Ha! I finally have a post worthy of the title!

I do hope "off the table" Pelosi is paying attention to this:

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Monday moved another step - actually several thousand of them - toward carrying out her promise to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because the California Democrat won’t consider impeachment proceedings against President Bush.

Sheehan and about 200 other war protesters began walking from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol Hill office of Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, where any impeachment proceedings would begin. Sheehan said she would ask Conyers to initiate impeachment proceedings against both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

“Impeachment is not a fringe movement, it is mandated in our Constitution; Nancy Pelosi had no authority to take it off the table, ” Sheehan told her group of orange-clad activists Monday. “If Nancy Pelosi doesn’t do her constitutionally mandated job by midnight … I will announce that I’m going to run against her.”


And from Conyers:

Now, let me close with this one suggestion, is that I need some Members of Congress to come to me and say Mr Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I heard you were out in San Diego, and they really put it to you, and you made commitments that we don’t know if you were just saying… saying something to get out of that hotel alive (laughter) or were you, or were you serious and here’s what we need to do. We need to have three Members of Congress from anywhere come and say, “Congressman, if you, if you are willing to support an inquiry into a resolution of whether there had been acts of impeachability conducted by the Vice President of, and the President of the United States, that could lead to High Crimes and Misdemeanors, then we will join you if you introduce such a resolution”

I don't get it. You'd think that Bush would almost *welcome* impeachment so he could prove to the world that he was right.

Unless he *knows* he's so full of shit that his eyes are deep brown and his ego/pride/teeny-weenie can't handle the thought that he screwed up royally.

Unless Nancy is trying to avoid the distraction and focus the media circus where it belongs. Getting our people home NOW.

I wish I could believe Pelosi was actually doing this to provide ammunition politically elsewhere, but alas, I don't. Nobody but Russ Feingold seems interested in actively doing anything about the administration. I know that with the media firmly in the GOP camp it's going to be decidedly difficult to fight the spin, but jesus they could at least make an effort.
