Thinking past the first step?

March 20th, 2006 by Saru		 Saru

During one of my walks over the weekend, passing through Dupont Circle I stumbled across a sleeply 3rd year anniversary protest of the War in Iraq. It had all the common characteristics of such protests: bad poetry slams by wanna-be Jello Biafras, lots of people in need of a bath, a heaping helping of ill-conceived self-righteousness, Lyndon Larouche zombies, and more stupid signs than I could count.

I didn’t have my camera with me, so I had to search the web for something similar, and I think this does the trick, well illustrating one of the most foolish signs I saw that afternoon:

I wonder if these people are actually thinking about what they’re asking for. I say America sould give them their wish. Impeach Bush; bring on President Cheney!

      Cheney’s heart would pop. We’d end up with President Hastert.

      What if we impeach Cheney first? Then Bush can appoint Katherine Harris as vice president…

      “Impeach Cheney First” has been Avedon Carol’s constant reminder for months now. We’re idealists, not idiots.

      If a Bush impeachment and removal were to actually succeed at trial and the public’s general impression were that he deserved to be removed, I think a Cheney presidency would be seen at best as a caretaker administration and people would be hoping for a competent Democratic moderate, or if President Cheney chose not to run in 2008, a competent Republican moderate who seems not to have been too muddied by supporting the war.

      Nixon resigned to avoid being impeached, and that led to Ford being a caretaker president. I don’t see a Cheney presidency being in any more a position of strength at that point.

      yes but kushibo don’t you get it – left wingers STINK! They get off on their fantasies of Bush being hung by his heels, consequences be damned!

      Anyone inspired to join a “sleepy” organized protest, this post seems to imply, is already too stupid to have an informed opinion.
