Tomgram: David Swanson, The Impeachment Moment

George W. Bush is an ordinary human being, in fact a quite stupid one. So are all of his handlers. They are ordinary people, and we have the power, should we choose to use it, to throw them out of our public housing.

This simple fact is hidden from us not just by the media constantly instructing us that we can make no difference, not just by lies connecting the crimes of 9-11 to Iraq, or Iraq or Iran to weapons they do not have, and not just by the deference to power of the devoted read more
