No worries. Bush would just make a recess appointment of Bebe Rebozo anyway. šŸ˜‰ ---

[QUOTE=Diceman] Personally, I hope they do spend the next year and a half in rancorous debate over this. Itā€™ll make the Democrats look like vindictive obstructionists, and help the Pubbies in '08. The Democratic leadership knows this, which is why Nancy Pelosi and others have said that they arenā€™t going to try to impeach anyone. [/QUOTE] You know what really irritates me? It seems that Republicans can get away with this sorta thing- but if Democrats do it, itā€™ll make them look bad. Itā€™s like when Roy Villanueva picked on me back in Elementary. If he beat me up, it was ignored by the teachersā€¦ but if I fought back, I got detention. ---

Now the [state senate of Vermont](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/20/AR2007042000632.html) is calling for the impeachment of both Bush and Cheney. FWIW. ---

[Kucinich presented the articles of impeachment today.](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/24/AR2007042401542.html) Article I: Cheney deliberately manipulated the intelligence process to deceive Congress and the people about the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Article II: Ditto, WRT to the relationship between Hussein and al-Qaeda. Article III: Cheney has openly threatened aggression against Iran absent any real threat to the U.S. [But he needs co-sponsors.](http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?bid=1&pid=189256) Write your senator! ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Write your senator! [/QUOTE] And work in something about him having a pregnant lesbian daughter. Since heā€™s not going to actually be removed anyway, at least throwing in something about ā€œwaging a war that endangers the lives of all Americans from the handful of remaining World War I veterans down to those as unborn as the bastard daughter of lesbian Mary Cheneyā€ will at least get him pissed off enough that he might have another heart attack. ---
