Former Senator and Democratic Presidential Nominee George McGovern wrote a rambling Op-Ed in Sunday’s Washington Post calling for a Bush/Cheney impeachment.
McGovern goes on a nonsensical tirade throughout the article, alleging a whole host of supposed crimes committed by the President and Vice President.
Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly “high crimes and misdemeanors,” to use the constitutional standard.
It looks like McGovern basically used far-left websites as his guidebook for the piece. He even repeats some of Rosie O’Donnell’s bogus civilian casualty numbers for Iraq.
The man is 85 years old and like Jimmy Carter, he may not be in control of all his faculties. Therefore, if someone close to McGovern will simply tell the old codger to pipe-down, we’ll just pretend this never happened and move on.
