Two weeks ago on Real Time with Bill Maher, I heard Helen Thomas ask, "Where is the outrage?" from the average citizen over the behavior of this administration.

Today, I got an email from Harry Reid, stating that it is time to demand an independent investigation into the Katrina disaster. That would be true if actions were ever taken as a result of these investigations.

My question is, how much more are the U.S. citizens expected to suffer at the hands of this band of thugs? Bush has broken his sworn oath at every turn. He holds the law and the citizens in contempt, unless they come from his base, the "have-mores," as he calls them. He does nothing as thousands sit, abandoned, in the waters of Katrina, he uses our soldiers as disposable pawns in his game of greed, he refuses to condemn the torture of prisoners, he uses illegal surveillance and he lies at every turn.

Now, do we have a Democrat in Congress who will start the impeachment process to remove the Scourge of the Free World from the White House? Here's your outrage, Helen!
