PITBULL PEES ON PREZNIT PRETZAL'S PANTLEG
Rep. Jim McDermott Says Bush Is Trying to 'Become An Emperor'

On Sunday, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Gonads) broadened his attack on Bush's war plans yesterday, saying Emperor Snippy is threatening military action in Iraq as part of a plot to crown himself emperor of America.

McDermott, a Seattle Democrat, was back in his district telling cheering supporters that Bush is planning a war to distract voters' attention from domestic problems, such as the collapsing stock market and other problems at home.

"It is the oldest game in the book," he said. "They found this war very convenient to obscure people's views about what is happening domestically."

"This president is trying to bring to himself all the power to become an emperor - to create Empire America," he said. And he warned his supporters, "If you go along like sheep that is what will happen."

He said Bush is trying to "submarine" efforts to restart weapons inspections in Iraq to give him a pretext for starting a war, in part to bolster U.S. oil interests. "And what we are dealing with right now in this country is whether we are having a kind of bloodless, silent coup or not," he said. He also talked about what oil companies could gain from a war and said, "I'm not going to connect the dots exactly, but I think a dotted line certainly seems within the realm of possibility. Oil is certainly a part of it but I don't think it's the underlying issue." The underlying issue, he said repeatedly, is a fight over the Constitutional power to declare war. - From
