Impeachment

Posted on June 11, 2008 - 6:34am
Impeach BushTwo political posts in a row? One might begin to think that I've sprouted some sort of "attention span".
 
Rep. Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution to impeach President Bush into the House of Representatives Tuesday, having the clerk of the House read the 35-article document in its entirety.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she would not support a resolution calling for Bush’s impeachment, saying such a move was unlikely to succeed and would be divisive.

Most of the congressman’s resolution deals with the Iraq war, contending that the president manufactured a false case for the war, violated U.S. and international law to invade Iraq, failed to provide troops with proper equipment and falsified casualty reports for political purposes.

Kucinich also charges that Bush has illegally detained without charge both U.S. citizens and “foreign captives” and violated numerous U.S. laws through the use of “signing statements” declaring his intention to do so.

See the C-Span video here of Kucinich introducing the bill.

Congressman Robert Wexler co-sponsors the bill.

The realist in me sees this as political posturing and a waste of time but I suppose if an extramarital knob-job was reason enough...

Doesn't Bush have, like, 6 months left? Wouldn't trying to impeach him now be like getting Pam Anderson to pose again for Playboy after we already saw her privates being mashed to bits by Tommy Lee's ginormous junk? I mean..what's the point now? On a side note: all this talk about Kucinich...and NOT A SINGLE PICTURE of his screaming hot wife?!?! Fine...I'll go Google her myself.

Impeach Bush...It's the principle of the thing! Even if I had seen his tiny junk trying to penetrate pussy, I'd still want to see his spread in Playgirl, just so I could laugh at his vienna sausage and write mean letters about it. Useless chunk of Spam-brained scum. Impeach him!

Impeach him to disgrace him like he disgraced the US. A dishonorable discharge

I support it. If nothing else it puts an official stamp on the bullshit he has put this country through.

Waste of time. It's time to focus on setting things straight, not revenge. Anger never solved a single problem. Neither did revenge. We can only change the future. So why not focus on that?

It's kind of like humiliating a homeless person - although redundant, it brings a little sunshine to my day. Either way, Kucinich has that "he broke my diorama before I could enter it in the science fair" tone in his voice which only begs to be mocked/ignored.  Damn. Kucinich DOES have a hot wife. How much you think he paid for that? I bet the maintenance costs on that thing are through the roof.

New rule: there will be no more talk of Presidential junk here. Ever.

Better watch your tongue, Mr. work visa.  :P
 
@MovieWhore
Wouldn't it be better if we just let Obama actually drop kick him out the front door of the White House? That would be awesome.
 
@Sansra
Your comment nearly nails my personal philosophy verbatim but unfortunately, common sense tends to take a back seat in US politics.

I think a drop kick out the front door of the White House is good enough. If they actually want to try to impeach him now, they really should have done this several years ago, seems like a waste of time at this point. It seemed like a waste of time impeaching Clinton for that matter. But I would support an impeachment if they could actually get enough backing from impotent members of the House of Representatives, which there appears to be many who likely stalled the process throughout both of his terms.

I just feel a sense of deja-vu. Not that he doesn't deserve to be impeached, but it sounds like revenge for the repubes ( I like that!) going after Clinton.. I'm just glad he's outta there soon.
