Denny K launches yet another impeachment bid; Pelosi opens the door

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 10, 2008 01:52 PM

Gotta feed those nutroots, I guess. It’s been a month since Dennis Kucinich’s last House floor stunt and they need some nourishment. He obliges today.

Just received his latest e-mail to his cult:

Impeachment on the House floor TODAY

Dear Friends,

Congressman Dennis Kucinich will present a single Article of Impeachment to the House of Representatives sometime between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm (EDT) today, Thursday, July 10th.

A press conference will be held today at the Cannon HOB Terrace at 2pm (EDT)

Sessions of the House of Representatives are broadcast live on C-SPAN (check your local cable listings for channel) and streamed live via the Internet (www.cspan.org).

The article of Impeachment will deal directly with President Bush fraudulently obtaining support for an attack on Iraq by creating a false case for war. Full details of the Article of Impeachment will be available after they are read on the floor of the House by Congressman Kucinich.

Please spread the word and continue to circulate the online petition that Congressman Kucinich will personally present to members of Congress.

Thank you.
Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi backpedals on her pledge to keep impeachment “off the table.” Promises, schmomises.

Via USAT, hat tip - Will Amos:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters this morning that the Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on an impeachment resolution that Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, is pushing against President Bush.

“This is a Judiciary Committee matter, and I believe we will see some attention being paid to it by the Judiciary Committee,” Pelosi says, according to The Politico. “Not necessarily taking up the articles of impeachment because that would have to be approved on the floor, but to have some hearings on the subject.”

“My expectation is that there will be some review of that in the committee,” she adds.

    I love it when someone from Congress talks about how low Bush’s approval ratings have gone when their’s are at least 10 points lower than his.

    Now this is theater! It’s an election year. Nancy’s seat in Congress is being challenged by Cindy Sheehan, and while Cindy has lost some of her anti-war luster, Nan doesn’t want to take any chances with her career, especially since she’s been discriminated against because of her gender. Denny’s seat is on the moon. He is being challenged by terrestrials. What will happen next?

    How about Iraq lost, agreed to a seize fire, then violated that seize fire. So what did Bush do but CONTINUE the war, after going through congress and the UN. I wish these guys would at least get their own facts straight.

    I called my extremely liberal congress person (I did ot vote for them) to ask them to tell Congressman Kucinich to sit down and hush up. Usually the person answering the phone takes at least my zip code, this time the only answer I got was, “Yes Sir”, click.

    All of this foolishness and folly reminds me of a bunch of 5th graders talking, what they might call, smack on the play ground trying to impress some friend. But it is good, if you are a conservative. It is always good to see how low these mindless tad polls will go to attract a little attention.

    Congressman Kucinich, GET A JOB!!!!

    Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee

    I’m sorry. I’m confused by Democrats, as usual. Why is his re-election troll publishing this notice and not a congressional staffer? Good news though. I think this is one of many indications that the dems are not as much in the cat bird seat as they may think come November.

    I think that’s precisely why Pelosi is letting Kucinich run with his little charade — he serves as a distraction.

    This is a preview, however, of what will be in store for this country if the donkeys able to realize their long-term objective of trading in our Republic for a one-party dictatorship:

    First, create conditions to make elections meaningless (e.g., ACORN-style voter registration fraud, using state courts in places like Florida, New Jersey and Washington to “interpret” election laws into oblivion and help donkeys steal elections, and Algore and Christine Gregoire inspired “keep counting until we win” efforts to overturn legitimate election results).

    Second, criminalize their political opposition. Beginning with George Bush, I predict, this will extend into efforts to prosecute Republicans for “political crimes” even after they’ve left office.

    Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao must all be laughing in Hell right now while Huey Long delivers the punchline to the joke:

    “… And just like when fascism comes to America it’ll call itself ‘anti-fascism,’ the death of the American republic will be brought about by a collection of proto-totalitarians referring to themselves as ‘Democrats!’”

    This is rich! We, as citizens, cannot hold politicians to promises made during political campaigns. This means they can, and do, lie their funny little tails off, with impunity.

    Now, these idiotic hypocrites want President Bush embarrassed by impeachment? They truly have no souls, nor consciences. In the end, none of this will matter. They will destroy what’s left of our forefathers legacy, and bring the country to ruin…with their glee in their black hearts.

    I have a question for any Constitutional lawyer out there…if the House desires to impeach both the POTUS, and VPOTUS, does the Speaker of the House have to recuse him/herself from any such proceedings (note: in the case of both positions being impeached at the same time), since that position is next in line to ascend? Just curious.

    Written by: Jack Kelly
    Thursday, 10 July 2008

    …Few American newspaper readers learned that on Saturday the last of 550 metric tons of yellowcake was shipped from Iraq to a firm in Canada. Yellowcake is milled uranium oxide, the raw material from which nuclear bombs are made.

    According to Norman Dombey, professor of theoretical physics at the University of Sussex in England, the yellowcake shipped from Iraq was enough to make 142 nuclear bombs. Apparently, Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons program was rather more than a figment of Dick Cheney’s fevered imagination….

    Jack Kelly is a former Marine and Green Beret and a former deputy assistant secretary of the Air Force in the Reagan administration. He is national security writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

    That’s OK. They’ll just retroactively impeach him, and re-write the history books so that Algore won in 2000, with his stellar leadership as President leading to his Academy Award and Nobel prize.
