Subject: Crimes Against the Constitution?

March 4, 2008 – Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures calling for the indictment of President George Weasel Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution. More symbolic than anything, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit the two towns or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere -- if they're not impeached first.

The question put to voters referred to "crimes against our Constitution" but did not specify the allegations. I could list a few – beginning with the biggie of declaring war all by himself. No matter how much you scare Congress, the Constitution does not change.

"I realize it's an extreme thing to do, and really silly in a way," said Robert George, 74, a retired photographer. "But I'm really angry about us getting involved in the war in Iraq and him (Bush) disrespecting the will of the people."

The White House press office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee denounced the indictment effort. "It appears that the left wing knows no bounds in their willingness to waste taxpayer dollars to make a futile counterproductive partisan political point," said Blair Latoff. "Town people would be much better served by elected officials who sought to solve problems rather than create them."

Well, gee, Blair, I bet you’re fun at dinner parties. [rolleyes]
