Olbermann's Special Comment on Iran NIE: "Bush, Pathological Liar or Idiot-in-Chief?" [VIDEO]

There are few choices more terrifying than the one Mr. Bush has left us with tonight.

A pathological presidential liar, or an idiot-in-chief. It is the nightmare scenario of political science fiction: A critical juncture in our history and, contained in either answer, a president manifestly unfit to serve, and behind him in the vice presidency an unapologetic warmonger who has long been seeing a world visible only to himself.

After spokeswoman Dana Perino’s announcement from the White House late last night, the timeline is inescapable and clear.

And as he said that, Mr. Bush knew that at bare minimum there was a strong chance that his rhetoric was nothing more than words with which to scare the Iranians.

Or was it, Sir, to scare the Americans?

You, Mr. Bush, are a bald-faced liar.

You, sir, have no business being president.

Dennis Kucinich: Standing Tall in the House as Cheney Impeachment Bill Advances

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination that the mainstream media like to ignore or belittle, stands head and shoulders above the moral midgets and shriveled sophists in that contest, especially today, after he successfully forced the full House to vote to send his bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney to a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee.

A subsequent vote to send the Kucinich Cheney impeachment bill to the Judiciary Committee passed 218-194, with three Republicans voting with 215 Democrats in favor of the measure.

But Democratic leaders have an alternative. They can recognize the growing disaster of Pelosi’s “impeachment is off the table” position—which has contributed significantly to Congress’ record-low poll ratings (now well below Bush’s)--and can turn around and get those impeachment hearings going.

The Congress shall have Power

Article I, Section 8.
"The Congress shall have Power . . .
". . .
"To define and punish . . . Offenses against the Law of Nations;"

I've been looking at my Constitution again. It was all I could do to remember what the first ten amendments were about in high school.

What is the "Government"? We have always known it to be three branches, the legislative, executive and judicial. Recently, Cheney has informed us that he isn't part of the executive branch, so there is now a Cheney branch of government too. The "signing statements" Bush attaches to every piece of legislation that he signs, that says he doesn't have to follow the law he has just signed into law, shows that Bush thinks he is above the law, so he probably thinks he is above the usual government too. That is, "the commander guy".

Read your damn Constitution! How can you rely on a document you haven't read since high school?

McDermott to Cheney: ‘Resign or face impeachment’

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) told Vice President Dick Cheney to “resign or face impeachment” Thursday night as three more House Democrats lent their support to a plan to impeach the vice president.

“The vice president holds himself above the law, and it is time for the Congress to enforce the law,” McDermott said in a floor speech. “For the good of the nation, the vice president could leave office immediately.”

McDermott was one of three House Democrats to come out in favor of impeachment Thursday, along with Reps. Keith Ellison (Minn.) and Hank Johnson (Ga.). Including the three lawmakers, seven members in June have shown new support for impeaching Cheney.
