Impeachment Circus

Okay, this is pretty funny, and a great example of pure politics!

The Democrats in the House proposed a bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. It was championed by Dennis Kucinich, who is a Democrat presidential candidate and self-admitted UFO-spotter. Not thinking it had a chance to pass, the Democrats trumpeted it and talked tough about cracking down on Cheney. In a surprise move, the Republicans in the House (led by John Shadegg) voted to let the bill go forward to an actual debate to make the Dems look bad.

Whoa, boy!

Many Dems changed their vote at the last minute, scrambling to avoid having to go on record on the issue. Ultimately, the issue was sent to a committee, where it sounds like it will remain, effectively killing the bill.

Isn't it fun to watch a bluff get called? And you thought politics was boring! ;)

There's my two cents.
