Common Decency

John Kerry gave a brilliant speech last night. Find the full text here.

Here’s a sample:


Katrina is a symbol of all this administration does and doesn’t do. Michael
Brown — or Brownie as the President so famously thanked him for doing a heck
of a job – Brownie is to Katrina what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq; what
George Tenet is to slam dunk intelligence; what Paul Wolfowitz is to parades
paved with flowers in Baghdad; what Dick Cheney is to visionary energy policy;
what Donald Rumsfeld is to basic war planning; what Tom Delay is to ethics;
and what George Bush is to “Mission Accomplished” and “Wanted
Dead or Alive.” The bottom line is simple: The “we’ll do whatever
it takes” administration doesn’t have what it takes to get the job done.

This is the Katrina administration.

It has consistently squandered time, tax dollars, political capital, and even
risked American lives on sideshow adventures: A war of choice in Iraq against
someone who had nothing to do with 9/11; a full scale presidential assault on
Social Security when everyone knows the real crisis is in health care – Medicare
and Medicaid. And that’s before you get to willful denial on global warming;
avoidance on competitiveness; complicity in the loss and refusal of health care
to millions.

It’s time for Bush to Step down. If he had an ounce of decency he’d resign. Unfortunately, he is entirely devoid of any semblance of such. The entire administration needs to be indicted, convicted, and imprisoned. These criminals must be held accountable for the health of our Country.
