A Must Read

The Rev. Hillary’s Tin Ear.

It may not be Hillary’s fault that her voice sounds like it was fashioned from metal, but it is her fault that she sounds like a car alarm when she’s handed a microphone. It is her fault that she panders — badly — to her audiences.

Her performance last weekend in Selma revealed more than atonality. Like a warped bell, Hillary Clinton rings untrue.

Kathleen Parker is spot on.

Want To Impeach Bush?

Then go live with your brothers and sisters in moonbatsville.

More than 30 Vermont towns passed resolutions on Tuesday seeking to impeach President Bush, while at least 16 towns in the tiny New England state called on Washington to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.

Known for picturesque autumn foliage, colonial inns, maple sugar and old-fashion dairy farms, Vermont is in the vanguard of a grass-roots protest movement to impeach Bush over his handling of the unpopular Iraq war.

“We’re putting impeachment on the table,” said James Leas, a Vermont lawyer who helped to draft the resolutions and is tracking the votes. “The people in all these towns are voting to get this process started and bring the troops home now.”

The resolutions passed on Vermont’s annual town meeting day — a colonial era tradition where citizens debate issues of the day big and small — are symbolic and cannot force Congress to impeach Bush, but they “may help instigate further discussions in the legislature,” said state Rep. David Zuckerman.

I like what one commenter had to say about this.

Vermont does a great service to the rest of the country by absorbing all of the useless hippies, tree hugging granola nuts, earth worshipers and other useless societal rejects and sequestering them from decent society. At least our children are safe from these reality challenged invalids as long as they are kept in that place. Thank God there is good skiing in New Hampshire so no one has to expose themselves to the incipient brain rotting disease these people seem to be suffering from.

Heh.

Want Universal Healthcare?

Think it will solve problems? Hillary and many of her Democratic Party co-conspirators believe it’s the answer for America. Yet, in many cases, socialized medicine makes a bigger mess of an already messed up system. Look no further than the U.K.

A hospital has apologised to a heart patient who said he was woken at 3am and asked to leave his bed to make way for an emergency admission.

Father-of-six Mohammed Khan said he was forced to lie on a trolley in a crowded patient waiting room for four hours before being moved to a chair.

A spokeswoman for the Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust said: “We are sorry Mr Khan had to wait in our medical assessment unit overnight and into the following day while we made every effort to find a ward bed for him.

“Unfortunately, this is a result of the severe pressure both of our major hospitals are currently experiencing and it is sometimes necessary to use temporary overnight accommodation before we can find space on a ward.

She added the main cause was the high levels of delays in the transfer of patients in the trust.

“We currently have 208 beds unavailable for new admissions because they are being used by patients who no longer need them but cannot be moved until their ongoing care needs have been resolved.

“This is creating unacceptable delays and distress for new patients.”

She added the trust was holding talks with the local authority partners and the Welsh assembly government to find solutions to the situation.

Universal healthcare will guarantee the efficiency of the Postal Service with all the compassion of the IRS. Kinda gives you the goose bumps, doesn’t it?

All Things Libby

It seems as though all other news has taken the back seat to the fallout from yesterdays conviction of Scooter Libby. I don’t feel like joining the crowd on this. There’s just too many people in the room talking about the same thing. Head over to Memeorandum and see for yourself. I will mention one notable read. It comes from the Washington Post.

The fall of this skilled and long-respected public servant is particularly sobering because it arose from a Washington scandal remarkable for its lack of substance. It was propelled not by actual wrongdoing but by inflated and frequently false claims, and by the aggressive and occasionally reckless response of senior Bush administration officials — culminating in Mr. Libby’s perjury.

This editorial hits the nail on the head.
