They’re At It Again

Look, I think Bush will go down in history as one of the worst presidents this side of Herbert Hoover and James Buchanan, and I can’t wait to see the man leave the White House. But any attempt to drag the country through an impeachment process at this late date, and during a presidential election year no less, is simply ludicrous. In fact, it borders on crazy.
But that’s not the funny part. The funny part is that the County Board would even consider spending the time to debate the resolution, especially since there are a lot of frustrated taxpayers in Westchester who would like to see THEM thrown out on their ear.
This is precisely the kind of issue that county government has no business getting into…at least not on the taxpayers’ dime. If a county legislator truly wants to set the slow-working gears of the U.S. Constitution in motion to put Bush on trial with one year left in his term, then he or she ought to simply write a letter to their congressional respresentative just like anybody else.
A formal resolution? Give us a break…it’s just pandering.

I seriously and respectfully submit that the county board should mobilize their combined intelligence and acumen and direct that considerable brilliance to something that they might be able to accomplish. Fix the damned potholes!
