I had the same thought. How do we make this happen? Obviously we need some time to inventory all the crimes he committed. Can we get both Dubya and Cheney on the chopping block atthe same time? Might save some tax dollars!

Even if they don't go to jail, can we stipulate that they still get raped by a burly convict? Please?

Don't get too cozy with any hopes for impeachment, folks. The apparent new speaker, Nancy Pelosi has already said she's not interested in pursuing it. As much as many of us would love to see Bush and Cheney experience Guantanamo themselves, it's really not going to be in the best interest of the demorats for shoring up any kind of lasting hold on power. Yesterday's vote is a rejection of the failures of Bush to be sure, but to say that most of America wants to see Bush impeached would be over reaching. A lot of America is still holding on to the idea that despite Bush's incompetence, he had the right idea. They want to give someone else a chance to do a better job. To go for the blood will certainly cause a blowback for the dems. The Democrats best chance at this point is to move ahead with the many important and real issues facing America rather than revenge: the war, the aging boomers, health care, the envireonment, energy, etc. If they move ahead in a productive fashion and can find common ground with center of the political spectrum they will do much better at re-establishing credibility with the people. If they get mired in vitriol and revenge, the people will see them as just more of the same in politics. Sorry, jpeg. Maybe you can hope for a censure or two.

(Jpeg didn't make this entry. But to chime in...)

Nancy Pelosi's assurances that the Dems wouldn't impeach were (before the election) calculated to appease those whose votes might be lost in fear of two years of stalemate, and (today) perhaps to wait until the political winds are right. There's no telling that later she may come across "new evidence that demands investigation."

I hope the Dems did fuck with the vote (to offset the GOP's slimey tricks) to get into power. I hope she's learned to lie. It would suggest the Dems learned how to play the game.

I don't care if another bill is passed for the next two years. it could be no worse than 6 years of Bush. The flow of legislated graft & facism must stop.
