Kucinich Won't Back Down

Ohio congressman and Dem presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is on a roll, and he won't back down. After months of calling for the impeachment of Darth Cheney and having those calls fall on deaf ears -- at least at the congressional level; the people are behind him -- it looks like he's pretty much had it.

On Tuesday he will introduce a "privileged resolution" calling for the House of Representatives to bring impeachment proceedings against VP "Shooter" Cheney.

A privileged resolution is one that pretty much jumps to the head of the line and gets voted on by the full House, without having to slog through committee arguments and having weakening compromises stuffed into it.

So once Kucinich introduces it, let's all contact our representative and tell them that we want them to vote YES on this important resolution.

There's an old saying that if you cut off a dog's tail, it will live; if you cut off its head, it will die. Well, I've long held that VP Crashcart was the one really pulling the strings for Prezdint Pinocchio, so if we get rid of him we'll be well on the road to national recovery. Baby Doc will have to appoint a "moderate Republican" (if that's not an oxymoron these days...) to replace him.

And that will leave the field open for the next round of impeachment proceedings. I haven't quite yet given up hope that the Dems will finally say "enough is enough!" and do the right thing.
