Impeach the Motherfucker Already!

Submitted by Shal

Edited by Shal

Dan Savage, writer of the weekly sex column Savage Love, has some experience with coining terms. He and his loyal readers are responsible for the widespread use of the terms "pegging" (the act of a woman fucking her man with a strap-on), "santorum" (as he puts it, "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex," named after anti-gay senator Rick Santorum), and the acronym "DTMFA" ("dump the motherfucker, already" -- advice frequently given in his column).

Dan's got a new term he's trying to get people using: "ITMFA," which is short for "Impeach the motherfucker, already!"

I approached the idea cautiously. While Savage Love readers have successfully popularized two terms— pegging and santorum—I was apprehensive about ITMFA. Did the world need another anti-Bush slogan? Did we need another anti-Bush website? Instead of launching the campaign, I punted, asking my readers what they thought.

Well, they thought we should go for it—and my readers are usually right about this stuff.



The website at impeachthemotherfuckeralready.com is still in its early stages, but Savage is asking supporters to make their own "ITMFA" buttons and tshirts and send in pictures to be displayed. He also plans to link to any interesting news or websites that discuss impeaching President Bush.

I wish him luck in getting the phrase -- and the sentiment behind it -- into the realm of public discourse.

Funny, just a couple of years ago, you would have loved Dan Savage.

Here, read this. This was a column he wrote in 2002: Say "YES" to War on Iraq, Liberals Against Liberation.

People on your side loved Savage because here he was, an openly gay sex columnist, promoting the liberation argument for the Iraq War.

But I guess now he's just another crazed Bush-hating liberal, eh? It couldn't have anything to do with the deeply criminal incompetence of the Bush administration. He just "hates Bush"™!



It's just all so boring and predictable.

"Impeach Bush!", "Bush lied!" blah blah blah

this is not news, it's a stuck record...

and besides - the cunt will be out of office within two years anyway!

now what WOULD be news (in this milieu) is if someone had the foresight to launch an "Impeach President Rice" campaign

you know - get it in early - get a head start on the other Lib bots

Oh, it already did - somewhere around the last time he accused everyone who disagrees with him of being anti-semites.

DTAIST!

PRONOUNCED DEE TASTE OR JUST D'TASTE

LIKE "OH D'TASTE OF IT IS DELICIOUS.

"drown them all in Santorum TONIGHT"

Bush didn't come by his lonesome self as any protester as far back (or farther) as Harriet Tubman.
I must be thinking of the huge tubs we'll need for all of them
"keeping america safe" - from things like our own bodies and minds.

peace out.

"Pegging" is in widespread use? Where? I thing some one is using the term "widespread" a little loosely. That's it from the word police.


Women fucking men in the ass with a strap-on isn't all that widespread either, though.



Check out the Anal Sex group lately?

I am certain those articles of impeachment are coming any day now. Just like the draft.


The top thread in the Anal Sex group right now is about pegging, and people are, in fact, calling it pegging. So yes, people use the word pegging all the time, when said term is situation-appropriate.


But it is still not "widespread".

He's committed a variety of potentially impeachable offenses, but the latest and probably most viable is the whole "illegal warrantless wiretapping" bit.

If you can get impeached for getting a hummer in the Oval Office, surely to God you can be impeached for the shit Bush has done.

I mean, Nixon's somewhere now saying "Damn, is that guy abusing the powers of the presidency."



Exactly!

i love when you people say that... he didn't get impeached for the hummer, he got impeached for lying under oath.

that's perjury.. you know, a crime.

make whatever argument you like about Bush, that's not what i am disputing. but minimizing what Clinton did makes you look like a hypocrite, and tarnishes the Bush argument,.

ok, so people will use the whole "Clinton's lies didn't get anyone killed", ok, if Bush is proven to have "lied" about Iraq. but it he just believed what ever other person (rep or dem) did, then he was just misled like all the rest of them, and us.

that aside, would it be ok then, to lie as ling as it didn't hurt anyone? like to get a tax cut, or funding of some kind? or whatever... just as long no one gets killed it's not really the crime of perjury?


pick a stance, can a president lie to the American people or can't he?

which is it?

exactly, you can't impeach him for acting on the information he had (that everyone else believed too. or for the wiretaping, because, though "loophole-ish" is was legal, not to mention the fact that we should have been doing it long ago.

is one actual PROVEN thing to impeach him for?

noit, "he's a stupid motherfucker", or "it's 1984", but real, non-propaganda, facts.

He ordered wiretapping that fell under the FISA courts by bypassing the courts. Justified or not, he broke the law, and even confessed to doing it. Impeachable offense.
