If Republicans knew what was good for them, they'd impeach Bush themselves

I just watched that Jack Cafferty clip from CNN for the third or fourth time in a row. Remember about two or three years ago when he hit that cyclist with his car in NYC, and we all hoped the old son-of-a-bitch would get everything he had coming to him? Now I find myself in his cheering section every time I hear him open his mouth, and that's messed up. If an old, stodgy, curmudgeonly conservative is saying things about Bush in this direct, uncompromising fashion -- like that his domestic spying activities have placed us a hair's breadth from DICTATORSHIP! -- then he can't possibly be alone on the Right thinking and worrying about things like this. I swear, if Republicans had heard him rant like this just one year ago, they'd have thought the old fart had come unhinged. Just to refresh your memory, or if you haven't seen it, here's the link:

It seems I continually hear about the woes of the Republican members of the Congress, suffering excrutiatingly under the weight of Bush's sinking poll numbers. Whatever shall we do, how can we preserve our majorities in the House and/or Senate? With Bush in the high-30s, they wouldn't even appear with him (witness Rick Santorum's "conflicting schedule"), and now with him in the high-20s, they're about to see that millstone drag them to the unfathomable depths.

At first, they tried the meme, hey, if the Democrats take back majorities, they're gonna start up expensive investigations and maybe even -- GASP -- impeachment hearings! Yeah, so like if you hated it in the '90s, you'll hate it even more when it's us, and even if you loved it in the '90s, you've probably had your fill of it by now. Sure. With 25% and even lower visible through the fog, it seems like the greatest Republican coup (no pun intended) would be if they took it upon themselves to impeach their own party's President. Cripes, it could only HELP their popularity, couldn't it? It remains to be seen.

Bets on whether and when, anyone?

There are NO morals left in the repug party, a conscience, a sense of working FOR their constituency? If not, that's intolerable.
As many have said, how do we get rid of them?

At the same time, they work twice as hard trying to convince the American People that their constituency is the American People.

It's hard work.

:wow:

I wish they'd boot Blizzard and put Cafferty in his place. He needs a bigger time slot!

But I don't think the Bush operation will let that happen.

They think they are going to turn Bush into a mythic Reagan like figure in the American consciousness.

I think the coo laid drinking Republicans think, this too shall pass, we'll get our buddies in the media to take care of the History.

After all they can say that anti-American liberals dragged down his popularity because they disagreed with Bush's bold plan to save civilization from the evil Islamicists.

I can't see them taking on Busholini, even at this point.

The Libertarian inside of me wants to give him a big hug. :)

Is this MSM enough yet, folks?

Looks like Project X is progressing well. Congratulations!

Oops, I forgot: Project X does NOT exist. So never mind.

What will Junior poll on August 8, 2006? It'd be fascinating if he catches up and passes Nixon, even if wind-assisted.

:)

Keep it up, 'pubs.

That would go a long way in the Credibility dept. ANd they would control the process, thusly they would be able to control the damage.

Tricky Dick. Will the Rethugs save themselves once again?
