I should like to commend (City) Councilman Herb Katz, who in Kevin Herrera’s piece (“Showing Bush the exit,” June 19) is quoted as saying this George Bush is the worst president ever; and to correct both the grammar and accuracy of a statement by Councilwoman Pam O’Connor.
In the unreal past, we would say, “If the first thing hadn’t happened, the second thing wouldn’t have happened.” Saying that the nation wouldn’t have gotten George Bush if Ralph Nader “wouldn’t have run” in 2000 is ungrammatical, unprovable and highly improbable, since over six million unwise Democrats voted for Bush, helping him far more than, say, his brother fixing the election in Florida.
No matter what party you’re from, please join us July 4, from 1 p.m. — 3 p.m. at La Cienega Park for our “Impeachment Picnic” for those of us who wish to tolerate no longer this disgraceful, immoral administration who have tricked us into squandering years of international goodwill and leadership, and tricked us into invading and stealing oil from another sovereign nation for profit. Be there or side with these criminals.
