Get DeLay to Get Bush

New York Jackass Congressman Charlie Rangel is in rare form this week:

Top House Democrat Charlie Rangel said this week that President Bush had committed an "impeachable offense" by trying to destroy the Social Security retirement system, calling Bush's reform plan "a fraud."

In comments to the New York Sun, Rangel blasted the president for trying to "dismantle" Social Security, saying it would hurt black Americans disproportionately.

Hysterical? Pathologically dishonest? As Rocky Balboa would say, "Absolutely."

But Rangel was just getting started.

For black Americans, the congressman added, the struggle against the proposed changes was "not only a civil-rights fight, but a fight for America."

Rangel called on African-Americans to continue their "missionary" work against the Social Security proposals and likened the effort to marching with Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma to Montgomery.

This is some of the most cynically racist demogoguery imaginable. For Black Klansman like Rangel there appears to be nothing that they won't pour into the template of the one liberal cause of the past half-century that actually possessed moral authority and standing. But calling his Marxist agitating "missionary work" borders on the blasphemous, and ought to be viscerally offensive to every churchgoing African-American both in the religious sense and as a profound example of just how stupid the pigmentation pimps think they really are.

But Rangel's rantings aren't really the point of this post.

Before raising the spectre of impeachment, the top Democrat told a Town Hall meeting in Harlem that the Bush Social Security plan was both "vicious and mean."

"We have to get rid of the bums that are trying to take [Social Security] away from us," Rangel complained, saying he was referring to "people who sleep with Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and the rest of them."

Leaving aside Rangel's exercise in projection (not reforming the SS system with private accounts fits his "vicious and mean" slur far better) and his gutteral sexual imagery (What happened to your religious paradigm, Charlie...?), we get to what House Democrats are really driving at.

To wit: if they can bully majority Republicans into sacking their own majority leader, they'll keep right on persecuting one 'Pubbie after another until the GOP base is so disgustedly livid at this craven display that they'll pull the plug on their linguini-spined electees, stay home en masse in '06, and hand back to the Democrats the proverbial keys to the kingdom.

And in a 110th Congress, guess what the first order of business would be?

If you said, "articles of impeachment against President Bush," go to the head of the class.

As it stands now, Dubya is beyond the Dems' reach. They couldn't beat him in 2000 and failed again last year. The only way they could bring him down now (legally, that is) would be to impeach him, something that's been high on their list of ambitions ever since our side of the aisle did it, with ample justification, to Sick Willie back in 1998. And they can't pull that off without either a majority or pedofilic pics of at least fifteen House Pachyderms.

As one respondent to NRO's The Corner concluded today,

“People need to understand something: If the Democrats and the New York Times get Tom DeLay that’s not the end of a process, that’s the beginning of a process. [It will only] validate their charges [against the entire Republican majority].”

The Donks may sound mad, but there is some cunning method behind it.

And if GOPers dociley serve as their catspaws in a grisly debacle of fratricidal cannibalism, the old appellation "Stupid Party" won't begin to describe it.
