Declaration of Impeachment of George W. Bush and Richard Cheney,
By the People of the United States of America

WHEN, in the history of a democratic government the institutions and laws established by the People to guarantee their inalienable rights come to be so weakened, ignored, openly violated and openly contemned by the highest elected officers of that government, in violation of the Constitution, the laws and of their oaths, to such degree that the lawful means of redress, correction, and punishment in such cases has been rendered ineffective, and the corruption of the institutions established by the People, and the seizing and consolidation of power by these faithless and corrupt officeholders, has subjugated democracy and created the imminent threat of the emergence of a fascist tyranny, such that it becomes necessary for the People to assert their role as the sole source of all legitimate government power and to remove the criminal and corrupt officeholders who threaten freedom, a decent Respect for principles of democracy requires the People to declare the causes which impel them to this action.

I think that we can all agree here that Keith Olbermann is pretty fucking hot, and he’s even hotter when he rants. I mean, I think it’s pretty clear that I do love a guy when he’s all upset and fired up about something (as long as that something isn’t me). Anyway, so, on Friday, Keith got his rant on about Hillary Clinton’s comments about June being candidate-assassination month and that’s why she’s staying in the race until then. But, if you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, or just get distracted by the pretty, after the jump I’ve got the best part: where he catalogs for us the many, many gaffes of her campaign for which “the American people” (aka, um, basically us liberals) have forgiven her, and perhaps inadvertently describes why many of us don’t really want to vote for her. It’s pretty fucking epic, people.

Sometimes, a man needs to rant. For beloved commenter Hotsauce, today is that day. We do like to be service-y, particularly if there is profanity and an abiding hatred of someone we don’t really like involved.

George W. Bush is a lying, draft-dodging, warmongering, piece-of-shit little douchebag. He and his cohorts used the fear and uncertainty that followed the tragedy of September 11, 2001 to dupe a good portion of the country into supporting the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation. He claimed it was to fight terrorism, yet he chose the one nation in the region that was not a safe haven for Islamic extremists (at least not until after he invaded it).

There are many theories as to why the idiot boy king chose to invade Iraq rather than go after Al-Qeaeda, and I’m sure it had nothing to do with the friendship and business relationship between his family and the bin Ladens. Some speculate that Bush invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein ordered the assassination of the Dubya Daddy, and Junior did it for revenge. Some say it was for the oil, some say it was because insecure little Georgie wanted a legacy.

I say it was because this pathetic little puppet was so beholden to those who helped get him into the position of the most powerful person on the planet (at least, it was before he got hold of the job) and, when they wanted a return on their investments, a war economy was the only way to give it to them. That, and the overpowering delusions of grandeur that have been spoon-fed to him since he was a spoiled, drunk-driving, draft-dodging, coke fiend of a cheerleader in his early 20s.
