Kucinich Goes Looney! Hoyer Shuts Him Down!

J.J. Jackson* | November 8, 2007 

It’s moonbat versus moonbat! Dennis “So cuckoo I see UFOs” Kucinich tried to get the impeachment of Vice President Cheney off the ground again!

On a day intended for moving long-overdue annual spending bills, the House instead spent a good chunk of yesterday wrangling over an entirely different endeavor: a motion to impeach Vice President Cheney.For more than six months, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), a long-shot presidential candidate, has labored to bring to a vote his plan to send the vice president packing. Kucinich says Cheney lied to Americans in the run-up to the Iraq war, chiefly about evidence that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

But yesterday, the antiwar liberal’s seemingly quixotic effort drew unexpected support from Republicans, who saw a golden opportunity to engage Democrats in a debate on the issue.

Kucinich’s rambling, 18-page resolution bristles with citations of Cheney’s public comments justifying the war. “The best option to prevent an unnecessary war with Iran,” he said, “is to impeach the Vice President, the lead cheerleader of the war” in Iraq.
“The Constitution has been under attack by this administration,” Kucinich told an reporter during the vote, and his effort is “part of a growing movement” to defend it.

“This isn’t about my campaign,” he said. “This isn’t a Democratic-Republican issue.”

But it became a partisan issue yesterday once Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) moved to table Kucinich’s resolution. Hoyer and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have said they will not back such symbolic gestures, for fear of burnishing Congress’s current do-nothing image.

Kucinich’s move had some strange support from Republicans who blocked the initial move to table the motion and asked that it be brought up for a vote. Why? Because so many Democrats talked about Saddam and his WMDs BEFORE George Bush was ever even President!

Talk about an awkward situation that would have to be investigated!

But in the long run Hoyer was able to scuttle the resolution and send it into committee where it, much like Kucinich’s brain already has, will die.

Want to talk about high crimes and misdemeanors Mr. Kucinich? Trust me, you don’t! How many times have you voted to give powers to the Federal Government above and beyond those assigned in the Constitution? Huh?

Not much of a “higher crime” than violating the Constitution there bub!
