Larry Johnson:"If We Can Impeach A President For Lying About A Blowjob..."
George W. Bush, Rogue President
Submitted by davidswanson on Fri, 2006-04-07 02:46. Evidence
By Larry Johnson

If you saw Cameron's version of TITANIC, I am sure you recall the scene just after the ship disappeared below the surface and the heroine, Rose, was grabbed and forced underwater by another passenger who couldn't swim. Today, Scooter Libby was that passenger and George W. Bush is Rose. Only in this case, there is nothing heroic about George W. Bush. In fact, Bush is a coward.

......................

The disclosure that Bush was informed of the DOE and State dissents is the first evidence that the president himself knew of the sharp debate within the government over the aluminum tubes during the time that he, Cheney, and other members of the Cabinet were citing the tubes as clear evidence of an Iraqi nuclear program. Neither the president nor the vice president told the public about the disagreement among the agencies.

By the summer of 2003, it was clear that the skeptics in the intelligence community were right. So, what did our fearful leader do? According to Scooter Libby, President Bush ordered him to spread disinformation with the press. The President tried to cherry pick intelligence and feed the line to gullible reporters that Joe Wilson's claim about Iraq's efforts to acquire uranium from Niger was wrong.

What we now know, without any shadow of doubt, is that Joe Wilson's version of events, namely, that Iraq had not tried to obtain yellowcake uranium in Niger, was accurate. In fact, the CIA had to recant on the President's 16 words in the State of the Union address, which claimed the opposite was true.

Today's revelation is simple and riveting--the effort to smear Joe Wilson went to the very top of the White House. This was not an operation of rogue political operators. Instead, we have a rogue President. If we can impeach a President for lying about a blow job from an intern, the time has come to impeach a President from giving the American people a line of bullshit about Iraq used to justify a war that has left almost 2400 American soldiers dead. George Bush did not leak to protect America. He leaked to cover his ass. That, my friends, is the definition of a coward.

1. actually it wasn't the blow job, it was that a door was shut he said was open
by definition of the court a blow job was not 'Having Sex'.. testimony showed a door he said was open during the act was actually shut.. thus the purgery

that is how it was explained to me

2. just a typo here?
"The President tried to cherry pick intelligence and feed the line to gullible reporters that Joe Wilson's claim about Iraq's efforts to acquire uranium from Niger was wrong." ummm .... I believe it was Mr. Wilson who attempted to say Iraq had no efforts to obtain uranium from Niger.

7. The problem is, that's *ALL* we can impeach for now.
The ReTHUGs not only "lowered the bar", they put in a very narrow window.
There will be no impeachment of Il Douche as long as he keeps his limp-assed trouser snake housed. End of story.
