Colbert at the White House Correspondent's Dinner

If you missed Colbert roasting our Liar-in-Chief, try to catch it at cspan.org.

After you see his ballsy performance, you'll probably want to thank him.

Gratzi to Miz MAD for tipping me to the 'Span reruns.

Thank you, Frank!

Frank Rich has returned, bringing us a column to remind us that Bush's original sin--lying about the reason to go to war with Iraq--caused most of the cascading failures that followed. (Some might argue that the original sin was the stolen 2000 election, but just roll with it.) Sadly, Rich's column is only available to select NY Times subscribers. The man performs a vital public service!

Kos diarist Lolligolli has an excerpt and a summary of Rep Hinchley's position: that, if true, the Downing Street Memo exposes all participants in the writing of the State of the Union address of 2003 as:

". . . guilty of violations of USC (Criminal Code) 18 Sections 1001 and Section 371. These are felonies and would therefore be impeachable offenses. '

There's more detail--read the whole post here: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/4/30/62023/4470

And, check out the poll at the end.

Neil Young's Powerful New Anti-War Music

This Must End

Let us join together, all Americans, Republican and Democrat, voter and non-voter, black and white, lovers and fighters to impeach the President for his many crimes, abuses of power, and flat incompetence.

  • For hijacking religion and using it to get elected
  • For dividing our country
  • For leaving Americans neglected after Katrina
  • For sitting there for seven minutes after being told our country is under attack
  • For corrupt elections, involvement in vote rigging, jamming Democrat's phones on election day, making voting machines inaccessible in left-leaning precincts on Ohio, for illegally accessing Democrat's computers
  • For the filthy gutter political tricks of "swift boating" honorable people
  • For bypassing FISA to illegally tap our phones
  • For ignoring the advice of the military leaders
  • For hiring cronies and putting them in charge of FEMA
  • For the immoral Bush Doctrine of waging pre-emptive war
  • For putting forth the proposal that the President is above the law because he is the President
  • For the widespread use and promotion of torture and abuse in Gitmo, Abu Ghraib and other American-run prisons, and for secret renditions of prisoners to countries who openly torture
  • For squandering the surplus and spending it on an elective war abroad
  • For awarding no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other shady war-profiteers
  • For the unnecessary loss of thousands of lives--the lives of people from so many countries around the world
  • For failing to pursue bin Laden and Al Zawahiri
  • For failing utterly to lead this country in a respectable humane way.

Impeach Bush and the Cheney he rode in on.

The world can't wait for the next election. They must be removed now.
