Boulder proves Forest Gump correct.

In case you have forgot, Gump noted, "Stupid is as stupid does."

The city council of Boulder, CO is weighing whether or not to impeach Bush and Cheney.

Seems like a harmless little exercise in nonsense by a group of people with too few smarts and too much time on their hands, right?

Wrong.

Consider this.

Q: Was the American antiwar movement important to Hanoi's victory?

A: It was essential to our strategy. Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable. Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement. Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda, and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses. We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.
