Bush: My message was that we believe strongly in elections and that you ought to have elections soon and you need to take off your uniform.

Democracy equals elections people. That's all there is to it. It's so simple.

Yes, bush is dumb, but I don't exactly see what the point of point of passing this around, Pakistan has a different constitution then the U.S. Bush isn't both the President and a member of the military, he's a civilian leader.

Oh, you can do it, George. Heck, you have been doing it for the past seven or so years.

What you meant to say is that you can't do it effectively.

Good to know tepidmonkey, because I was being oh so sarcastic.

Bush is apparently less popular than Nixon was before he got impeached. Go Gallup Go.

What I don't understand is how he doesn't explode in laughter onstage. You gotta admire his self control sometimes.

Nixon wasn't impeached, chunking.

He was impeached, but not removed from office.

While all you nancies were sitting in civics classes learning about the separation of powers, our leader was practicing how to rule. Standing in front of the mirror, working on his sneer. Getting used to the adrenalin rush that comes with a good line of blow. Mocking and berating subordinates. All secure in the knowledge that he would, one day, rule without a uniform.

And his military would be safe in the hands of his vice-president.

Nixon resigned before the House voted on articles of impeachment.

Bush is not head of the Joint Chiefs and does not hold the rank of General.

No he wasn't, delmoi.

You know what would be good? It would be good if Bush would put pressure on Musharraf to stop his autocratic antidemocratic behavior.

Oh, Bush is doing that finally? Well, that's a good thing.

What is this post about again?

The only Presidents ever to have been impeached were Andrew Johnson (1867) and Bill Clinton (1998), both of whom were acquitted in their Senate trials.
