Let’s Go Bowling
Quick snapshot of this moment in time:
The Scooter pin is clearly down. The DeLay pin is wobbling next to the gutter. The Rove pin is sitting marginally in the path of the ball. It might get knocked down by other flying pins if it doesn’t get hit directly. We might be in for a spare on a 7-10 split with the Bush and Cheney pins stradling a poorly polished lane of American justice.
The odds of that spare happening are slim of course, but you can always dream. Regardles, you should make plans. Here’s a plan:
- Drop seeds of public support for impeachment, makeing the idea popular.
- Democrats get their shit together and take control of the House and Senate in 2006, making impeachment possible.
- Space Aliens (or scandals) take out all of the following, according to this to-do list:
Vice President (Richard B. Cheney)
Speaker of the House of Representatives (J. Dennis Hastert)
President pro tempore of the Senate (Ted Stevens)
Secretary of State (Condoleezza Rice)
Secretary of the Treasury (John W. Snow)
Secretary of Defense (Donald H. Rumsfeld)
Attorney General (Alberto Gonzales)
