Why shoot the monkey (bush), when you can shoot one of the organ grinders!

I think some people are starting to feel a little nervous in the establishment.

The Dems are just ****** that Clinton was impeached.

It'll be standard MO from now on that the opposition will try to impeach the incumbent, regardless of merit. I'm surprised that you guys can't see this, to be honest.

Of course it still has a long way to go.

Even if the Judiciary Committee begins a formal investigation, it’s unlikely to result in Cheney’s impeachment. Even if the House acts, a two-thirds Senate vote would be needed to oust him.
www.kansascity.com | 11/06/2007 | Cheney impeachment issue surprises House leadership as GOP maneuvers to force debate

After Republicans voted to force a debate on the measure introduced today by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Democrats voted to refer it without further discussion to the House Judiciary Committee, where Chairman John Conyers has expressed his reluctance to take the matter up.

The articles of impeachment proposed by Kucinich charge Cheney with misleading Congress and the American public into the war in Iraq, and trying now to mislead lawmakers and voters into a war with Iran. The Ohio Democrat, who is also running for president, has gathered 21 co-sponsors for the effort.

We can only hope that this leads to something good.
