Wow. Slate also gave 'Sicko' a (somewhat) positive review. If real Conservatives are starting to come back from the brink of ruin to which the GOP has brought them, peace may break out!

Somebody imprison this man immediately.

That's what Andrew Sullivan (from whom I got that link) thinks too: forget impeachment; let's talk about criminal prosecution for his many and vast violations of American and international law.

In Oregon, a battleground state that the Bush-Cheney ticket had lost by less than half of 1 percent, drought-stricken farmers and ranchers were about to be cut off from the irrigation water that kept their cropland and pastures green. Federal biologists said the Endangered Species Act left the government no choice: The survival of two imperiled species of fish was at stake.

Law and science seemed to be on the side of the fish. Then the vice president stepped in.

First Cheney looked for a way around the law, aides said. Next he set in motion a process to challenge the science protecting the fish, according to a former Oregon congressman who lobbied for the farmers.

Because of Cheney's intervention, the government reversed itself and let the water flow in time to save the 2002 growing season, declaring that there was no threat to the fish. What followed was the largest fish kill the West had ever seen, with tens of thousands of salmon rotting on the banks of the Klamath River.

If it matters to Oregonians, it's in the Washington Post.

Y'know...I've been saying this for at least five, if not six years, now. It's nice to hear somebody else actually say it.

I think he should be tried for treason (along with that sockpuppet of his they keep calling "Mr. President") and then handed over to Interpol to be taken to the international court in The Hague to stand trial for 'crimes against humanity.'

It would be deliciously ironic if Bush was to be tried here after he threatened to invade us if any US troops were ever to be tried in The Hague.

However...

Dream on

Yeah! I can dream, can't I?

He may have to be delievered via "extraordinary rendition", but that would just be an irony overdose.
