The scandals, the administration officials resigning in disgrace, G.H.W.'s Christmas pardons.
If honoring Wellstone gave the right-wing nutballs fits, it'll be worse if they try to ride this Reagan thing until the election.
Like I said above, it's better that it's this far away from the election.
I don't think it'll stem the anti-Bush tide.
Two editorials in the Sunday Star Tribune meticulously pointed out that Gonzalez (sp?), Bush's White House counsel, cautioned Bush that the plan to commit war crimes by torturing prisoners required a statement by the President that the Geneva Convention, by which the world and the US has lived for more than a half century, didn't apply.
A paper thin covering over for those bastards, knowing that they can be held responsible for war crimes under US domestic law.
We impeached a President over a consensual liaison. Yet, now we have a President complicit in conspiracy to commit acts upon prisoners that offend the US Constitution's ban on "cruel and unusual punishment," the standard by which the United States has gauged its compliance with the Geneva Convention. All under the flip cover that the Geneva Conventions "didn't apply."
Gonzalez also specifically informed Bush that the penalty for committing war crimes "includes the death penalty."
How numb a nation do we have to be to know we are being "led" by a man who has conspired to commit war crimes and may still be conspiring to commit more war crimes possibly warranting the imposition of the death penalty, before we wake up?
Reagan is peanuts next to the sociopathic craven lunacy of G. W. Bush, or as Nostradamus called him, Mabus (moving the "M" and the "a" to make an "H" gives us gWbus(H).)
