House Narrowly Avoids Having to Debate Impeachment of Cheney

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sweep-it-under-the-committee-rug dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) yesterday successfully moved articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney to the House Judiciary committee. 'Today's resolution from Kucinich (D-Ohio) was essentially the same as the legislation he introduced earlier this year, which included three articles of impeachment against Cheney based largely on allegations that he manipulated intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. The last article accuses Cheney of threatening "aggression" against Iran "absent any real threat."'"

    So basically, house and senate have done the following this year:

    Said they would not give the war anymore money without a pull out date. Decided to "investigate" steriods in baseball(May of been last year, don't remeber). Burned a couple of hours trying to get approval to TALK about *maybe* impeaching the Vice President.

    And what were the results?

    The war is still going on, there is no pull out date.

    A few key players got free publicity for there books. Helped me waste 3 minutes writing a response on slashdot that will be modded to -35, for retard.

    God bless America.

    Hold up, here: He made false statements that helped send us to war, but he's not liable in any way because he didn't make them while under oath? Would he get away with shooting somebody, as long as he wasn't under oath?

    Actually, I guess he already did...

    There IS an alternative to shoot first & invent evidence later. We already tried "invent evidence & then shoot"... I just don't see any other options.

    Impeaching Bush without getting rid of Dick Cheney first would lead to total abolition of civil and human rights in the US. Even typing that revolted me.


    I attempted to quote you above, but something keeps happening to the bold text. Let me try again:

    Impeaching Bush without getting rid of Dick Cheney first would lead to imminentizing the eschaton. Even typing that revolted me.


    Okay, one more try:

    Impeaching Bush without getting rid of Dick Cheney first would lead to victory for Emperor Palpatine. Even typing that revolted me.


    I give up.
