LET THE IMPEACHMENTS BEGIN
This sounds like a smart tactical decision. 
Quote:
“After a series of delays, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), a candidate for president in 2008, announced a series of charges against Vice President Dick Cheney in Washington, DC, late in the day. Kucinich alleged that the Vice President had committed a series of impeachable offenses, and he was therefore introducing Articles of Impeachment against Cheney in the Congress today. Kucinich started off by reading the opening words of the Declaration of Independence, arguing they were 'instructive at this moment. Whenever any government official becomes destructive of the founding purposes, that official must be held accountable,' he said. Kucinich excoriated the Vice President who he called 'a driving force for taking us into war against Iraq under false pretenses, and is once again rattling sabers of war against Iran, with the same intent to drive America into war, again based on false pretenses.' The Ohio Congressman, who is running for president for the second time, noted three charges in his Articles of Impeachment, which were submitted as House Resolution 333. He also said that he was only introducing the resolution, and not going to try and persuade Members of Congress to join him 'I'm not promoting it,' he told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Situation Room. In a conference call with today, the Speaker went further, telling RAW STORY that 'President Bush was not worth it,' because impeachment proceedings would be a distraction from passing Democratic policies that would ensure the party's future political victory. But he added, 'It is very important that we start with Mr. Cheney because if we were to start with the President, Mr. Cheney would then become president. He also noted, 'We'd have to go through the constitutional agony of impeaching two presidents consecutively.'"

Dennis had better watch his back or Cheney might shoot him in the face. But what's with the Masonic secret number 33? Does that mean it's okay for Masons to vote for it? He's already been twice-convicted for DWI, so 3-strikes...

I'm going to take this opprotunity to (I can't believe I'm saying this) not say anything bad about Piratenews, and actually join him in the hope that this brings down that Dick, Cheney.

I wonder if the impeachment will even make the snews? Or is this Rupert Murdoch's plot to elect Hillary Clinton-Blythe Rockefeller?

Panel subpoenas Rice over Niger uranium claim
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A House committee Wednesday subpoenaed Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to find out what she knew about the 2003 claim that Iraq sought uranium from the African country of Niger.
The uranium claim, which President Bush made in his 2003 State of the Union address, was a key element in the administration's case for the invasion of Iraq.

This impeachment thing is starting to sound like Watergate, where dozens of White House employees went to prison. It started with the indictment and conviction of VP Judge Spiro Agnew by a STATE attorney general, no impeachment required... His crime? Extorting bribes.
Funny that Wikipedia censors Agnew from its Watergate page, when Agnew was VP during the crimespree.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate
"Agnew blamed Nixon for releasing the accusations of bribes and tax evasion in order to divert attention from the growing Watergate scandal that was engulfing Nixon's administration."

Yet another trial:

Leaked Secret Brit Report - 'Bush A Madman'
by Wayne Madsen, National Security Agency (NSA)
April 25, 2007 -- Senior British civil servant David Keogh. a former communications and cipher officer at Number 10 Downing Street, is on trial at London's Old Bailey, charged with violating the Official Secrets Act for leaking a classified report on an April 2004 meeting between George W. Bush and Tony Blair. The four page report referred to Bush as a "madman." Keough is accused of slipping the report to parliamentary assistant Leo O'Connor, who then allegedly made it available to anti-war MP Anthony Clarke. O'Connor is also on trial for violating the Official Secrets Act. The Blair government accuses Keough of leaking the document to influence the 2004 presidential elections, a clear indication that Blair was interested in seeing Bush defeat his Democratic challenger John Kerry. The trial is shrouded in secrecy, a move seen as an attempt not to embarrass an already-tainted Blair.

Well it seems the house of cards is beginning to wobble - I dunno about y'all, but I am concerned, cause you know, cornered rats bite.
I also worry that we might run up against a situation where you find em guilty, and they laugh in your face cause there's insufficient provision for handling the executive branch should they defy such a thing, as mentioned in the original Historical Trivia thread.
And an extra special dopeslap for Kooky, for being *politically* STUPID in this process, he could have pulled a lot more support from the conservative end of the spectrum and put Cheney on shakier ground if he had the sense to have kept his mouth SHUT about gun control for a week, cause now he's lost the support of the conservative NRA types, who would have originally supported him against Cheney.
Regardless of actual political stance, and barring any moral judgements whatsoever, it was a politically stupid thing to alienate a substantive chunk of the people you need to support a thing like this just before doing it.
So we'll see, but in the mean I can comfort myself with the thought that as long as they're kicking each others asses, they're not busy screwing us.
