Worse than a Fool - Criminally Negligent

James Wolcott, in his latest blog, discusses George Bush and Impeachment - but NOT over wiretapping. Interesting, no?!

"Worse than a Fool"

Among the many peculiarities of this president is his utter refusal to listen to those within his own orbit in the oil realm. It's understandable, if unacceptable, that Bush would ignore the warnings of environmentalists regarding Peak Oil and global warming, but why would he tune out the words of his gummy ally Tony Blair, Matthew Simmons, the expert oil analyst and author of Twilight in the Desert who has briefed Bush personally, and Richard Rainwater?

Wolcott then posts snippets from this great piece on Peak Oil and why George Bush should be impeached because of a combination of his knowledge of and inaction on, Peak Oil and the looming crisis. The essay will be included in a book, The Case for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney to be released by Seven Stories Press this summer. I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy!

There are so many reasons that Bush's name should be dragged through the dust of his post-presidency for the harm and disgrace his administration has inflicted, and so impeachable offenses for which he would prosecuted today if we had a Congress worthy of the Founders. His malign indifference to Peak Oil and global warming may be the greatest of his crimes, because it will lead to the misery and deaths of untold millions of people, animals, and natural resources.

It is part of the job of leaders to foresee problems and either steer around them or prepare for them. A head of state is analogous to the captain of a ship, who is responsible not only for keeping his vessel on course but also for avoiding hazards such as storms and icebergs. Some problems are not foreseeable; others are. A ship’s captain who loses his vessel to a freak 'perfect storm' may be blameless, but one who steers his passenger liner directly into a foggy ice field, having no sonar or radar, is worse than a fool: he is criminally negligent.

...soon, it seems, there will be more reasons to impeach this President, than reasons not to.

1. Depraved & Indifferent Voting for Mendacity has consequences!

Bush truly believes he has a mandate from God and constitutional authority derived there from.

and he is actually a sociopath who has never learned that actions have consequences.
