Could the D.C. Madman Scandal Bring Down Bush???

Kucinich outlined three charges against Cheney: that he "manipulated the intelligence process ... by fabricating the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction" to justify the war in Iraq; that he deceived citizens and Congress "about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda" to justify the war; and that he has "openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United States, and has done so with the United States' proven capability to carry out such threats.

Dick Cheney is not only a danger to the world, but he is also a tremendous danger to his own party. If we attack Iran without any provocation (or more likely with a flimsy, contrived provocation), we will set the world on fire. Not only will there be disastrous consequences for our troops in Iraq, for our citizens across the world, for the state of our military and our defenses at home, but there will also be enormous economic and political consequences.

Dick Cheney is a danger to himself and all around him. He is a cancer on the White House. Whether he succeeds or not in starting the horrific wars he champions, it is a startling fact that he is even trying. The fact that he has any chance at all to succeed and is the second most powerful man in the country easily makes him the most dangerous man in the world.

I think it is time we all admit that our Vice President ... is seriously insane. On the heels of the off-his-meds Blitzer bit, he is making himself an international menace of Dr. Strangelovian proportions. Honorary blogger (and FDL Libby trial companion) Sidney Blumenthal:

"At Cheney's direction, intelligence was skewed to suggest links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida. Over the past year, as that intelligence was exposed as false and, worse, as disinformation, Cheney has defended the conflation of threats through a contrivance of illogic, also routinely repeated by Bush: "We were not in Iraq on September 11th, 2001, and the terrorists hit us anyway."

has it on film....SO WE CAN FINALLY IMPEACH THE WASTE OF OXYGEN. If they have it on film, they will still have to have the lady testify because the sheeple would just cry...PHOTOSHOP!

George Bush has started an ill-timed and disastrous war under false pretenses by lying to the American people and to the Congress; he has run a budget surplus into a severe deficit; he has consistently and unconscionably favored the wealthy and corporations over the rights and needs of the population; he has destroyed trust and confidence in, and good will toward, the United States around the globe; he has ignored global warming, to the world's detriment; he has wantonly broken our treaty obligations; he has condoned torture of prisoners; he has attempted to create a theocracy in the United States; he has appointed incompetent cronies to positions of vital national importance.

Now, would someone please give him a blow job so we can impeach him?

which seems unlikely

If Cheney is impeached, expect Bush to fall!

Rahm Emanuel cites Cheney's refusal to release the list of oil industry excutives who participated in the energy task force.

Everyone knows about Vice President Cheney's secret energy task force meetings with top executives from Exxon-Mobil, Conoco, Shell Oil and BP America. But science and sound policy have also taken a back seat to political considerations when it comes to the government's findings on global warming. The New York Times reported that when Philip Cooney served as chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, he removed or adjusted descriptions of scientific research to downplay links between emissions and global warming. Before joining the Bush Administration, Cooney worked for the American Petroleum Institute. After resigning his government post, he went to work for Exxon-Mobil.

Bush Administration officials even vacation with energy lobbyists. The Justice Department's former top environmental prosecutor, Sue Ellen Wooldridge, recently bought a beach house with an energy lobbyist and J. Steven Griles, a former Bush Administration official who pled guilty in the Abramoff case.

From legislation to government reports to oversight, the energy industry, one of the GOPs largest donors got what they needed.

To make his case, Emanuel will cite the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, the discrediting of a key critic of the justification for war in Iraq, the hiring of young, inexperienced Republicans to oversee Iraq's reconstruction, secret meetings between Vice President Cheney's energy task force and oil industry executives, the downplaying of links between greenhouse-gas emissions and global warming, the alleged use of the General Services Administration for partisan purposes and the hiring of an attorney for the International Arabian Horse Association to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The resolution offered by the gentleman from Ohio reads sensibly. It alleges crimes high and low, misdemeanors galore — all of them representing an effort to mislead the American people and take them into war. It is Dennis Kucinich's articles of impeachment directed at Dick Cheney. The vice president will, of course, deny he's a liar. As long as Kucinich is at it, add that to the articles.

In his articles of impeachment, Kucinich details the many statements Cheney made that turned out to be factually wrong. For instance, he quotes Cheney as saying, "We know they (the Iraqis) have biological and chemical weapons," which of course, they didn't. Still, that was excusable since it was early in the game and little contradictory evidence was being presented. As Condi Rice said Sunday, "When George (Tenet) said 'slam dunk,' everybody understood that he believed that the intelligence was strong. We all believed the intelligence was strong."

But in Cheney's case, the slam-dunking went on and on — way past the point where it was possible anymore to believe him. He continued to insist that Saddam Hussein had high-level contacts with al-Qaida — "the evidence is overwhelming," he once said — while others in the government not only knew that the evidence was not overwhelming but that it hardly existed. It was the same with Cheney's insistence — not just wrong, but irrefutably so — that Iraq had "reconstituted" its nuclear weapons program. The percussive march of these statements is so forceful, one after another after another, that it suggests Cheney wanted war no matter what. If he was lying to himself as well as to the rest of us, that is only a mitigating circumstance — sort of an insanity defense.

In his articles of impeachment, Kucinich alleges that Cheney "purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress" — and that, as the expression goes, is the gravamen of the charge. Kucinich doesn't stand a ghost of a chance of making it stick because Congress is not about to vote impeachment. But no one who reads Kucinich's case against Cheney can fail to conclude that this is a rational, serious accusation. It's possible that each individual charge can be rebutted, but the essence of it is shockingly apparent: We were being manipulated.
