So many misdeeds, perpetrations of fraud, flagrant commissions of crimes… …here's a summary list of recent events plaguing the ethically challenged Bush administration:

• Allowing a president to break the law and commit a felony for more than five years without even a formal independent investigation would be the ultimate subversion of the Constitution and the rule of law
  
  
• Copies of handwritten notes by Vice President Dick Cheney, which were introduced into evidence Tuesday during Scooter Libby's (the former VP chief of staff) perjury and obstruction-of-justice trial, call into question the truthfulness of President Bush's vehement denials about his prior knowledge of the attacks against Joe Wilson
  
  
• U.S. scientists were pressured to tailor their writings on global warming to fit the Bush administration's skepticism, in some cases at the behest of a former oil-industry lobbyist
  
  
• An Inspector General report shows that U.S. soldiers have had to go without the necessary weapons, armor, vehicles, and equipment in Iraq and Afghanistan
  
  
• Bush grants himself power to override federal health, environment, civil rights and privacy agencies
  
  
• The dubious 96 words in Mr. Bush’s State of the Union address — of the four counter-terror claims the president made, he went 0-for-4
  
  
• The value of Cheney's Halliburton stock options has jumped from $241,498 to more than $8,000,000.
  
  
• Lest we forget about the lies that were responsible for a war that has caused thousands of U.S. casualties and killed vast numbers of Iraqi civilians — President George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq is the greatest crime of the 21st century

Meanwhile, Congress fritters the time away with ceremonial and symbolic gestures like unbinding resolutions. For another president, covering up an illicit relationship with an intern was cause to launch Congress into a teetering impeachment tizzy whereas the current administration's conduct has bequeathed thousands of U.S. casualties and killed vast numbers of Iraqi civilians, along with the commission of felony crimes, according to a federal judge. And speaking of impeachment, the Bush administration has done far greater damage than Nixon.
