A completely foolish article

Austin Bay Blog

By Elizabeth Holtzman in The Nation. It’s titled “The Impeachment of George W. Bush.” If the first graf Ms. Holtzman tells us that she believes people have “the right” to discuss impeachment. What an aggressive, courageous statement!!!! People, she says, are talking about impeaching Bush– finally, and not in whispers!!!! Sheesh, the impeachment stickers showed up on cars in 2002. Wiretaps, torture, Nixon, subversion of democracy, Vietnam– all of the memes appear. She’s so venomous you’d think she was a Copperhead running down Lincoln in 1864. At times Holtzman’s prose reminds me a bit of the untethered screed produced by Margo Kingston, Tim Blair’s favorite [target] leftist.

Holtzman issues a plea for –get ready– “an energized public.”

<<< Mobilizing the nation and Congress in support of investigations and the impeachment of President Bush is a critical task that has already begun, but it must intensify and grow. The American people stopped the Vietnam War–against the wishes of the President–and forced a reluctant Congress to act on the impeachment of President Nixon. And they can do the same with President Bush. The task has three elements: building public and Congressional support, getting Congress to undertake investigations into various aspects of presidential misconduct and changing the party makeup of Congress in the 2006 elections.

An energized public must in turn bear down on Congress… >>>


Ms Holtzman writes: “Impeachment is a tortuous process…”

For a brief period of time flushing a Koran was torture. The Koran flushing story in Newsweek proved to be “poorly sourced.”

Ms. Holtzman’s chief source appears to be the angry daydreams of angry leftists.

Read her article, shake your head, then go do something productive.
