Bush is bad news and Cheney is even worse. That isn't earth-shattering to anyone really, but a certain addition to the chorus has made the wires. The National Coalition of American Nuns has voiced their opposition to the President and his VP for their high crimes and misdemeanors. They want them gone as badly as the rest of us.
From The Winston-Salem Journal:
A progressive group of U.S. nuns has called on Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney because of their roles in the war in Iraq.
“The National Coalition of American Nuns is impelled by conscience to call you to act promptly to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for ... high crimes and misdemeanors,” the group wrote in a letter written on behalf of its board members.
The letter says that impeachment is warranted for their “deceiving the public under the false pretense that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction” and “destroying” the reputation of the United States and the good will of other nations.
That is a good start, but there are oh so many good reasons to kick them to the curb. Those women in habits know what they are talking about. When people of the cloth feel the need to speak up.....well, we all know it is time for Congress to do the right thing. But will they? For now politics rules over principle.
