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.
Exit stage left…

MM’s Blog makes me feel out of control on Fridays
I wish we had an audio chat. There is this new sound effects site…never mind.
whatchout…bear on the loose.
Bear #93, Gerbil, is Gere going to be in it?
John, something tells me bear might be saving good ol’ Gere for the sequel.
#96, Laugh out loud. Should we just refer to those types as Hillarys?
I actually think Michelle forgot to put up the full title of the play. It’s actually “I.O.U.”.
Gere. Feebz, I forgot him. There’s another one for the ol bucket.
Gere gets Gored in the sequel. “I, Carnie- Deux”. It’s in French.
For any who live near Asheville, NC, apparently Koocinich will be there on Sunday at the Malaprops bookstore at 6pm.
Wish I lived closer, and the Giants weren’t playing Dallas!
“I.O.U. Carnie” the plot thickens!
WilliamTeach: Bring your laptop and watch the game there with your headphones on, cheering wildly when your team goes over the top. (Cowboys or Giants?)

OT-
just listening to FOX news , it appears skankillary is taking a page out of FEMAS playbook with planted questions in the audience. student says she was approached with this and the question in question was a softballer regarding gorebal warming.
this is not a faux news alert
Magillary is to thin skinned to dance with the stars, I tell ya.
Pig in a pant suit. Cant change that.
Down in flames, soon…no chutes on board, pilots are asleep.
Memories of Sec. Brown.
ouch
I think Ragman was talking to Lasser, the moonbat Michelle was quoting in her original post. Not a troll, in other words.
HEY! I object to that! I raise pigs and they have never intentionally passed the buck, blamed me for being white, played the race card or (Insert your personal peeve here) me!
I understand her suits being in question, but be glad she does not wear a mini! Leave the poor pigs out of it PLEASE!
Besides, the scientific consensus is in and it is widely rumored to be true (Thus a consensus and not validated as a fact) that pigs DO have an IQ!
Indeed, moonbattery at its worst.
Trolls like southernboy know what the truth is. They just come around and make nonsense statements like that to get people riled up. Don’t. feed. the. trolls!
Jim C
Shouldn’t we implement a “Troll” Tax?
I won’t feed him. It looks like Bear, Feebs, AJ, DL, et al have beaten me to it. Great job to you all.
Long but good day.
$1 for every time Bush is equated to H*tler on Kos
Darnit, took me 20 minutes to read all this since I left a few hours ago, and another 20 minutes to figure out what the heck you’re talkin’ about.
And NOW, I’ve got OZ tunes running thru my head. Thanks.
.
Now, as for the “ignore the ignorant one”…
this troll of recent, is a rock. The rock that talks. The one that says “hey there’s an infidel over here, come kill him.” sent by Mo (pissbeuponhim).
Ignore the Rock, the rock that talks.
10 November 1775. Philadelphia, Pa. Tun Tavern. Happy Birthday, Devildogs. Michelle, join us at Cookies at 10th&Oregon in S.Philly. You know the spot. Semper Fidelis!
Prime Director:
Bush Derangement Syndrome is a result of the severe denial much of the Left is in. They’ll transfer it to the next President, if said President doesn’t buy into their derangement. Notice how Lieberman is treated.
BTW, the specific law that Pelosi et al have violated is the Logan Act
