Impeachable Bush

In perhaps the most impeachable offense to date, Bush has been caught illegally authorizing spying on U.S. citizens. He quickly admitted the offense as the story was breaking, knowing he had been nabbed red-handed.

But, additional news now coming out reveals that Bush attempted to stop the story from getting out.

Jonathan Alter writing in Newsweek gives us these details:

“Bush summoned Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and executive editor Bill Keller to the Oval Office in a futile attempt to talk them out of running the story. Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story—which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year—because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker.”

Alter adds: “We’re seeing clearly now that Bush thought 9/11 gave him license to act like a dictator.”
