Working today, I followed TDL’s comments on what needs to be done for healthcare via Limbaugh, and then when I got home, I read the speech, saw the photo-op with the creepy white-coats standing behind him, and it occurred to me that, in spite of the misinterpreted bill of health TDL was given (it was recommended that “continued moderation of alcohol” be employed, not “moderation of alcohol,” implying TDL is drinking too much) he is either a drunk, or a dry drunk, or an addict of some sort.

Why do I say this? One of the first signs of addiction is the rationalization of negative events that seem to compound in the throes of said addiction. Alcoholics (or gambling addicts, or sex addicts, et cetera) will outwardly blame their problems on anything but alcohol. They’ll blame their fiscal ills on the economy, the POTUS, their boss, their screeching wife or their whiny children. They’ll blame their relationship problems on the other person not understanding them. They’ll blame anything and everything – including their mental illness, their abuse at the hands of a parent when they were a child, their barking dog – for their problems, but they damn sure won’t blame alcohol.

Reasonable drunks and any sane, sober human being, can point it out to them in a second, and they too will get blamed.

I might consider TDL a buffoon, a phony and a flim-flam man, but when the rubber meets the road, he is addicted to getting any progressive notion/concept/ideal/idea/theory of healthcare passed. He has not only staked his inevitable one-term Presidency on it, he has staked the future of Donkey party. The American people have spent the last seven months screaming at its representatives that WE DO NOT WANT THIS, and yet, we are less than a month away from getting it, and nothing me and you and everyone we know can do a damn thing about it.

Whatever monstrous bill the Donkeys, urged on by TDL (who conveniently isn’t up for re-election in ’10) passes will include federal dollars for abortion, it will include more federal dollars for coverage of illegal immigrants, it will include rationing starting in ’14, it will include the Palinian death panels, it will include everything every left-wing nut has dreamed of for the last 60 years, up to and including the rationalization for the sterilization of the opposition.

So, here’s my solution, if the endgame of passage is inevitable.

I didn’t come to this over a period of days or weeks, I came to it while talking to my parents this afternoon in their living room. At first the conversation was normal, and then I began – as I tend to do – rolling. With a mixture of pride and horror, my parents watched as I unveiled a 10-minute diatribe about TDL’s biography, Sarah Palin’s negotiations with the CEO’s of oil companies regarding increasing the tax on their activities in Alaska, and yes, what we can do to reverse the tide that is now about to drown the American public in an unwanted, unfunded mandate to cover every last Donkey constituent perpetually, because that is what this bill is.

The plan: we push for a full-scale electoral overhaul/political bloodbath (not involving actually blood, of course) of Congress. We get at least 67 Conservative Republicans into the Senate, and we get at least 300 Conservative Republicans and Independents in the House, and adopting a notorious Slim Pickens quote from Blazing Saddles, we impeach the shit out of them.

While the current Speaker of the House and the current Senate Majority Leader (arguably) cannot be impeached, The POTUS, Veep, and any POTUS nominee can be. Per Article 2.5 of z’Constitution states that the House has the power of impeachment by simple majority, and 3.6 dictates that the trial is held in the Senate, overseen by the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, and 2/3 (67 votes assuming a full house) necessary to convict.

[I’m not a lawyer, clearly, but it should be noted that in any impeachment of any officer – and there has been one Senator impeached – of the Executive Branch is overseen by the Vice President; in the event the Veep is impeached, it’s understood that the Senate President Pro Tempore would oversee the event. –CBK]

What would be the grounds? How about bribery, for starters? Aside from Pres. Obama suddenly nominating the brother of a swing vote to the Federal bench, let’s not forget the technical bribes of the so-called Louisiana Purchase, Cornhusker Bailout, etc.

How likely is this to happen? Not very. However, listening to talk radio all day and hearing people say “whatever will we do?” I say, well, go to the *$*^#&*#%ing Constitution!” When the overwhelming bulk of the people is against what its leaders are doing, you not only throw the bums out, you do it with style.

It’s a travesty to even be writing about this. When TDL spoke today, he didn’t say the word “reconciliation” one time (yeah, I’m sure you read that on the ‘tubes too). Not once. He is standing on high in front of the white coats ordering a relatively obscure Senate maneuver intended to reconcile the budget, and yet he dare not speak its name.

He is a wicked, wicked little man. He’ll get his bill (possibly), but his party will pay for it dearly.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you think the outrageous and outraged right, the angry tea party types and other such humdrum so considered with scorn are mad now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Note to The Dear Leader: the time for blaming Bush is over – in 10 months, you’ll get to blame obstructionist GOPers. Hope you do – I look forward to see that upwardly raised chin after you become the first POTUS to lose all 50 states in ’12. GOPers – screw this up, and you’re going down with TDL. –z’King
