All of a sudden I am reading a strong meme emerging - Holding Bush Responsible.

[Prefer]

First off, the old defenses of Bush are fading in their potency. 'He didn't know' is implausible. It is clear from the actions of this administration that they were guilty of everything and it is just plain hard to deny.

It's not just from Scotty McClellan, he is just another brick of re-enforcement in the wall. It's a matter of timing. The future is coming. Bush is soon over, one way or another.

So much of question of "where do we go from here" is intimately tied to "Well, how did we get here?". That's the issue no amount of propaganda from the state mouthpieces can really bury. And it all points to Bush. All all the people who say "it was still the right thing to do" are just sounding more and more like fools.

As we get deeper and deeper into actually paying the bill for Bush's mistakes, the loyal idiots have less and less of a leg to stand on.

1. Look For Impeachment Soon

When Nixon became a liability to Republican re-election, he was asked to leave or be pushed.

Today's Rethugs are way, way stupider than the ones we had in the early 70s, but even these clowns are beginning to figure out that Bush is a nasty rotting albatross around their party's neck.

Impeaching Bush is the worst nightmare of most elected Democrats (sure he's damaging th country, but he makes Dems look good by comparison)- but if the Rethugs make a push to impeach, the Dems will have to go along.

3. Good then if we impeach we can convict right after he's after office so no pardon.

But watch them rush it all through. They know

4. It will never happen.

As much as I am for impeachment of this asshole, there is no one who is going to hold junior responsible for his actions.

He has gone relatively unscathed these past 7.5 years and he is going to remain that way. When the time comes, he is going to leave this clusterfuck he has created for someone else to clean up and he is going to "ride off into the sunset." No one is going to challenge him and no one is going to make him answer for anything.

Hopefully, he will end up someplace where I never have to see his face again.

2. Well said.

So much of question of "where do we go from here" is intimately tied to "Well, how did we get here?".

5. Kinda reminds me of that saying..

when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
Well, the media is at that fork.

6. All it is is deflection.

The idea is that if Dumbya is held responsible for everything then when he's gone, the problems go with him.

And voila! Everything is new again!

7. I talked to a friend in a prominent position at a prominent agency...

last night and mentioned that I'd noticed that a few whistleblowers were beginning to come forward in various agencies across the federal government and it seemed, to me, that the formerly loyal were beginning to turn on the maladministration. I was rewarded with "yeah, it's kind of a feeling lately."

Just sayin'.
