Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney
2008-03-05

Yep. Gotta make sure Cheney's in there. While Bush is Evil, Cheney is Pure Evil...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution," local media reported.
Andy and Barney better get right on that...
The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them."
Like...who?
Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics.
It wasn't before the New Yorkers and the Massholes moved up there.
State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington.
Well that's only because dissent has been surpressed. Everybody knows that.
Bush has never visited the state as president, though he has spent vacations at his family compound in nearby Maine.
Looks like a roadtrip for the Brattleboro PD...
Roughly 12,000 people live in Brattleboro, located on the Connecticut River in the state's southeastern corner. Nearby Marlboro has a population of roughly 1,000.
So I guess there'll be nothing to do up there now but shovel global warming until all the old naked guys show up for the summer...

#7  Yeah FOTS, I was day dreaming about Bush and Cheney making an ostentatious visit to see what the Secret Service would do to those bozos if they actually tried anything.

#6  How many divisions do Brattleboro and Marlboro have?

#4  I guess Vermont doesn't teach the Constitution in their schools. The only people who can bring articles of impeachment against the President are the members of the House of Representatives. Those articles are then tried by the Senate. The people of Vermont also have very short attention spans, or they would have remembered seeing this in action when Bill Clinton was impeached.

It's a shame to see the city of Brattleboro fall so low, considering its role in the Revolutionary War. Of course, liberalism rots brain tissue, so it's decidedly understandable.

#3  Apparently they decided they don't need federal funding either.

#2  Apparently they only read part of the constitution. They skipped the part prohibiting bills of attainder.
