The president said the Senate effort (for a no-confidence vote for Al Gonzales) was irrelevant. Bush thinks that Congress is irrelevant, American people in it's majority are irrelevant, peace is irrelevant, death of more Americans in Iraq irrelevant... Why aren't we having a no-confidence vote on the monkey?

Joshua B. I have solutions, they will never be implemented if the people on the hill refuse to listen.. But then I am repeating myself to you am I not?

Please don't take this as an insult, if anyone reads this. It's ONLY AN OPINION, but I think that Mr. Bush started this terrible war and I didn't think it was right for him to cheat on the votes in the first place either!

Ummm because the vote is a waste of time, he serves til he quits or the President says go away. Even a monkey can tell without a vote that congress doesn't like Gonzales so why have a vote? Seems like congress is being run by a bunch of bananas.

A matter of civics. Congress is to busy fawning over themselves and not doing anything other than bolstering their political position. I amazed that you know so much about President Bush to absolutely know he believes Congress is irrelevant. Wow I wish I had that kind of knowledge.
I like your reasoning chain - I could say "Some Iranians call for Death of America and Israel" on the weekly call to prayer on Friday afternoons, Some Iranians are terrorists, therefore all Iranians should be considered terrorists and the Western world should go to war with them." Ridiculous, right?
What I said was foolish - what you said was foolish also.
Get a clue. Like a typical bleeding heart liberal, you piss and moan but never provide a solution for fear that you may be criticized, called out or revised. Maybe Congress should quit worrying about "State" activities and start passing laws. Rhetoric. Thanks.

You are absolutely right, logically speaking. However, politics does not run on logic. It runs on saving-face policy. If we were to go through a process like we did with President Clinton in the time of war, it will make the US a bigger target for all countries around the world, including China, Russia, etc. It is all about a united front even though the president is the biggest idiot. The US don't want to seem weak to its enemies.
This is why Bush will not pull out of Iraq. Any withdrawl from Iraq will be victory for the enemy.
So, we stay and both side die. He has opened Pandora's Box with no solution in sight.

OMG people. President Bush will be the President for another 19 months, get over it. Why don't you use that obsessive energy to do some good in the world instead of complain about something that you have no control over! Go feed the homeless, teach an English class, teach a literacy class. Make yourself useful.

I don`t know about all the technical stuff but if there is likely to be an unemployed monkey, particularly one with some experience as an incompetent administrator I may know an organisation that has an opening for just such an individual.

I had missed that article. I've since buzzed it up. I think that Ted Rall and Helen Thomas are liberals who are intellectually honest at the very least. They've made my week by admitting the things they have.

The president is under the impression that he answers to no one, Senate or Congress. He acts like he's the leader of a dictatorship and not a democratic country. Your observation and assessment of his over powering control and inflexibility seem right on the money to me.

We don't have a Parliamentary system, so there isn't a process for a "no confidence" vote on the President. He can be impeached and if convicted, he can be removed from office. Draw up the articles of impeachment and have your Congressperson submit them.

He has to have a reason to be a nincompoop?
