4. sing it from the ROOFTOPS. he promised security and now THOUSANDS
rotting in the long hot summer of a devastated New Orleans. He should not only be impeached but exiled and forced into a lifetime of service as a bottom rung Peace Corp worker in places like Darfur.

I spit on him as a leader. Leaders are supposed to lead--not cower in the fox hole until the all clear signal is given.

11. Sing it, my sister!
Another set of calls I have to make in the morning, then. Gotta include McKinney. She needs a SERIOUS "Attagirl!" Serious! It is VITAL that the word "IMPEACHMENT" come out of the closet. It must be said, read, and spread. It must be IN THE AIR. It must be flowing from the bathroom faucets in the Capitol Building. It must come seeping out of the woodwork like left-over sap. It must hang in the air and stick to the carpets and draperies like stale cigar smoke.

It must NO LONGER be that hidden truth that no one dares to speak.

Here's something else I thought might be an interesting idea:

WHICHEVER SENATORS I call, I mention this, too. And quickly, I add that "yes - I know the Senate doesn't do IMPEACHMENT. HOWEVER, your boss (Senator Whomever) has friends in the House. You and the rest of your boss's staff have friends among the staffers in the House offices. Whenever you're in line at the cafeteria, or waiting for the elevator, or in the rest rooms or anywhere else with 'em, PLANT THIS SEED. GET IT STARTED. And tell them that it's what you're hearing from your constituents.

I called Mary Landrieu's office earlier today and did that. The young man I spoke to sounded more and more intrigued the longer I talked. I said those things to him, and he seemed interested. AND encouraged. FURTHERMORE: I said Landrieu ought to hold a press conference or some sort of public informational - IN WHICH SHE MENTIONS THIS. This needs to be done in the spirit of "I'm just saying..." That way she, in effect, urge IMPEACHMENT without actually urging it. Keeps her fingerprints off of it and gives her deniability - "Hey, folks, I'm JUST SAYING..."

Sometimes you have to lead them to water, help hold their head down, open their mouths, and whisper instructions into their ears while they're drinking.

We HAVE TO GET THE CONCEPT OF "IMPEACHMENT" OUT OF THE CLOSET AND ONTO THE MAIN FLOOR. AND INTO EVERYONE'S LIVING ROOMS.

12. Thank you Ms. McKinney for using the I word. A message
Thank you Ms. McKinney for using the "I" word – IMPEACHMENT! I want Bush impeached. In my opinion, this is the 64 million dollar question? This Government of ours can try to impeach a President who has a great economy going, he’s keeping us safe, he’s working for the majority of the people, he IS competent and intelligent, fast on his feet in times of need, and can actually, as President, hold a conversation (including receiving questions from OPPONENTS and answering them) because of a personal matter like a sexual indiscretion? Oh, no wait, the deal was that Clinton lied. Hmm. NOONE DIED WHEN CLINTON LIED! However, when Bush fails us in such a colossal and public way (which is apparently obvious to everyone but Bush and those working for him) he is not to be removed from office? That said, if that turns out to be true, then our Federal Government has ceased to function. I mean some of us have doubted for some time that this administration was functional but it will be so incredibly, blatantly obvious to everyone that it is no longer working. I am outraged. I watched all last week as Bush failed not only to act like a President but to act like a human being. I saw him laughing, smiling, joking about drinking too much, patting people on the back for “doing a heck of a job.” WHAT? I DID NOT see was any sense of urgency in his actions; in fact, I saw no action. I saw no concern. I saw no “Compassion” from that “Conservative.” I saw no angst! I was more disturbed than the Bush was. Then, I hear that he asked Nancy Pelosi, “what didn’t go right?” That is shocking and frightening to me. I have a whole list of what didn’t go right. Nancy Pelosi is correct in saying that Bush is DANGEROUS. Furthermore, in my opinion, the Federal Government is criminally negligent for failing to 1) secure the safety of American people in distress; and 2) not following the law, the one they themselves put in place. The way I see it, Bush has blood on his hands and anyone who stands with him does too. Americans died from lack of water and medical care while others suffered in the chaos that ensued and NONE of it was necessary. God help anyone who can call that man-made disaster of a response “adequate.” Not to mention that now, as the fourth anniversary of 9-11 approaches, the administration who has bragged for years that they are the “only ones who can keep us safe here at home from any threat any time any where” FAILED! GOP Party loyalty seems loyal unto death, not their own deaths mind you, but the deaths of innocent others. IT IS INEXCUSEABLE!
