Impeachment: The stage production
If you think the impeachment circus is finished, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Screenwriter Richard Lasser and constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein have written an impeachment play that will debut in Washington, D.C. at George Washington U. when Congress returns from Christmas vacation. They’ve been meeting with moonbat lawmakers and contacting celebrities to cast and perfect the January 2 production. Dennis Kucinich is the casting director.
According to Lasser, Denny K has “forwarded copies to Sean Penn, Ed Asner, Hector Elizondo and Ed Begley, Jr.” All-star, baby.
Good news is: If they can’t get any actors to pitch in, they can always use giant puppets.
Liz Mair e-mails a heads-up that Republican congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina is involved in this left-wing theater of the absurd–on stage (he’ll be portrayed as one of characters conducting the trial of George Bush) and in real life. Note this report from September on Lasser’s blog:
Last week in Washington DC, highly-sought after constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein took me to meet with Jerrold Nadler, (D New York) and Walter Jones (R North Carolina), two Congressmen highly critical of the President’s illegal and unconstitutional activities. In an interview adjoining House Chambers, Congressman Nadler and I discussed what sorts of questions he would ask in a hypothetical trial and what arguments the defense might advance. His questions would be devastating if he ever got Bush on the witness stand (which actually happens in the play!) In Congressman Jones’ office, the soft-spoken Southern gentleman suggested questions he would ask, helping me with this aspect of the play. He indicated he would enthusiastically support the impeachment resolution…
Jones was one of four Republicans in favor of sending Kucinich’s resolution to the House Judiciary Committee.
Lasser explains the title of the impeachment play, “I”:
“I” of course, stands for impeachment. But more importantly, it is the personal pronoun that refers to each one of us. And unless each of us puts pressure on Congress to impeach President Bush, it just won’t happen. As Bush states in the play: “450,000 telegrams told President Nixon he was wrong. 2,000,000 phone calls demanded action. No one’s contacted me except Jenna to tell me she was getting married.”
Not only has Bush committed impeachable crimes; not only has Congress been complicit; but you and I, unless we put pressure on Congress, will bear the ultimate blame. The only way Congress will act is if we make them. That’s the purpose of “I” — to create such a groundswell of publicity that they must act or risk getting humiliated, or even voted out of office for failing to heed the will of all the “I’s” in America.
“Idiotarian” starts with “I,” too.

Idiot also starts with an “I”.
Well, aren’t we a little full of ourself?
You can’t impeach a dictator. Just kidding… or am I?
The constitution specifically places the conduct of foreign relations in the hands of the President, with the senate having the responsibility to ratify treaties. When San Fran Nan went to Syria last summer to conduct “meetings” with the dictator Bashir Al Assad she violated U.S. law and usurped the powers of the presidency. This is an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. Where are the calls for HER impeachment?
I is for
Insolence, Ignorance, Immature, Illegal, Irrelevant, Irreverent, Institutionalized. Oh wait, am I doing a Durst here?
“I“ncompetent
“I“nsane
I think the President should be impeached for lying to our troops and misleading them into a war that was not for the reasons he said it was. I feel so bad for our troops who were told they are in Iraq to find WMDs and the people responsible for 9/11.
It pains me to say this, as a Christian and former supporter of the President.
They’re full of something alright!! I bet Lasser has brown eyes and not for the same reason I do.
Here’s two words to derail the impeachment process: President Cheney
Indeed.
“Inane” also starts with “I”.
#9 – Agreed!
“I” can’t believe they won’t just let this die.
JimM you took the words out of my mouth…
Obviously, the media adoring congressional Idiots are hoping that they can provide the ‘evidence’ of impeachment via staging a play.
I can see why Bush wouldn’t want to waste the people’s money trying SanFran Nan on her treasonous and impeachable visit. I just wish for once, he would grow some strong ones and fight back.
Let’s get the RINO’s out of office. Rep. Jones can make his acting debut in this play, and maybe he’ll go to hollywood and leave DC..
Ignominious, Imbecilic, Immature and Insignificant Ingrate
The “I’s” have it …
southernboy: blecch!
feebie: DITTO!!
