Impeach Bush?

August 29, 2007

When I took Frodo out for a walk this morning, I saw that one of my neighbors had a slim billboard/sign in their front lawn that said, simply: IMPEACH. It was a narrow, vertical sign and it said: IMPEACH on both sides.

Nothing else.

Maybe they were referring to the Oxford village counsel (I've heard of worse ideas than impeaching all of them, actually), but I doubt it.

I think Bush and all his flying monkeys have been a train wreck of almost Biblical proportions, but a year and a half from the end of his final term, I can't imagine any real political futility of impeaching Bush.

Here's the nightmare scenario, not even accounting for the fact that government grinds to a complete halt when impeachment is considered.

We impeach Bush.

Dick Cheney becomes President of the United States. (Oh yes, you would need to impeach both Bush and Cheney, darlings! Then you would have President Pelosi. Hmmm...) Cheney, finding no one who really supports his policies in Iraq, nominates John McCain to Vice President. Cheney, who claims he will never run for President, finds himself in the dubious situation of being a sitting President, decides to run, with McCain as his running mate.

A potential eight more years!!!!

Please, please, won't someone wake me!

Cheers,
