Entro-paeans

Now that Bob Woodward has planted a Claymore mine under Bush's reelection campaign that promises to explode in slow motion (just like in Swordfish!) over the next few weeks, I'm more convinced than ever that the road to Bush AND Cheney's tandem impeachments runs right smack dab through Riyadh.

I think Congress needs to start raising holy hell about this. When it comes to declassifying what they consider "CYA" material, the Bush administration pays out like a slot machine, no matter how sensitive the info. And let's not argue, at this late date, that there's no Saudi-Al Qaeda connection. (Personally, I would like to see ALL Saudi intelligence declassified NOW, but that's just me.)

And just in case the Congress needs a little how-to manual, this is how a Republican legislature impeaches and a Republican Senate then convicts and removes from office an incompetent, embarrassing Republican chief executive, for (among other serious charges) misappropriation of funds:

Are you Jewish?
-- [former Arizona Governor] EVAN MECHAM to author

Whenever I'm in my house or my office, I always have a radio on. It keeps the lasers out.
-- EVAN MECHAM

Don't ever ask me for a true statement again!
-- EVAN MECHAM

Ev has become an ethical pygmy.
-- STAN TURLEY, senate president and fellow Mormon


(Oh, and in case anyone reads through that last hotlink and wonders: The "Michael Scott" who defended Evan Mecham? It ain't me, babe.)
