George W. Bush must be a very scared man today because the Democrats are thinking about officially calling him a bad man. Senator Russ Feingold says he will offer two censure resolutions for Bush’s handling of the Iraq war and his “assault” on the Constitution. I think we can safely assume Bush is curled up in a corner right now, crying and mumbling, “Why?,” over and over.

Censure may be the most useless thing the Senate can do.

Pretty scary, huh? To date, Andrew Jackson is the only president to have ever been censured. It occurred on March 28, 1834 and to this day it haunts his legacy. The first thing Americans think of when his name is mentioned is, “Oh, he was a bad boy.” Of course, in 1937 control of Congress switched parties and Jackson's censure was reversed. It's a powerful tool, yield it with caution!

One censure resolution would scold Bush for going to war without adequate military preparation and issuing misleading statements. (I’m actually not sure when Bush has issued a statement we can trust) The other censure resolution would chastise Bush for all of the illegal acts he has committed, like disregarding the Geneva Conventions by torturing prisoners of war, using signing statements to override congressional lawmaking authority, eavesdropping on Americans without court warrants, refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas, ordering ex-employees to not comply with Congressional subpoenas, firing federal prosecutors for political reasons, infusing media with government propaganda, placing "gatekeepers" in all federal agencies who report directly to the White House, arresting peaceful protestors and manipulating the terror alert system to instill fear in Americans.

Too bad there isn’t anything else in the constitution that deals with what to do when the president breaks the law and misleads the country into going to war. It would be really great if there were.

Feingold wanted to censure Bush back in 2006, but only three of his fellow Democrats were on board with the idea. It is doubtful he will find anyone to agree with him this time, either. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has already said he doesn’t like the idea.

Give ‘em hell, Harry! Actually, Harry, low approval ratings are not a punishment. They actually give you a mandate to go after the fucker with every weapon you have. People dislike him more than his father, which is really saying something. He should have been censured a long time ago and Congress should now be looking at more severe punishments. Like impeachment.

Would impeachment succeed? Probably not. But that’s not why it’s in the Constitution. It is the duty of Congress to impeach a president when he is acting so far outside the law. But the Democrats are a ball less crew of chickenshits. The Republicans went after Clinton when it was obvious he would not be removed from office. Why? They believed he had broken the law. Did they suffer during the next election? No, they ended up controlling all branches of government – even though the majority of Americans disagreed with their decision.

But here are the Democrats, taking no action against the most unpopular president since Nixon. Losing control of Congress is what the Democrats fear and so, they do nothing. Their lack of action against Bush is purely for political reasons. The man is a reckless, lying, religious nut. Impeachment was created for Bush. Too bad Democrats work from a position of fear and not strength.
