Forget impeachment. --instead have a trial lawyer sue him for "product misrepresentation" !
Love it. I would be for this!

........The president’s best interest, and the nation’s, would be better served if Bush heeded Sen. Richard Lugar’s call for a new bipartisan approach to Iraq, as some White House advisers are reportedly considering. And instead of offering campaign-trail rhetoric on budget issues, the president could negotiate seriously with Congress. He may still have enough power to fight the Democrats to a standstill and drag their popularity down. But where would that leave us 18 months from now?

“I’ve learned you cannot lead by dividing people,” a presidential hopeful said in a June 12, 1999, speech in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, announcing his candidacy. “This country is hungry for a new style of campaign. Positive. Hopeful. Inclusive. A campaign that attracts new faces and new voices. A campaign that unites all Americans toward a better tomorrow.”

Forget impeachment. Given how Bush has governed for most of his presidency, can one of those trial lawyers he loathes sue him for product misrepresentation?

I suppose Bush’s lawyers would defend him by saying that in 1999, he was talking only about his campaign, not how he’d govern. Still, Sarkozy, the most pro-American French president in a long time, seems to have taken Bush’s earlier words to heart. The 2007 Bush might usefully sit down with Sarkozy over a nice plate of freedom fries to figure out how to do it himself.

1. malfeasance in office is a good charge also....
Malfeasance in office, or official misconduct, is the commission of an unlawful act, done in an official capacity, which affects the performance of official duties. Malfeasance in office is often grounds for a for cause removal of an elected official by statute or recall election.
