Name the Crimes?? Give Me a Break!

Another stupid letter in the Belleville paper:

Name the crimes

The clamoring for the impeachment of George Bush has gone from sublime to ridiculous. Disagreement with the president's position or policy is not cause for impeachment. That is what elections are for.

Do any of these folks know what impeachment means? To impeach is to indict, meaning to bring charges against. An indictment means there is strong evidence a crime has been committed.

According to the Constitution, the president can be impeached when evidence exists of "high crimes and misdemeanors." Can anyone name the crime for which he wants Bush impeached? Does he have any evidence? If so, please forward it to Dick "Turbin" Durbin, Harry "Pinky" Reid or Nancy Pelosi post haste. I am sure they would love nothing more than to bring down the current administration.

It appears, when they have no plan to improve a situation, the best we can expect out of Congress is to act like a bunch of kids on a playground, name-calling and finger-pointing. No wonder Congress' approval rating is lower than Bush's.

And just what list was the letter writer referring to that we should pick a crime to jail Dick Cheney for? Next time, can he include that list in his letter? I am sure we would all be fascinated to read it.
