Wow, Bush Really Is An Idiot
Tweet
President Bush made clear in a private meeting this week that he was concerned about the lack of progress in Iraq and frustrated that the new Iraqi government — and the Iraqi people — had not shown greater public support for the American mission, participants in the meeting said Tuesday.
…
“I sensed a frustration with the lack of progress on the bigger picture of Iraq generally — that we continue to lose a lot of lives, it continues to sap our budget,” said one person who attended the meeting. “The president wants the people in Iraq to get more on board to bring success.”
Yeah, I can’t figure out why the Iraqi people aren’t jumping on board to support our botched invasion and occupation of their country. 3,438 Iraqis died in the Iraqi civil war last month. Why do they not cheer us?
“The president is an idiot of the highest order.”
That should be the entire text of the impeachment documents.

He simply refuses to do his homework. That’s the recurring theme throughout his presidency: he wants to be remembered as great, but winds up getting seduced by the easy, simplistic answers of ideology. So his policies fail, and he and his followers blame it on “hate,” and none of them even understand why his policies never had a prayer of success. For a movement with so much energy, conservatives are remarkably lazy, intellectually speaking.
That should be the entire text of the impeachment documents.
Uhhhh, not guilty by reason of insanity.
Wait, can you use stupid as a defense? (outside of Arkansas, I mena?)
Well, since the majority of Americans disapprove of his bungling in Iraq & want out, he can no longer afford to blame the cut-n-runners for his failures.
Now, he can blame the Iraqis themselves. If only they’d welcomed us with open arms…
Classic addict behavior… It’s always someone else’s fault.
Has no one told him yet?
Turns out we weren’t “welcomed as liberators” after all.
It’s not just Bush, even. Out of the whole cabinet, nobody thought once we ‘liberated’ Iraq there wasn’t a possibiity they would turn against us? Anybody? I’m sure if there was a dissenting view (Colin Powell), they would have been censured (Colin Powell).

No, you’re just so damn smart!!!
Our honered, but deluded, host wrote:
With that kind of silliness at the end, you have dumped any pretensions to serious thought with this entry, Mr Willis. Sensible people know that the President is not going to be impeached over a policy disagreement, and, were teh Democrats to take control of the Congress and actually get the House to vote a Bill of Impeachment, there is just as much chance of getting the Senate to remove him from office as there was of getting the Senate to remove President Clinton in 1999.
If the Democrats won every Senate race this year, they’d have sixty seats, seven short of the number to remove the President. And if, by some miracle, you actually got that done, you’d have President Dick Cheney!
Dana, that fact that you used “teh” without any hint of sarcasm should automatically debunk your rebuttle. However, you do have a point in that the chain of command doesn’t bode well.
That bill of impeachment is sensible and accurate, but alas, not Constitutional. Back during that Nixon business my wise old father said something like this (from his sanctuary in Canada, where he eventually took citizenship): “The Founders of our nation in their wisdom set up a system in which the best and wisest men of each state would gather and select a President worthy of the office. They realized that corruption and betrayal were always possible, so they established a process for removal from office because of high crimes and misdemeanors. Their dignified minds never thought it would be necessary to add, ‘or being a cheap crook.’”
Likewise, an idiot.
Actually, a Democratic majority in either House or Senate might actially improve bush’s presidency. Where has the rubber-stamp congress gotten him? If he was forced to compromise on legislation the result would probably improve how history looks at his term. Not enogh votes to impeach him, but enough maybe to make him have to be a little more honest.
Mmmkay … so, following your logic:
FDR should have been impeached for failing to stop Pearl Harbor, for failing to equip us for war, and for the hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths during WWII (civilian and military) that occurred on his watch.
Truman should have been impeached for dropping the A-bomb and killing hundreds of thousands of helpless civilians
Eisenhower should have been impeached for allowing the Russians to beat us into space, for failing to win in Korea, and for Francis Gary Powers.
Kennedy should have been impeached for the Bay of Pigs.
LBJ should have been impeached for Viet Nam.
Carter should have been impeached over the Iranian hostage situation.
Reagan should have been impeached for aiding the Contras and for the Hezbollah attack on the Marine base in Lebanon.
Bush 41 should have been impeached for not finishing the war with Saddam Hussein.
Clinton should have been impeached for Somalia, the first WTC attack, Oklahoma City, and bombing Serbia.
Did I miss anything?
Being an idiot is not an impeachable offense. Maybe we can impeach the Supreme Court for appointing an idiot, or Republican masters of vote suppression for ensuring the re-election of an idiot, or Osama Bin Laden for his last minute tape that helped tip the election toward an idiot.
But impeach an idiot? Not so much.
It was pretty clear Oliver was joking. What’s also clear is how the mere invokation of the word “impeach” drives the resident Failure Apologists into hysterical panics. Just another data point in this trainwreck of a presidency.

Weird. In one post invocation is spelled with a K. I wonder what happened?
Actually, Bush 41 should have been impeached for much the same thing as Reagan. Not killing someone isn’t a High Crime or Misdemeanour. Nor is being President during a hostage crisis.