Ignoramus starts with an “I” too, as does imbecil.
I guess the I’s have it in this case.
I G N O R E
H I M
Do we need to go through all of this – AGAIN?
If they impeached presidents for this, all of them would have been impeached. This does not fall under the “high crimes and misdemeanors” necessarry to impeach.
Alot of generals would have gotten court martialed too.
Give it up southernboy.
Iconoclastic, Ignorant, Idiocy, Impervious, Irritating and Igloo. (OK, the last one was just for fun.)
PS. I know some HW writers looking to sing for their supper….maybe I could broker a deal for a little side cash for the Soldiers Angels Foundation….
Well, they would have to now wouldn’t they.
sorry…..was I feeding it?
Aren’t these moonbats ever going to grow up and actually try to do something productive?A play about impeachment?Oh,boy,that will teach those mean old Conservatives a thing or two.I’ll bet Cheney is hiding under his bed at the thought of it.This fits right in with the Columbia hunger strike,in its potential effectivness.Hey Libs,noone gives a rat’s a$$ about your sophomoronic attempts at making a name for yourself.Didn’t Janenne Garofolo teach you idiots anything?When she was working,some people noticed,where is she now that she tried to be important? Morons.
It’s always fun watching someone find a way to make money off of the useful idiots in this country.
I’m sure they’ll flock to the play and pay a premium to see it. Then they’ll trot on out to their BMW, Mercedes, and Volvo SUV’s and drive over to some Global Warming related reception somewhere.
#20 – I remember on the Muppet Show, when a skit went sideways and they would get pulled off stage left with a walking cane….
hmmmmm..
Southernboy,do yourself a favor.Enlist and find out for yourself or go the rest of your life saying what if.
I guess this dude isn’t reading Variety or Hollywood Reporter lately about the failure of Bush-bashing flicks. Oh well. He’ll learn…the hard way.
Good one, On-my-soap-box! ROFLMAO
Like with a bunch of botched votes reloving around impeachment?
you just blacked out when they listed all the OTHER reasons for invasion, didn’t you.
#29 – no oxygen to the brain = (selective) memory loss. Probably was one of those goopy faced little spoiled kids that when he didn’t get his way …he’d just hold it until he passed out.
I am getting the impression that is what is happening between his posts…
Mega-Ditto #’s 14 & 15!
My dictionary defines “lie” as making a statement that one knows as false. That implies that you have to know the truth before you can lie. And I have yet to find a credible source that states unequivocally that the U.S. (and other intelligence agencies elsewhere) knew there were NO WMDs. Hence no truth, no lie.
And the “urban myth” continues that we went to Iraq to find the perpetrators of 9/11. I can’t believe that misinformation continues to be circulating and believed by anyone.
Posted on another thread but it needs to be here as some of you missed it.
Concerning s-boy a.k.a. Moby-boy:
You guys are great, I luv ya, and there are some great posts. You have neglected to translate your awesome thoughts into trollish dribble. In essence, you are wasting your time. You are giving ammo to a plant that will use all of your insightful posts and call it “Christian bashing” and “bigotry” on the KOS sight. Just my humble opinion.
Southernboy,
Why don’t you click the heels of your ruby red slippers and go back home.
Southernboy, I’m gonna explain it to you the same way I just got done explaining it to a confused Brit on another blog…
Blah,blah,blah…WMD…blah,blah…Saddam….blah, blah, blah…whatever.
Bottom line is this: Due to our government being asleep at the wheel and ignoring Islamic extremists repeatedly telling us and showing us over the previous 15 years or so that they wanted to kill all of us, we got our ass handed to us on a platter on 9/11 because we did not take them seriously.
So then the president does the smart thing: he takes the fight to them. Look, these whackjobs are not going to just go away. They have proven that they want to kill you, they want to kill me, and they are willing to come here if they can to do it.
Going into Iraq did accomplish one thing that you are not thinking about — it created a “front” on which to fight the war that was not in a mall or playground near you. That, to me, was smart.
