Yoo: Impeach Bush? Why Not?
By Paul Kiel - May 13, 2008, 5:54PM

But I will say this: I wasn't in favor of impeachment. I don't think what Clinton did rose to the level of what impeachment is really for. I think if people in Congress wanted to impeach President Bush they could, not because he committed a crime but because they think he's a bad president.

That was the phrase <"high crimes and misdemeanors"> that came from Britain, and the British used to, under that phrase, remove people just because they screwed up a war.

There are great examples. Allegedly these were the same standards of impeachments when they impeached a minister because the British suffered a setback in the war with the Dutch. It wasn't a crime, but you were a bad leader. But it has to be something of significance to the state. Clinton, what he did didn't seem to rise to that level.

1. ''Screwed up a war"? The guy lied to START a war.

Impeachment should be the least of the little turd from Crawford's worries.

Indictment, trial and conviction on charges of treason should be what keeps him up at night.

2. Don't forget the war crimes and the crimes against humanity.

That would include well over 100,000 counts of murder in the first degree.

3. As it well should! :)

I hope he never gets another decent period of sleep for the rest of his miserable ass life! And I'll put that in Voodoo!
