Laws Are For Everyone Else
"Illegal is only getting caught." That’s what my brother always said. But I "Scooter" Libby got caught. Yet because he’s pals with Karl "Puppetmaster" Rove and Dick "Shotgun" Cheney, George "Warmonger" Bush commutes Scooter’s prison time, like the puppet he is. A shag-carpeted prison is too onerous for a millionaire White House hack convicted of perjury. Thirty months is too harsh a punishment for aiding and abetting the uncovering of a covert agent - an act that would’ve been treasonous at any other point in American history.
Above the law doesn’t cut it: Transcending the law is more accurate. Illegal wars, patronage, incompetence, violations of Geneva Conventions, suspension of Habeas Corpus, illegal surveillance of citizens, illegal purges of US Attorneys, Using US troops for corporate advantage - all in a days work. Don’t look, don’t tell. Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies. The laws are for everyone else, not me.
If you’re as sick of all this as I am, try this: the Honk To Impeach campaign is starting tomorrow, July 4th. Make a big signs that reads: "Honk to Impeach Bush" and "TEXT "IMPEACH" to 30644," bring a camera, and hang out at a busy intersection and have fun! Don’t forget to post your location on the events board.
Obviously our Democratic congress is not going to make the right move unless a huge noise is being made in the streets. Let’s make that noise! Demand action, take back our country from the multinational corporations who buy our candidates. Help reinstate Democracy! Do this because the laws are for everyone.
