Lou Dobbs finds his reason to impeach Bush… food safety.
Last night on his TV show, CNN host Lou Dobbs expressed frustration and anger at the incompetence with which the Bush administration has handled food safety in this country. Federal health officials have learned of 106 more cases of salmonella linked to tainted tomatoes, putting the outbreak’s toll at 383 and counting. “I know there is a great deal of frustration” that the mystery hasn’t been solved, said Dr. David Acheson, the FDA’s associate commissioner for foods. “We’re continuing to work flat-out.” Last night, Dobbs lashed out:
You know, I have heard a lot of reasons over the years as to why George W. Bush should be impeached. For them to leave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in this state, its leadership in this sorry condition and to have no capacity apparently or will to protect the American consumer – that is alone to me sufficient reason to impeach a president who has made this agency possible and has ripped its guts out in its ability to protect the American consumer. It’s insane what is going on here.

Get in line behind Kucinich, dirtbag.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:16 pmCan’t Pelosi or Reid find some way to retroactively make unsafe food safe?
I’m sure they’re calling Bush right now to see how they should proceed on this issue.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:16 pmThat’s the best you got, Lou?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:17 pmAl Capone, another violent criminal like Bush, was ultimately doomed by the IRS for tax evasion. I suppose this food thing is a start…
June 20th, 2008 at 2:18 pmThough it would be like imprisoning Hitler for jaywalking
Food safety? Hey Lou, call Dennis Kucinich and ask him to make it reason number 36.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:19 pmAs loony as I find Dobbs to be at times, he is right that this is a very big issue. Add it to the list of offenses that Pelosi and Reid will ignore.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:20 pm…that is alone to me sufficient reason to impeach a president who has made this agency possible and has ripped its guts out in its ability to protect the American consumer…
So lying us into war at the cost of thousands of lives or trashing the Constitution didn’t do it for you but a few hundred people with the runs has you wanting his head? OK, works for me.

June 20th, 2008 at 2:25 pmWell, I guess Bush hit a nerve with Dobbs, FOOD, which he obviously enjoys a bit too much.
So lying about War, Torture, Wire Tapping, hundreds of thousands of innocent dead weren’t enough for you Lou? Just FOOD, what the fcuk?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:26 pmI can see Lou’s point… authorize the outing of a covert agent in wartime… authorize spying on Americans without a warrant… suspend habeas corpus… start a war of choice on false pretenses…
but fu(k with Lou Dobb’s salad bar (at Applebee’s no doubt) — well then he’s gone TOO FAR!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:27 pmThis is one of the few things I agree on with Dobbs.
Maybe he’ll harp IMPEACH 24/7 from now on!!! I can get on board with that :)
June 20th, 2008 at 2:28 pmlock_box is still upset that there were no jelly donuts left in the Troll Central break Room this morning.
That’s why his posts make no sense. He’s pissed and his blood sugar’s low.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:29 pmWTF? Did Lou get a bad tomato and ruin a pair of pants?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:31 pmI’d rather use the salmonella tainted tomatoes to pelt the chymp with.

Hey!!! Whatever works!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:31 pmHi ralph. What’s the deal with lock_box? I haven’t been sufficiently impressed yet to even wanna bother to poke at em
June 20th, 2008 at 2:32 pmI heard Bush beats his dog with the flag poll of the American flag in the oval office.
I didn’t know they kept approval ratings for a pole? Probably 29% think yours is too small.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:32 pmWow. Even the loony wingnuts want to impeach the barstid.
Let’s get with it, Congress!!!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:34 pmMusta been a bad batch of carrots that turned Lou orange. Here I thought it was just the makeup.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:34 pmNo worries, dbadass. You take it easy this morning. You’ve had a busy week. I’ll take responsibility for poking lock_box.
But you’re right; not very impressive. Must be like a day hire or something.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:36 pmWhatever it takes. If he wears white after Labor Day, whatever it takes.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:36 pmWho knew that it would take not getting a T on his BLT that would finally get Lou Dobbs to see the light?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:37 pmRight, Lou. And it’s those damn illegal Mexicans pissing on the tomato plants that’s causing all the problems.
(sarcasm off)
June 20th, 2008 at 2:39 pmRalph – he’s a temp. ;o)

June 20th, 2008 at 2:39 pmralph, you know the joke was on Fox. Applebee’s doesn’t have a salad bar.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pmlock box obviously thinks all the world’s problems are caused by a fire-breathing Al Gore.
fascism and the destruction of the Constitution and Democracy don’t bother Lou –
But Mess with a meal…you’re toast
June 20th, 2008 at 2:41 pmLou will impeach Bush over some cow poop on tomatoes, but not over lies used to stampede America into a ruinous and bloody oil war of choice?
Words fail to describe such obscenely immoral priorities.
Just saying . . .

Liberals are still upset at the Clinton impeachment. It’s ok, you’ve already thrown him under the bus with the classic chess move of the left, by calling him a racist.
I heard Bush beats his dog with the flag poll of the American flag in the oval office.
Someone call PETA and let’s get this Neanderthal of a human being out of our house!!!!
it is a strange wind indeed that blows up the skirt of lock_box.

