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]
Is that you, Jonathan Alter?
Kucinich-Flyarm.
IF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOBBA GOBBA DOBBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say hello to President Kevin Bacon.
Hey !
Isn't the post-impeachment administration Bush-Cheney?
Yes, old "Strawberries" McCaine, that model of calm, cool stability. . . .
Joe Lieberman.
If you go to CU, I believe they found a thread where Will The Pitt insists that he didn't make it up. Oh, and the correct name for a story where a DUmmie educates a freeper is a "Bouncy Ball Story", after the queen of absurd stories.
. . . . . . . . "Come together . . . right now . . . over me."
Algore's version of hell: Having to serve as Vice-President AGAIN!
OK, I think I will.
EXACTLY! That was the dead giveaway on this fraud. NOBODY can remember conversations that precisely to give detailed quotes later. 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. I would love if some enterprising reporter from the Boston Herald tracked down this Ty guy for verification. 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.
McCain-Gore:
Just be like Jonathan Alter and live in your Alter-nate Reality.
Well, it would be easy enough to check out this story in Boston. I'm sure most of the bar bouncers know each other. A check at about a half dozen bars with bouncers should yield the answer. Even if Ty doesn't work at the bars that are checked, I'm sure at least one of the bouncers would know of a Ty from that description that Pitt gave. I am giving Pitt the benefit of the doubt that Ty does exist but there is NO WAY that Pitt could come up with those DETAILED quotes after the event. Most likely Ty was just humoring an annoying customer and just nodding his head up and down hoping Pitt would just walk away.
In any event, I sure do hope Ty can be tracked down. Somehow I don't think he would be too happy with Pitt invoking his name and making up quotes in order to advance the looney left agenda.
Or Zell Miller.
Of Pied Piper Pitt!
Edit:
I hope you'll agree that it's time for obsessive Democrats to look up their behinds
I just clicked your DUmmie link but got a NOT FOUND message.
