Bush's War

The one thing that criminals such as our present White House (not to mention the types who do land in jail) always forget is that there are only two kinds of secrets. History is based on the fact that secrets are either not good enough to keep (like George Bush's moral and military careers,) or, they are too good to keep, like the way he made his money or the way he staked his 'legacy' on his faked holy Iraq war, and to hell with truth and the lives of thousands of innocents. The real problem seems to be that in neither case do the media or the public seem really to notice the truth that finally comes out, or worse, give a damn. Again, the good old British, despite their vicious Official Secrets Act - a law that George would sell his soul for - have today let more of the real, ugly, cat out of the bag. Yet twice last week I saw and heard Bush (at risk to my retch reflex) repeat his well known lie, in front of millions of people, on imperishable digital videotape, to the citizen who slipped through the 'loyalty oath screen' to ask why he decided to invade Iraq the day after he was appointed to his job. He lied again to good old Helen Thomas, the gadfly press corps hand of thirty years, when he finally let her ask a question after six years in the back row. You gotta admit he has gall! He couldn't match words with Thomas the best day he ever lived. Why is this man still in office? Isn't there some way to catch him in something the crackpots in his camp will find unacceptable enough at least to get him impeached? It worked for the other side and Clinton never killed a single American. Won't somebody give this guy a blow job so we can impeach him?
