LOS ANGELES—A storefront "impeachment headquarters" emblazoned with American flags opened July 4 with a mission to remove President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.
Activists who gathered to open the Los Angeles Impeachment Center accuse the Bush administration of condoning torture, spying on Americans and misleading citizens about the war in Iraq. They also were angry at the president's decision to commute the 2 1/2-year prison sentence of former Cheney aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who was convicted of lying and obstructing justice.

"Isn't it ironic that Paris Hilton will spend more days in jail than Libby?" said Byron De Lear, a Green Party activist.

"I'm just hoping all of this will get Bush out of office so we can get our troops out of Iraq," said Lauren Kuzma, 17, of Murrieta.

The center is sponsored by Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles, Westside Greens, Santa Monica Democratic Club and the Los Angeles Greens. Activists plan to work there on the campaign through phone calls, mailings, petitions and lobbying.

By all means listen to Olberman's chastisement of Bush and demand for his resignation. A little honest, clear-thinking anger is a delight to the jaded eye.
