Bush is a Criminal

No matter how much we learn, we still don't get it. Bush is a C-R-I-M-I-N-A-L. He might be an incompetent criminal, an idiot criminal, an arrogant criminal, an ignorant criminal, a stupid criminal, and so on. He might even be an ass. But it's the noun, not the modifying adjective, that really matters.

Bush has committed crimes. At some point it seems that all of our presidents commit some crime or another. I have a pretty low opinion of the morals of every president since Jimmy Carter, and Carter was no saint. But Bush's crimes are consequential. Bush's crimes wrecked the country. We could afford to overlook JFK's affairs but we couldn't afford to overlook Nixon's. The same is true of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

I understand the need for national unity and healing. Believe me, I do. But real unity and real healing can only come after we stop thinking of Bush as some hapless blunderer and pass the verdict of felon on him and his legacy.

Will it happen? All I know is that it should happen. Richard Nixon was a quarter the crook that Bush has turned out to be. And Nixon could actually run the country's affairs without bankrupting us.
