant new concept of NON-BINDING IMPEACHMENT!!! Once the Dems suggest that Bush leave office, he'll start to cry and his mascara will smear. You'll see!!!

It'll be good fun, and nobody will get hurt.

When someone like McGovern, a highly-respected elder and statesman (albeit a known "liberal"), speaks for forthrightly, one has to ask, "Who will be the first 'highly-respected elder and statesman (albeit a known "fascist") to echo the call?' "



Seriously, when the Republicans made that fateful ride to the White House to chat with Tricky Dick, it was all over. Imagine being a Republican Senator today.

2. If Cheney Respected Constitution and Country, He Wouldn't Be Impeachable!

and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.
