If we elected a Moron, would that make US Morons?
Sometimes when I post this stuff, I imagine The Decider-in-Chimp complaining to Rove or Gonzales that this is illegal and that such people must be arrested. I wonder how many times someone has had to remind the frat boy - sympathetically - that it is [...]

According to Rocky Anderson, in this radio interview on the Peter B. Collins show, “The New York Times” didn’t even cover last weeks, (albeit disguised), impeachment hearing, and the “Washington Post” published it’s second snarky article by Dana Milbanks about representative John Conyer’s attempts to cast light on the war crimes of the Bush administration [...]

Mike Pence carried the water for the Bush administration in this hearing. Early on he quotes the Constitution on impeachment and concludes, “no one has accused the president of treason.”
He’s wrong. I do accuse this president of treason because he has admitted treason through words and actions. He should hang.

Rocky was great also in subsequent testimony. This session lasted SIX HOURS!
Here are more segments of the hearing.
The last hour of the hearing was the most compelling argument for why we MUST impeach Bush to save the Constitution…literally.

Thanks, Raw Story. The House Judiciary Committee has released a witness list for its hearing on the impeachment of President George W. Bush.
Late Thursday afternoon, the committee released the full witness list, broken down into two panels.
Panel One
The Honorable Dennis Kucinich, Representative from Ohio

We don’t actually need any more evidence of Bush administration crimes, but today the American Civil Liberties Union released more anyway. Previously top secret memos obtained by the ACLU reveal more of the bizarre, perverse and disingenuous legal theories that Justice Department lawyers tried to use to justify torture of detainees. From Raw [...]

Everyone except a few bloggers has probably forgotten, if they ever knew, that last April Barack Obama made a half-hearted pledge to prosecute at least some of the crimes committed by the Bush administration. In response to a question from a DailyKos blogger, he answered carefully:
What I would want to [...]

The House of Representatives usually takes Fridays off, but the leadership considers the impeachment of President George W. Bush to be such a high priority that the Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing is scheduled for Friday, July 25. /snark
Except that Chairman John Conyers isn’t calling it an impeachment hearing, despite the fact that this [...]

The good news: House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers will convene an impeachment hearing at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 25th. The hearing will address abuses of power by the Bush administration.
The bad news: This hearing has been described as “preliminary” and “informational.” As Rep. Conyers put it, “We’re not doing impeachment, but [...]

Anybody who is over a hundred years old, and as bewildered as I am about why a cover for “The New Yorker” has caused a controversy among Barack Obama supporters and even evades a decent comment from Obama himself, might get a kick out of this post. This cover, which portrays Obama dressed in Muslim [...]

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said this morning that the House Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on an impeachment resolution offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH).

Daily Kos: Impeachment On the Edge of the Table

Barack Obama promised “change,” and he has delivered on that promise. We wanted Obama to change Washington, and instead he’s inexplicably changing his policy positions to accommodate the Bush administration and the far right. The most immediate problem: a proposal to make unconstitutional changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Senator [...]
