Impeach Bush?I doubt it'll happen, but imagine how it might look to history: After squeaking through a contested election against a man (Gore) who would have lacked the necessary guts, Bush spends just enough time in office to topple Saddam and set Iraq on a path toward — well, something besides brutal tyranny — and roil other dictators in the region. But he does it through the usual Washington program of Machiavellian lies, and for these he gets toppled by an outraged Congress, proving that democracy in the U.S. is not dead. The mood around Radio Free Mike these days is cheerful pessimism, so we're not given to flowery praise, but most of us would forgive future historians for recognizing in that series of events the hand of God.
