How can we get bush caught up in a Perjury Trap?
long long ago in a land far far away, a president told one, little, insignificant lie and was impeached over it. his political enemies all but exploded with outrage and acted as if the world had ended and attacked him relentlessly over it for years and disgraced him for all history. and the Republicans lived happily ever after.

and they continue the fairy tale thinking to this day when referring to Clinton's great crime of lying, by bringing up the fact that 'HE LIED UNDER OATH' thereby making it some sort of treasonous act and branding him a congenital liar whose every word is useless and dismissed as lies. in other words, they caught him in a perjury trap.

now, what can we devious types do to force bush into court and force him to lie and then force him out of office over it? or is that too radical of an idea? or possibly a waste of time?

let's face it, he's told a lie. in fact he's told THOUSANDS OF LIES, and under oath he'd be hard pressed to answer any damn question for fear of committing perjury. these are the republican rules, if you tell even one lie, you get impeached and disgraced.

2. Easy - get him under oath!
No more of this "testifying-but-not-under-oath" bullshit that he pulled in both the Plame affair and the 9/11 Commission hearings.

3. We Don't
That's the lowest legal trick in the book, and i don't think it's necessary to stoop to that when there are tangible things that could be pursued.

They did it to Clinton. And, they got away with it (although there was no perjury, by law). And, nobody got slammed for collusion between the criminal investigators and the civil attorneys who set up a trap to foment a felony where none existed.

I don't think we should participate.

4. it WOULD be fun to see him under oath in court though
cause you know he'd lie like a rug, or he'd have big dick speaking for him right by his side
