The only thing more bizarre than the DUmmie THREAD featured in the DUmmie FUnnies this morning where the DUmmies fantasized about a reality-challenged scenario where Bush gets chimpeached is this DUmmie THREAD titled, "The post impeachment administration: Powell-Gore?" As you might have surmised from the title, the DUmmies are already assuming the fantasy of a chimpeachment and are now planning on the makeup of the post-chimpeachment administration. Colin Powell isn't even in government any more but that small fact doesn't seem to interfere with the DUmmie fantasy as you shall see. Even more bizarre is that Powell would somehow choose Al Gore to be his vice-president. But wait, DUmmies! Why stop there? I mean since we are in your Alternate Reality, wouldn't Powell say to himself that Gore was really elected in 2000 and then meekly step aside and let Gore take over the presidency? As usual, the DUmmie Fantasies being channeled from the Alternate Universe are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, envisioning my own Alternate Reality of Petra Verkaik and Salma Hayek battling it out in a hotel room over who gets first dibs at my body, is in the [brackets]:
The post impeachment administration: Powell-Gore?
[Or Tooth Fairy-Kucinich?]
I believe that if the Democrats take the House after the mid term congressional elections, there will be an impeachment. Moreover, the Democratic majority will give cover to disgruntled Republicans to join the impeachment effort.
[How kind of you to give cover to the disgruntled Republicans of the Alternate Universe.]
However, we have to keep in mind that it is almost a certainty that impeachment will not change Republican party control of the executive branch. This is because the outgoing president will control the appointment of a vice president.
[Damn that Constitution!]
As during the Nixon administration, once Congress decides that impeachment is a real possibility, they will first have to force out a corrupt vice president -- then Agnew, today Cheney. It is inconceivable that Congress would impeach Bush, but allow the author and instigator of most of his crimes, Cheney, to assume the presidency.
[And don't forget Denny Hastert. We must get rid of him too! Plus everybody down to about the 145th level of succession.]
This raises an important question for Democrats: Who will be the post impeachment president and vice president?
[Why ask the Democrats? They have NO input as to the post chimpeachment president and vice president.]
Almost all the Republicans in the administration and the Senate are simply too tainted either by the crimes of the administration or corruption in Congress. Both parties' leaders will be trying to clean house, signal a move by the Republicans from the extreme fringe right policy positions and send a message to the international community that the US is ready to return to the "reality based" international community -- all in the same appointment.
[Your use of the term "reality based" already has me doubling up in laughter.]
Frankly, the only viable Republicans are John McCain and Colin Powell, and given the international crisis that Bush has created, Powell is the far more likely candidate.
[Thanx for just killing McCain's primary election chances in '08. Any "Republican" considered "viable" by the DUmmies needs to be prevented from getting the presidential nomination by REAL Republicans.]
At this point, however, because of the unprecedented fiscal, military and international challenges the federal government will face, Democrats need to insist on some kind of "government of national unity" -- in other words, the appointment of a Democratic vice president. The only Democrat with the stature to be vice president under those circumstances is Al Gore, both because of his experience as vice president and because he actually won the popular vote in 2000.
[This fantasy scenario will only happen with the proper astological alignment. Namely Uranus must be aligned in front of your face.]
You may disagree with this analysis and proposed administration, but I hope you'll agree that it's time for progressive Democrats to look ahead and begin planning for the post-Bush administration.
[How about the more modest goal of planning for your institutionalization, DUmmie HamdenRice ? And now on to the other DUmmie comments...]
powell is an asshole solidly in the bush pocket and the world knows he is a liar who likes to advance his own interests ... existing patriotic feelings in powell? NONE! so, why get rid of an asshole to put in place another asshole? sorry for the foul language. i have no other way to express my utter contempt for powell.
[Nice to see you get all worked up over a fantasy that WON'T be happening in this Reality.]
I don't disagree at all ... but the point is, that the Republicans will control the successor to Bush-Cheney. Powell lied about the war, but he has bee furiously apologizing and leaking his embarrassment ever since he left office. Surely you can see he is positioning himself for the succession?
[Yeah. Powell has nothing better to do with his time than planning for a DUmmie Fantasy scenario that WON'T be happening.]
republicans would never vote for GORE and on principle GORE should not stand with any republican in a ticket nor take second place to it. he would be another asshole if he, for a second time, would willingly accommodate the assholes.
[How noble of Gore to turn down a position that WON'T be offered to him.]
After all this national trauma, would you prefer .... Powell-McCain? Or Powell-Santorum? If we are going to control a post-Bush administration, I think we need someone in at a very high level.
