Less start wif th' fust one: whut evidence does yo' haf thet Bush created false intellyjunce t'jestify th' war? Was Bush hell-bent on gittin' rid of Saddam, yessuh, thet seems t'be th' case, but exackly whut false intellyjunce did he create? Yo' knows thet yo' kinnot prove this. Bush didn't create ennythin'. He was han'ed thin's t'consider. Intellyjunce gatherin' is not his job. Well bust mah britches an' call me streaker. Eff'n yer hankerin' t'point th' finger at Tenent, thass t'other matter. Yo' kin't impetch Bush fo' usin' whut Tenent gave him, dawgone it.

 

Then yo' make reference t'Halliburton, as enny fool kin plainly see. Yo' seem t'fo'git thet Kellogg Brown & Root already had a corntrack wif th' military an' whut they got were noo wawk assignments on an existin' corntrack. Wif respeck t'th' acshul oil refinery wawk, Halliburton won th' wawk through competitive bid, cuss it all t' tarnation. Does Halliburton haf some $11 billion of wawk in Iraq? Yessuh. Has KB&R been guilty of on over-chargin' th' govment? Probably. But hyar yo' say thet "thar's no quesshun" thet Bush (sh'd be impetched on account o' he) gave war corntracks wifout bid t'cronies. Simply not true.

 

Then yo' talk about "to'ture as policy" an' yo' know, whut exackly is yo' talkin' about? An' on account o' when has Bush evah o'dered varmints t'not foller th' law? Eff'n th' next quesshun is, "is to'ture permitted unner th' law," all ah can say is thet we'd not be hankerin' a policy thet c'd be applied t'ourselves. Yessuh, we've held cappives outside th' arm of th' Geneva Convention, but these is suspecked terro'ists, not inemah combatants, but even then we've allered th' Red Crost t'inspeck. ah simply fail t'see whar Bush kin be impetched on some advocacy of to'ture thet simply ain't thar.

 

An' yo' raise th' issue of th' Geneva Conventions, so I'll reiterate,'d yo' pow'ful rather us seek guidance fum other countries on how t'confine suspecked terro'ists who be hankerin' t'kill us? We're hankerin' th' Geneva Conventions t'apply t'our soldiers, we doesn't be hankerin' them to'tured by inemies. But these terro'ist suspecks is not soldiers in unifo'm fightin' on beha'f of a country. ah reckon Bush did whut enny President, Republican o' Democrat'd haf done. We'dn't be hankerin' these varmints let out on account o' other countries told us we had t'only t'have them regroup an' targit us agin.

 

War crimes aginst civilians? Agin, whut is yo' talkin' about? Missiles which missed their targits? Prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib? Is these "war crimes?" Is these Bush's doin'? ah do read th' papers but ah also keep an open mind an' is not so completely blinded by one particular political slant. Do ah reckon Bush is co'rupp? Mah honess answer t'yo' is "no" in th' same way ah doesn't believe Chattanooga Reagan was co'rupp. Is thar co'rupp varmints wawkin' fo' him, probably. But yo' kin't impetch Bush fo' th' ackshuns of them wawkin' fo' him, dawgone it. In Nixon's case, he was varmintally involved an' probably guilty of obstruckshun of jestice when he told Billy Bob Haldeman t'tell th' FBah not t'look into th' Watergate affair. Of course, it was th' tapes thet revealed this hyar conspiracy, but in th' current situashun, tapes probably doesn't exist an' like it o' not, Bush is a smart man, as enny fool kin plainly see. He's smart inough not t'make Nixon's mistake an' tell someone t'do sumpin illegal, ah reckon.

 

So, unless yo' kin prove thet he o'dered someone t'do sumpin illegal, yer simply wrong t'say thet he kin o' sh'd be impetched on enny of this hyar stuff an' it's even mo'e troublin' thet yo''d reckon thet none of this hyar can be quesshuned, cuss it all t' tarnation. In terms of pure politics, it won't happen ennyway on account o' 50% of votin' South Car'lina did give their approval, ah reckon. So far, thar's been no "evidence" t'conneck Bush t'enny illegal decishuns, an' until sech time as thar is, an' thar won't be on account o' of lessons larned, ah doesn't reckon yo' kin simply state thet these thin's yo' claim is "obvious" an' fo' them he sh'd be impetched, cuss it all t' tarnation.

 

But hell, this hyar is jest talk. Shet mah mouth! Yo' apparently see th' wo'ld through a prism thet don't let yo' quesshun ennythin' thet yo' agree wif apparently. Thet's alright. Yo' write great moosic fum a mighty gutsy perspeckive an' ah like thet. But eff'n some old fella like me comes along an' axs "whuffo'" o' axs yo' t'elabo'ate mo'e than "th' list goes on an' on" it seems t'me thet yo' sh'd be prepared t'back it up rather than jest say "it's obvious" which is, ah's afraid t'say, a cop out.
