I see it is time to bring back Mark Helprin's still unanswered A Question for George W. Bush from Tuesday, August 8, 2000. Excerpt:
"Governor, in your acceptance speech you said, "I have no stake in the bitter arguments of the last few years." Is that really so? Did it merely slip by? Granted, the impeachment was stimulated by a lesser grievance than any it should have been founded upon. Nonetheless, have you no stake in making sure that a citizen outrageously brought before the governor of a state for the purpose of providing sex for him, can have her day in court? Have you no stake in the expectation that witnesses not be intimidated, evidence not be destroyed, lies not be told? Have you no stake in the assumption that the president of the United States will not perjure himself in a court of law? Have you no stake in the principle that the law applies equally to all, regardless of station? Have you no stake in checking the abuse of power? Have you no stake in ensuring that the office your father occupied with such grace not be tainted by criminality and indecency?"

Bush didn't have such a stake, but I and the rest of the people in this nation sure as hell do. What was being established was a tolerance for meglomaniacal corruption and mental instability that no nation can survive.
