Lewis Lapham and his book on Impeachment

[Ksec]

I saw this guy on Cspan this morning , who is the editor of Harpers. He put on a clinic on why bush should be impeached. He was thoughtful, responsible, level headed and damning with facts put out in simple,easy to understand terms. I was impressed and will buy his book. We should all buy his book.

My sister is an assistant editor there and he announced he is leaving a month or so ago.

He also said he plans on writing a few books , on history.

8. Vice President Cheney must be Impeached First

Vice President Cheney must be Impeached First

One of the main reasons the Bush Regime went to a war in Iraq,was because the Democratic Party was neutralized, by the belief that Cheney had the evidence, that Iraq was getting nuclear weapons. Cheney knew there were no such nuclear weapons. Cheney knew the story about Niger 'yellow cake' going to Iraq was a fraud. And yet he pushed that argument, in order to convince the Congress to to allow the war to go ahead."

Yet, now that (WMDs) in Iraq to be a fraud, those Democrats who are upset are not targetting Cheney, but going after President Bush instead. .


The immediate basis for the impeachment of VP Cheney is the obstruction of justice and coverup carried out by Cheney in the case of the leak of Valerie Plame and exposing and destroying the covert operation of Brewster Jennings, which V. Plame was in charge of. Dick Cheney, acted to cover up and obstruct justice in the search to unearth and prosecute the guilty parties.

The Plame case is not the only example of misconduct by Cheney that requires the Congress impeach him. Cheney has committed a fraud against the nation with his lies on Iraq, and also demonstrated blatant corruption in permitting the multi-billion-dollar ripoffs by his former company Halliburton. The evidence is overwhelming.

9. Zeno's Political Paradox - with the "this and that first," nothing happens

First and foremost, the corruption in our body politic is wide and deep. One or two impeachments or one or two elections would merely be symptoms of a beginning of a very long haul in returning this nation to any semblance of liberal balance. I'm not going to quibble about the niceties when nothing short of the imprisonment for 20-to-life of the senior members of this regime would be satisfactory. Nothing.

10. My favorite part of article....

"We have before us in the White House a thief who steals the country's good name and reputation for his private interest and personal use;

a liar who seeks to instill in the American people a state of fear;

a televangelist who engages the United States in a never-ending crusade against all the world's evil,

a wastrel who squanders a vast sum of the nation's wealth on what turns out to be a recruiting drive certain to multiply the host of our enemies.

In a word, a criminal—known to be armed and shown to be dangerous."