If we gotta fight these extremists (and yes, we do, ’cause you dang sure wouldn’t like the state of things if they were in charge), then I much rather the carnage be on their home turf than on mine.
Somehow , I think the Clinton impeachment would be more profitable . Smut sells after all.
On a more sinister note : http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117972593.html?categoryid=14&cs=1
Scheduled to be released just before the election and starring Socialista Kevin Spacey.
Fair and balanced ?
Probably not .
Live to tell – LOL!
There is one movie that will keep you on your seat.
“It’s a hanging chad, it’s a hanging chad! That counts as two votes for us!”
“Oh, look, this person voted twice and both times it was for us”
Pass
#35 — there’s no place like KOS, there’s no place like Kos….
MissMarciLyn
Redeems herself – LOL
Last week it was Cheney, this week Bush – what is Congress to do? Well, they might try doing to job they were elected to do. Not mind-numbing hearings, bringing up the same bills for vote – over, & over again. Standing in front of cameras bloviating, making threats toward private citizens, and sticking their noses in issues of the State Dept.. For failure to fulfill thier duties as promised by their oath, I suggest we impeach all but about 5% of them.
yeah, i bet they make the Gorical look intelligent, suave, sophisticated and bush an idiot cowboy..
missmarcilyn, LOL.. LOL.. that is too funny
Soap — I can but try!
5% seems a bit modest 24. but at this point, I’ll take it.
Klady,
Fire them all and let the secretary’s have their jobs. This country will be running smoothly on 10% of the budget.
My mom coulda’ done it! GOD, I miss her.
It’s dangling chad. You don’t want some guy named Chad to accuse you of a hate crime.
ROFLMAO.. concerned citizen…correct, always being PC..we don’t want to be accused of insighting(sp) a hate crime..
I repeat: WHATEVER!
Hasn’t he forwarded any copies to Naomi Campbell? Someone has to play Condi.
“I” is for I wish they would give sanity tests to people running for office. Though in way, running is probably a clue.
uhangtight,
Yeah, I’ve been meaning to have a word with you about your name…
I thought the Dems were the pro-union party. What are they doing sponsoring a production written by a scab? And they’re trying to get those actors to cross the picket lines. Disgraceful.
#4 – I think Pelosi should be removed from office simply for wearing that stupid scarf….disappointed Laura B. thought it was some kind of fashion statement and got one too.
#35 — now you’ve gotten me singing Wizard of Oz songs in my head!!
(to the tune of “Merry Old Land of Oz”)
Whine – Whine – Whine, Boo – hoo – hoo -
And a couple of “I hate God!”s
That’s how they b*tch the day away,
In the Moonbatty Land of Kos!
Snark – snark – snark, carp – carp – carp,
And a couple of “George Bush SUCKS!!”
That’s how the Kossacks b*tch all day,
In the Moonbatty Land of Kos!
“Groundswell of publicity”? oh please.
Never let it be said that Liberals lack in egotism or self-image.
the real problem with Liberals is that each individual Liberal tthinks that if they feel or think something, that obviously everyone else in the country does too. To find out otherwise leaves them slack-jawed and wide-eyed, unable to comprehend the situation. The thought process is, “How can you NOT be for impeachment?” They never once see what something like that would do to this country in the eyes of the rest of the world, to or economy, to our soldiers that they so strongly support, to the judiciary, to the Constitution or anything else. Since they operate off of pure emotion, all they care about it how it makes them feel; if it makes them feel good to imagine Bush being “frog-marched” out of the Oval Office, then obviously everyone would feel that way too and after all, it is more important and better to feel good than actually have good things occur.
What modern day Liberals are, are the end result of all the mind-altering drugs either ingested by themselves, or their parents. The children of “The Greatest Generation” were spoiled beyond belief by parents who endured the Depression and a global war where 50 million people were slaughtered. Their parents never wanted their children to want for anything, and thus the entitlement mentality was born, leading to hippies, yippies and dippies, tuning in, turning on, dropping out and spitting on the very tenents that their parents fought so hard for. unfortunately, eventually they did start to run the country, as well as breed. thus you have he wannabe hippies you see today. They try to use the same slogans, posters and tactics their parents used when they marched in protest to Nixon and the Vietnam war, trying to hold on to what Hollywood and the media over-glamorized. Thank God that there are X-Geners like myself and others here and elsewhere who knew better. We were able to grow up being influenced by Reagan and seeing the evils of Liberalism, accept personal responsibility and refused to adhere to the spoiled brats that are the Baby Boomers and Me Gens.
