Impeach Bush

RECEIVED Fri., Jan. 9, 2009

Dear Editor,
    It is amazing to consider that the supposedly ethically challenged folks in the Illinois House of Representatives have impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich, when over in the House of Representatives of the United States of America Nancy Pelosi and John Conyers kept their heads firmly planted in their butts and refused to allow any real hearing on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. Blago's alleged crimes pale in comparison to the criminal charges Rep. Kucinich laid out against Bush. As Dick Cheney told Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation, "All actions of the administration must be legal if Congress failed to impeach the president or any member of his administration." Yeah, that's right; that's what he said. Because of their sickening lack of political will, Pelosi and Conyers have allowed our vaunted system of checks and balances to become a mere joke and have sent a signal to future occupants of the White House that crime pays. Let's all thank Pelosi and Conyers for their good work on behalf of the American people.
With warmest regards,
Billy Kirkland
