From today’s House Judiciary Committee meeting on the impeachment of George W. Bush.
Rabkin (George Mason University School of Law professor Jeremy Rabkin and Bush apologist) said. “You should all remind yourselves that the rest of the country is not necessarily in this same bubble in which people think it is reasonable to describe the president as if he were Caligula.”
And he’s right, that’s a ridiculous comparison. Caligula wasn’t afraid of horses.
Free Don Siegelman
Okay, so Don Siegelman was the incumbent governor of Alabama. He went to bed on election night having won a narrow victory in his reelection.
But in the middle of the night, at a lone precinct in Alabama, after all the Democratic poll workers went home, some Republicans magically found thousands of new votes for the Republican in an electronic voting machine. The election was flipped.
He was warned not to rock the boat, but he proceeded to protest his stolen election. Luckily for Republicans, the wife of his opponents campaign manager was one of Bush’s special appointed federal prosecutors so Governor Don Siegelman of Alabama was charged with false crimes and actually sent to jail!
He actually was sent to jail by the wife of his opponent’s campaign manager!
This happened in America in the 21st century.
He’s out now, thanks to congress finally paying attention, but he still has enormous legal issues to be resolved thanks to Karl Rove and other friends of the Bush Administration.