Now, obviously if there are Baby-Boomers here or Me Geners, I am excluding you from this analogy. It only relates to the Liberals and NOT the Conservatives.
This is why they are so into this whole Impeachment thing. They have wanted to impeach a Republican President ever since they failed to impeach Nixon. Every time a Republican is in the White House, calls for impeachment will echo troughout the land. Then, when we successfully impeached their false god for his lies and intimidation in court, that only incensed them into revenge instead of just nostalgia.
This play is just the latest in a series of events in their misguided view of poiics and the geo-political landscape. they will never be able to comprehend the complexities of the world, nor the enemies we face. They are too involved with trying to relive the bygone era of the Sixties, or trying to reinvent it since it looks so cool in the movies. Totally a pathetic way of life, but you just can’t tell them anything.
This is almost too unreal to believe. But I guess truth is often stranger than fiction, huh?
Wonder if there’ll be any extra-terrestrials cast?
I’m sorry, but that should be nominated for a Tony!
MissMarciLyn – I think I love you – LOL.
I hear the writers are on strike. You need a job?
Try humming the theme from Green Acres. That will replace any song you have stuck in your head.
Then again, Maybe you could write a musical called I, with I meaning the person who’s responsible for taking care of one’s self, instead of the government and also accepting blame, rather than being a permanent victim.
Hell, I’d buy a ticket to see that!
aw shucks, soap, you’re making me blush!
#56….now THERE’S an IDEA!!
LOL COncerned #45. No pregnant chad as well.
Bush has become the entire focus of the left’s hatred.
W ain’t a person to them, he’s a metaphysical force for evil, and when he leaves office, so will their whole raison d’etre.
They’ve built him up to be the worst president (hell, the worst person, period) EVER, so whoever comes next has to be an improvement in their eyes.
Hysteria can only keep you going for so long. The left is close to the point of emotional exhaustion.
’08 means bye-bye W, and regardless of the electoral stakes, his departure will be quite cathartic. In a bad way.
Leftist politics since 2003 has been one big homage to the Vietnam era. This time, however, the smelly counter-culturalist failed to nail their “Nixon.”
Oh, the shame.
Impeach and remove Bushalliburtonhitler and Cheney and isn’t San Fran Nan the President designate?
I live right in middle of BDS country in Palm Beach county Florida. I have given up pointing out Dem leaders’ own words calling for attacking Iraq prior to Iraq war and even well before Bush ran for Prez in ’00.
Some seriously deranged people out there on the far left and whatever political wing supports the likes of Ron Paul. I mean you have those who continue to sport Gore/Lieberman stickers on nearly new cars. The Supreme court selected Dubya, etc.
And the so-called Independents are bombarded daily with a litany of media lies. Many thoughtless/less than bright people accept whatever the papers or ABC/NBC/CNN present.
I can really appreciate what Lincoln and Gen. Sherman endured from the traitorous press during Civil War.
Anyway I for one won’t spend one cent on Hollywood’s sedition and treason. What is the genesis of mass intellectual dishonesty? And why can’t people see from history how screwed up their ideas really are?
I also think trolls like southern boy might feel more at home at DU/Daily KOS and Huffington.
The theme from Gilligan’s Island does it for me!
OK, enough politics for awhile. time to slaughter Orcs. WOW awaits. See ya’s laterz.
and in the case of Pelosi Galore, slack-jawed and botoxed.
gollumclone,
I live in PBC as well. No need to worry, the illegals will replace the lefties before too long. They’re halfway there.
BTW, I was here in 2000 and I used that ballot. It was clear as day what hole you were punching.
Does he need a step-stool to get up into that webbed-canvas-backed chair they use?