[Powell-Energizer Bunny?]
i am not dreamin' republicans are not going to let go of power and control and without the bush machine to act as their backbone...neither sanctoroom nor mackane have the charisma to do what bush has done...unless they are using diebold machines, i have the feeling that even with those two running the country, much of democracy would return to these shores. although, i may be totally wrong.
[Or totally deluded for extending even the least bit of credibility to this thread.]
The succession to the presidency is defined...I don't think your scenario accounts for the fact that the Constitution was amended to provide a clearly defined succession of the Presidency. How is your scenario going to get around the 25 amendment?
[By leaning back, closing his eyes, and clicking his heels together three times while wishing real hard.]
I guess the OP thinks it would go like this: Dubya is impeached and removed from office. Cheney becomes President and appoints a VP, say, Powell Cheney is then impeached and removed from office. Powell becomes President and appoints a new VP.
[Tinkerbell?]
However, Bush will not be removed by the impeachment process. That is just a pipe dream.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
So who will be the post-Bush prez if not Powell?
[ET]
IPA is India Pale Ale.
Unless he is really desperate then it could be IsoPropyl Alcohol.
He's been waiting his entire life for this moment! After all, how often does a guy get to dress up like Judge Smails's niece, Lacy Underall, and say, "Would you like to tie me up with some of your ties, Ty?"
I was the governor of a small Midwestern state. I had heard these stories, but I never thought they could ever happen to me.
I stayed late in my office one Friday night, when there was a knock at the door. When I opened it I saw two of the most
The only way I this could happen is if WP had a tape recorder in his pocket, or is FEMALE! Lord knows WOMEN NEVER forget ANYTHING.....
My guess is that Pitt was preaching his leftist spiel to this bouncer and the bouncer politely humored him by nodding his head up and down which Pitt interpreted to mean total agreement supplemented later by EXTENSIVE DETAILED quotes
Ty's nodding is "bouncer" for "Get away, kid. You bother me." (Most effective if done with a W.C Fields voice...)
I would love if some enterprising reporter from the Boston Herald tracked down this Ty guy for verification.
Now THAT'S funny! Someone in the media ACTUALLY taking time to VERIFY a story.....
I'm sure Ty wouldn't be hard to find since I don't expect there are many large bar bouncers originally from New Orleans named "Ty" in Boston.
If "Ty" is his real name..... He probably told moonbat Pitt that just to be rid of the blathering idiot....
Mine too, but I sure would miss him as my Senator....He was a fine governor to boot, much better than the one we have now, and the replacement we'll be getting in January....
Alcoholic or not, I's say some of him is "pickled", and it isn't his liver....
Nope, send it "Restricted". Only the person the letter is addressed to can sign for it if it's "restricted". Anybody at the address can sign for "registered" or "certified" letters.
Might want to send it "return receipt requested", just to make sure he got it.....
I guess it all comes down to what the definition of "is" is......
I love this DUFU!
Lol. Maybe Christopher Parker got married and he is now known as Lucy Ramerez? Never know with some of those blue staters.
Sounds good to me. One last thing that should be added is a nice picture of ole windbag kissing his boyfriends.
HAHAHAHAHA
He can remember an entire conversation but can't remember who he talked to correctly, and DON'T YOU DARE ASK OR PM him for the name!!!! Lmao
Anyway, it sounds like you asked him for a podcast. lmao. And again he ends it talking about Ty being a liver eating rube of sorts. I would send that post to him too.

28. We have his number
I just don't want this thread to get locked for a) calling someone out, or b) talking about a banned member.
Looky here - starting to throw out those subtle empty threats. Heck, Will's daddy is losing power in Alabama so he can't go running to him to beat up these mean people that called him a liar.
This is too embarrassing, even for DU. Can't believe they let a thread this whacked stay up. I am cringing. CRINGING. LOL
I'm confused by the turn in events. Didn't Will dare anyone to prove the story wrong? For 10K? Wouldn't that involve tracking down Ty?
You are definately not confused. Will just keeps changing the story and his tune. The Ding Dongs over there never know the difference like when Will killed one of his friends but later rewrote the story to make himself look like a hero. The dummies didn't know the difference from one day to the next.
And he calls his recollection of the conversation an ESSAY at one point. Well, which is it? Truth or Fiction?
The ants are stirred! Way to go, Peej!
' You have a link to this? I didn't hear about that piece of Pitt fiction yet.

Just historical perspective.
IPA = India Pale Ale. Brewed with an excessive amount of hops to help preserve it for the long boat trip from the colonies to India. It is an "American original" recipe.
Taste is quite clean and very bright. The "hoppy-ness" makes it both a good thirst quencher (after a dusty softball game!) and excellent with chicken and fish.