June 20th, 2008 at 2:42 pmDon’t forget the leprosy-carrying immigrants.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pmSupporting Lou Dobbs on this would be an example of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” And that’s never a good policy. Look what it got us before: Usama bin Laden.
I’m glad that Lou is expressing outrage over this tainted food business. And he’s right that it is a very serious offense. (Allowing your citizens to get poisoned through your own neglect is never good for a ruler, even a tyrant like Bush.) But if this is what it takes to finally get him mad enough to want to impeach and remove Bush from office, then I do not understand his value system.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:45 pmDobbs is outraged about food safety? That’s it?
Jeebus! WTF about illegal wars? usurping executive power? abuse of power? lying to Congress? torture? abduction of innocent people? rendition? illegal spying on citizens? Does nothing else matter?
Dobbs, you are SUCH a DICKHEAD!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:47 pmWayne, let me try to help.
1) Food, in mass quantities
2) Hate, directed at non whites
3) Fear, that a dark skinned person may take his job
4) Fear, that his wife is bonking the pool boy
5) Egotism, that someone, somewhere may know more than he does.
That’s about it.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:49 pmClinton did it too! Does this mean that lock box is rogerse?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:51 pm1) Food, in mass quantities
2) Hate, directed at non whites
3) Fear, that a dark skinned person may take his job
4) Fear, that his wife is bonking the pool boy
5) Egotism, that someone, somewhere may know more than he does.
All in mass quantities, of course.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:52 pmHey rogerse! I hear the ice-cream man! You must have enough dimes accumulated by now that you can afford a Bomb Pop, right?
Just think how patriotic you’ll be, sucking on that red-white-and-blue frozen symbol of aggression!
Hurry! You’ll miss the truck!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:54 pmI guess that’s the best rogerse can do. :)
June 20th, 2008 at 2:55 pmI’m sorry. . . but until I see Lou place the noose over the neck of the person he’s ragging on, I don’t much care what he says about ANYTHING!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 2:56 pmIt takes a while for a lunatic to recognize insanity.
June 20th, 2008 at 2:57 pmIsn’t food safety one of the 60 articles of impeachment Dennis plans to give next month?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:57 pmrog,
ah yes, the bad old days of the clinton administration.
when the average price for a gallon gas was $1.52.
good luck.

and here’s another ‘Clinton sort of did something like that, not really, but kinda sorta something like maybe that, or not.’
Thanks rogersinkingevolution, for nothing.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:03 pmrog,

hee, hee, hee.

June 20th, 2008 at 3:10 pmlock box/rogerse, if anyone had ever said that Clinton was perfect, then you would have a point. Progressives are to the left of Hill and Billary.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:12 pmR-2 doesn’t believe in the fundamental maxim of American jurisprudence that one is “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”.
Why does R-2 hate America and all it stands for?
June 20th, 2008 at 3:17 pmUmm… yeah,we have heard of “surging economies”. Oddly enough, R-2, this might be a situation in which your favorite “Clinton Did It!™” response would be appropriate.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:18 pmrogerse, ever realize that everyone in the Bush administration is from the oil industry and they are making out like bandits from the price increase?

Amazing how accurate they were in predicting all this back in Jan of 2001:
June 20th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Well, I guess it is a reason, no matter how weak it seems.
But, haven’t we had so many other reasons, and most all of them really substantive ones as a basis for impeachment?
I’d choose a bigger gun for that hunt…
June 20th, 2008 at 3:29 pmHow about poison in the air, water, soil, and toys? Is that OK?
June 20th, 2008 at 3:32 pmrog,

June 20th, 2008 at 3:40 pmjoe, do you have a popsicle in your freezer? I think R-2 missed the ice-cream truck and he’s looking like he could use one.
I would have given him a quarter to step up for the Bomb Pop, but he’s too dedicated to catapulting the propaganda, i guess.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:45 pmrog,
the “f” word?
kiss your mom/aunt with that mouth?
family values indeed.
good luck.

June 20th, 2008 at 3:58 pmrog, did you miss the ice cream man?
I TOLD you to hurry. It’s your own fault.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:21 pmJust wait till Lou Dobbs finds out that the slaves who picked those tomatoes are probably illegal immigrants.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:36 pmAll thoes dead people,and lou is pissed about tomatoes…unreal man.
June 20th, 2008 at 4:54 pmThe destruction of Constitution or Democracy doesn’t bother Lou much
………………
But mess with a meal and you’re toast!

Troll war is HELL! So many sacrifices.
June 20th, 2008 at 5:51 pmGood for Lou Dobbs. He finally said something meaningful.
June 20th, 2008 at 6:19 pmWOW…I can’t believe Lou Dumbs found something to HATE more than Mexicans!!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 7:49 pmDobbs? That doucebag has been tainted for quite some time.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:07 pmTainted food is a serious issue, and the way the Bush administration has lowered or neglected safety standards here also applies to our infrastructure (like bridge collapses, breached levees, etc.) It’s better that something managed to wake Lou Dobbs to this administration’s corruption and incompetence than nothing ever moving him at all.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pmDon’t mess with Lou’s dinner plate or BAM, right on the pecker.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:41 pmSurely food safety is one part of government that Grover wants to drown in the bathtub.
