Ratfarked 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern has written a damning op-ed in the Washington Post on why he believes President Bush and Vice President Cheney should get the boot.
"I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president," McGovern writes. "From the beginning, the Bush-Cheney team's assumption of power was the product of questionable elections that probably should have been officially challenged -- perhaps even by a congressional investigation."
Substantiating his assertion that Bush and Cheney are impeachable, McGovern says they are "clearly guilty" of numerous offenses. "They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world.
"These," argues McGovern, "are truly 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'"
The retired senator joins a growing list of prominent names calling for the impeachment of Bush and/or Cheney, including Gore Vidal, Bill Maher, Sean Penn, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, and Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL).
