Richard Dreyfuss, the actor who starred in movies ranging from "Jaws" to "Mr. Holland's Opus," told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that "there are causes worth fighting for," and one of those is the impeachment of President George W. Bush.
"There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose," Dreyfuss said during a speech at the National Press Club. "Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment."
Noting that the process was established by the country's "founders, who we revere to check executive abuse with congressional balance," Dreyfuss said impeachment "is a statement that we refuse to endorse bad behavior."
"If we refuse to debate the appropriateness of the process of impeachment, we endorse that behavior, and we approve the enlargement of executive power," regardless of whoever may occupy the White House in the future, he said."And don't kid yourselves: No one ever gives up power, ever," Dreyfuss added.
The man makes good sense. I have always liked Mr. Dreyfuss even if he did star in the movie which makes it impossible for me to relax when I am in the ocean.
"You go inside the cage?"
"Cage goes in the water?"
"You go into water?"
"Sharks in the water?"
" Our Shark?"
"Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies......."
Well at least we know he has guts.
