"The importance of timely action in terminating the Bush-Cheney administration is brushed aside as ... crazy"

it's far from crazy, and, for anyone with a clear-thinking head on their shoulders, it's the single most important issue the united states has ever faced... i'm glad robert parry has the huevos to step out and say what desperately needs to be said...

If one were simply considering what was “good for the country,” a reasonable idea might be to arrange a choreographed Agnew-Nixon pas de deux, with Cheney stepping down first (as Vice President Spiro Agnew did in 1973), a replacement vice president quickly getting approved, and then Bush bowing out (as President Richard Nixon did in 1974).

Since Virginia’s 80-year-old Republican Sen. John Warner has just announced he is leaving the Senate, he might make an excellent candidate for “caretaker” president, someone who could finish up Bush’s term and implement a bipartisan strategy for extricating U.S. forces from the Iraqi quagmire.

[...]

In a nation that cared more about its soldiers and its long-term interests, the news shows and the political class would be exploring how these present-and-future disasters might be averted or reversed, how Bush and Cheney could be presented with “an offer they can’t refuse,” either resign or face the humiliation of bipartisan impeachment.

But the United States, circa 2007, doesn’t appear capable of acting expeditiously on behalf of its citizens or its national interests.

The importance of timely action in terminating the Bush-Cheney administration is brushed aside as unworthy of discussion, impossible, crazy. It is far simpler to condemn Larry Craig for his stall-to-stall footsie with a plainclothes cop than to hold Bush and Cheney accountable for an illegal war and a variety of other high crimes and misdemeanors.

So the drift toward the precipice continues with almost no one taking note of the chasm below.

god willing, some of those who REALLY have the good of the country at heart will step forward and tell 'em they gotta go...
