Bush Explains Why He And Cheney Haven't Been Impeached

According to President Bush via the BBC:
"Any government that presumes to represent the majority of people must confront criminal elements or people who think they can live outside the law - and that's what's taking place in Basra."
Now he tells us! Perhaps you thought our government "presumed to represent the majority of people", and maybe you couldn't figure out why the Democratic majority in both the House and Senate have chosen not to "confront criminal elements or people who think they can live outside the law."

But Bush explained it all ... there's no such presumption! In other words, our government doesn't even pretend to represent the majority of people, and that's why impeachment is "off the table" -- because your vote is meaningless!

At least things are going well for our friends in Iraq:
Iraq's parliament called an emergency meeting to discuss the crisis, which has also brought a three-day curfew to Baghdad.

But just 54 MPs out of 275 managed to get inside the fortified Green Zone to attend the session, because it was under fresh bombardment from mortars and rockets.
