Same way you impeach a judge. Find him accusable of impeachable offenses, being less than erudite doesn't count, and then have Congress have at 'em! A little sexual innuendo would help. Perhaps something could be arranged while he is abroad. Dr. M. could be consulted. Course if he beats the rap he's a shoe-in prime candidate for Prez next goround, assuming Bill doesn't invoke some obscure executive order overruling the Constitutionality of 2 term limits.

Ramsey, The Malaysians have applied the term "kurang ajar" to describe Al Gore. This loosely translates as "lack of [cultural] education", and is typically applied in the Malay speaking countries to describe someone with boorish, or no manners. Asians have long memories, and I fear that if Al ever ascends to the presidency, Asians will be somewhat hesitant about inviting him to speak publicly, unless of course, by that time, true democracies become the norm in the Region (one can still wish, eh?) Best, Steve

G'day all - dear Ramsey, embarrassed to say, I like what he [Vp Al] did at APEC. Enough of the so-called cultural mannerism which amounts to "dead chicken holding up the rice cooker top!" <vbg> In the US, we get away with criticizing the Veep - and attempts to impeach the Prez even. In Indonesia, I do agree with Steve that you got to run fast if the mob knew you were chinese. Anyway, maybe I am too used to the luxury of this country to speak my mind <vbsg>. best, Bosco
