As per Poplicks. A time traveler returns from the year 2007 and tells you that President Bush was just impeached and convicted of a specific offense. For what, specifically, would you guess he was impeached?

I say it's lying under oath about sex with a dog.

He was impeached for going to war with a country under false pretences. And the time traveller was also from a different dimension. One where people are sensible.

Impeached after falling into a vat of peaches while on a tour of a peach canning factory in Georgia. Bits of him were turning up in pies for months. No man deserves such a demise.

He gets impeached for making fun of black people while cameras are rolling in New Orleans. Either that or for the death count in Iraq reaching 10,000 people.

Well, we know it won't be for having "not sex" with young interns, anyway.

For murdering a senator on live television. Because that's about the only thing I can think of that would stick to that motherfucker and wouldn't leave enough wiggle room for the GOP to let him off.

kyleg, CIA could posthumously declare the senator was an Al Queda operative, Christopher Hitchens would confirm the analysis, and he'd get a medal of honour and a third term.

... and a medal.

The only thing that's gonna stick, from a bipartisan standpoint, is the NSA stuff -- and even that's iffy (22 Republicans concurring).

Anyway, who'd want Cheney? If that gets near to happening, my money's on a sudden retirement and replacement with Condi. Not that she's any better, but some in the GOP really think it would blunt Hillary.

Sometimes a blunt is just a blunt.

Thanks. Now I'm going to spend my going-to-sleep moments trying to not think about Hillary and Condi engaging in cigar strap-on lesbian love.

Granted, 90% of the blame lies with my own twisted brain and imagination, but thanks anyway. I think I'll start by not thinking about and not imagining Condi as a Klingon with a zippered forehead, upon which Hillary wishes to ride.

Interrupting the final round of American Idol with a speech. Middle America demands its stupidtainment!

I'd be pretty sure that my time-travelling friend was screwing with me, but to be polite I'd guess that he finally told Cheney to go fuck himself.

I'm going to go with some kind of RICO violation.

Suit yourself.