Seriously – we’ve got talk about Oz, we’ve got a Munchkin-politician /director, and we’ve got a few new contributors since my last time posting, who should be singing “If I only had a brain”…
Ahhhh…”Somewheeere…Over the Rainbowww…”
“Auntie Nan! Auntie Nan! There’s all sorts of people lining the streets in leather and latex and chains”
“Leather and latex and chains! Oh My!”
“Fear not, little one…tis only the Folsum Street Fair.”
Oh man, I really need to punch out for the day…
Please, not on the rug!! *snicker*
If President Bush and VP Cheney were both impeached (heaven forbid), wouldn’t this make Pelosi leader of the free world? I think we may have just found her motivation…she’d be able to claim herself as the first woman US president…man that would piss off Billary.
Bear,
Gald you didn’t call her GaWhore like I do. Citizen would be all over you about the PC thingy – LOL
Image: Bear1909 rewriting Dennis “Love Child” Kucinich’s play.
…and then a group of raging carnie people break into the courtroom, dress the casting director up as a weenie dog pinata and whack him silly. When they find out there isn’t any candy to be had they show him what real doggies do to fire hydrants.
Kucinich is a disgrace and deserving of so much worse.
Same here Citizen. Mine was easy to read as I remember – all Republicans (so it probably didn’t get counted).
That’s on her mailbox.
that’s the problem, about the progressives, they keep wanting the past to be their reality: Vietnam and Impeachment Cry for Nixon. They are nostalgic for their 60′s radical agenda.
Funny, how can they get away with being called progressive when they consistently dream and live in their past ‘victories’?
RetFireman is right, whenever there is a Republican in office they will cry impeachment. They will deny the legitimacy of the Republican President in any way they can. When Hillary loses in November 08, look for them to cry fraud.
Sometimes I wonder if southernboy ( and his mealy mouthed ilk) have been living in the same world I have as he continues to parrot the WMD whine and belatedly second guess every decision the administration has made, all the while wrapping himself in righteous forgiveness of us pore pitiful Neanderthals and spouting irrelevant Gospel lessons.
#68 LC, I think Pelosi just wants to lay claim to Airforce ONE. That itty bitty tax-payer funded little thing she jetts around in now just doesn’t cut it.

silly me…
I’ll have you stand in the endzone at Lambeau this weekend and have Favre use it for target practice from 50 yards out.
Bear, were you holding him by his ears? They seem a little pointed now.
jrlingreenbay: uh, i’ll string it up to the goal posts. Don’t wanna be in the way of that rocket armed phenom!
John A: actually i was giving him a perma-wedgie. Them ears are from his daddy Leonard Nimoy. Thass why I call Dennis “Love Child” Kucinich. You don’t wanna know who his mama is!
Live long and prosper.
The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few… or the one.
Unless you’re a liberal. Then screw the many – let’s cater to that few….

pssst…hey, guys. i’ve checked around, and it would appear as though…yes, i think so…
The troll has left the Posting….
He’s reporting back to Kos.
That was the problem CC!
Or maybe troll went to get in line early for the play.
The first 25 in line get a tinfoil hat.
LOL #87.
Socialist followers exploiting a capitalist system to earn money to promote what? Oh yeah! To promote their socialist agenda. And they really believe they are sane and rational! Perhaps “I” should be for the incandescent lighting needed to navigate the windswept barren plains where their brains surely still reside somewhere?
$10 says bear is working on a play/skit for this post…
Some sort of parody to A Midsummer Night’s Dream
with Dennis as one of the elves or even better…the hobgobblin, Puck.
#90 Feebz,make that Dennis as Puke
and don’t forget, I is for imbecile (as in IQ of 25-50)
The new play will be entitled: “I, Carnie”.
An explosive look at Carnies in Congress as they impeach the only effective President in a generation, who ran the table in the Middle East and laid the foundation for a new era.
See how these height challenged gerbil-like agitants try to remove the sitting President using his accomplishments in a theater of war to hang him high.
Listen to their searing logic as botox literally runs out of their noses as they prosecute the Most Powerful Man in the Free World.
You will be taken over by the audacity of our Carnies in Congress.
