There is a movement, (some describe it as, "huge") to impeach Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut for stifling health care reform. His constituents believe the Senator's interests rest in representing the needs of health care insurance companies that have heavily contributed to his campaign bucket.
Without health care reform, it is estimated that 50,000 people in the United States will die. Seems like the Connecticut Senator is willing to sacrifice the lives of 50,000 people to fill his campaign bucket. This 50,000 figure is greater than the 5,000 already killed in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
But Tiger Woods is being hailed as the villain with the huge problem. Woods isn't causing anyone's death. His bucket of money was earned the old fashioned way playing a superb game of golf. He even paid for and built the Tiger Woods Library at St. Jude's Hospital. The guy may have dipped his quill into close to twenty or so ink-wells, but as Woody Allen's mother asked in the film Annie Hall, "What is that your business?"
It is between Woods, his wife, that huge golf club and the lawyers. And will the media stop parading the ink-wells, tearfully claiming empty buckets, on every early morning talk show?
Why should the Tiger Woods saga be the subject of nightly news reports, while Joe Lieberman's direct action of putting 50,000 lives at risk is ignored? And isn't it considered a conflict of interest to be filling a campaign bucket and ignore the lives of 50,000 people?
Where is the outrage? Where is the Senate ethics committee? The same committee that protested so vehemently when President Clinton had consensual sex in the Oval office? Wait, hold it, wasn't that the same Joe Lieberman of Connecticut calling for Clinton impeachment hearings?
If anyone goes to an ice cream parlor and buys a triple decker ice cream cone and is instead served a bowl of soupy, melted ice cream, he'd want his money back, right? Joe Lieberman is resembling a soupy, melting bucket of ice cream to the voters of Connecticut.
The movement is near.
