So why did Elsbernd push it off to committee, a sure-fire way to delay the sucker and keep the thing from ever being voted upon? Says Elsbernd in Matier & Ross: "I have more important things to do than to vote for President Bush's impeachment.' But because the idea that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors should always involve itself into national and foreign affairs is such a given, Beyond Chron wonders whether Elsbernd is either just trying to stick it to Daly, or-- horror of horrors!-- exhibiting support for Bush and Cheney.
Why this resolution is important because, once again, San Francisco will be leading the way to affect change throughout the country. We're sure once the resolution passes, an Assemblyman in Peoria will be so inspired that they will push a similar resolution there and once Peoria calls for it, well, buh-bye Bush. Because that's what always happens when we pass one of these resolutions.
Beyond Chron has another theory, one formulated after a discussion with a member of the politically attuned and well connected San Francisco People's Party, about how with all that BushCo. have done, they just might be guilty of enough war crimes to be thrown in front of the War Crimes Tribunal. Which will SO happen.
Actually, it might in that one country on the board of the Hague is Venezuela, which is run by Bush's good buddy Hugo Chavez. And Chavez is just crazy enough to do it. And by crazy, we mean well more than missing a few episodes of a "Buffy" Season Three box set DVD. Like more than half the season and every episode in the second half after Faith goes bad and joins up with the Mayor and even probably the awesome episode where Willow has to impersonate her bad-ass lesbian Vampire alter-ego (we lurve that episode). It goes without saying that with Chavez leading the way, the other nations will follow through and it'll only be a matter of months before Bush is hauled away in prison t's.
All of this thanks to Chris Daly.
