So let me get this straight: Bill Clinton gets impeached for lying about a BJ he received in the Oval Office (recreating, I’m sure, an act that many of his predecesors engaged in themselves), while there is absolutely no talk of impeachment for W, whose lies don’t involve sexual improprieties but instead pertain to prepping this nation (and the world) for war in Iraq. Clinton’s BJ lies probably caused harm, both direct and indirect, to about five people in total (no matter what Kenneth Starr would have you believe). Conversely, W’s propaganda machine, which was spinning in full force in rallying Congress to underwrite his bloodlust-fueled misadventure in Iraq, resulted in the death or injury of tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers – a number that is magnified exponentially when assessing the impact on Iraqi citizens. Plus, there’s the likely trillions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money being spent on an ill-conceived war whose end is nowhere in sight. So what exactly is an impeachable offense?
The scope of W’s misdeeds, which were highlighted in Scott McClellan’s recent tell-all, was recently detailed in a Senate Intelligence Committee report. The report – amazingly - received very little attention from the popular press, who appear to be making habitual the act of failing the American people.
Consider: our Congress has spent more time examining the role of steroids in baseball than it has in holding W and his cronies to account for lying to EVERYONE in pushing us into war. Well done America.
