Silly Moonbat Cheers Kookcinich Gimpeachment Resolution

From "White Noise Insanity", a moonbat blog...

Will Dennis Kucinich kick Dick Cheney’s ass today?

***Picture of moonbat protest sign which says "OFF WITH HIS HEAD", yet another threat against the president***

(my favorite protest sign at the Kennebunkport, Maine protest against Bush & Putin!)

Gawd I hope so! Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has rocked the House of Representatives today, because he brought forth his impeachment amendment against Dick Cheney. It was tabled immediately by Steny Hoyer, but then it occurred to the democrats that that was a move to protect the most vicious, vile, son of a bitch, Vice President we’ve ever had! Even the republicans are realizing they’ll be going on record in defense of this fascist, power hungry, asswipe!

***Picture of Cheney sleeping***

Some republicans changed their votes too. Ha ha.

As I write this: Kucinich’s amendment passed with a motion to reconsider.

I don’t know the procedure after this, but watch C-SPAN right now to find out! Woohoo!

Make the House go on record on who is for justice and who is for blocking, covering up for, and protecting Dick Cheney….America’s abomination to the abuse of power!


The moonbat seems to think that the motion to reconsider was a victory for her. Poor, deluded moonbat.

Kucinich’s resolution has now been moved to the Judiciary Committee to be voted on. It’s #40, here:

Even if it fails in the Judiciary Committee, House members were forced to either side with justice and what is right or side with Dick Cheney who would tell them to ‘fuck off’ on the floor of the House…breaking one more rule!


The moonbat continues in her comments section, still non the wiser that the House Dem leadership has just told her to "Fuck off".

Way to go Kay. At least you have a thread on Kucinich, the other blogs have let us progressives down!!!!!!

Go Kucinich. Wake up democratic voters. Kucinich is the obvious democratic choice for president if you want positive change in this country! No more NAFTA, no more WTO, he stands for we the people, he will uphold the constitution, he will get our troops out of Iraq! Kucinich is the man.

Kay I know you don’t like Ron Paul but God would it be beautiful to see Kucinich verses Paul for the presidency!!!!!


Actually, the other "progressive" bloggers were smart enough to know what a monumental defeat this was for them. Not so for dear Kay.

Woohoo Uncle! Exactly! Seems Kucinich stunned the whole entire House into silence. Bwa hahahahahahahaha! OMG, it was beautiful. I’ve never seen the House as quiet as the Senate before…ever.

It may not die in the House. This would be the perfect time for the democrats on the Judiciary Committee to bitch slap Pelosi into action! The republicans on the Judiciary Committee will continue to protect Evil, but that’s okay! At least they’ll be on record…again stating that.

By the way Boobiran, a good percentage of America believes in UFO’s, which are things people actually see in the sky but can’t identify what it is! Even the Budweiser slinging, gun toting, neocon, reich wingers down South believe in them. Ha ha. Those who believe in gawd are the weirdos!


Actually, Kay, Republicans would love for gimpeachment to pass the House. Watching House Gimpeachment Manager Dennis Kookcinich stumble, bumble, and fumble while racking his tiny little brain for an actual impeachabnle offense will lead to many a funny moment.

Love love love Dennis Kucinich. The world is watching. Are WE a democratic or fascist country now? Yesterday seemed hmmmm fascist. Steny and Chuck need to go back to the private sector. They are running the opposition party? Jokes



Test your theory. Go to the busiest place in your town and yell that the United States is a fascist country. If you are shot at, or taken to a re-education camp, you are indeed in a state of fascism. If you are laughed at, you're in a state of delusion.

Well, now I've done it. I've gone and linked to a moonbat blog. I guess they'll discover the link and I'll discover 'bat droppings when I come back.

Cowardly Dems Avoid Debate on Gimpeachment

From SFGate/AP:

House Democrats on Tuesday narrowly managed to avert a bruising debate on a proposal to impeach Dick Cheney after Republicans, in a surprise maneuver, voted in favor of taking up the measure.


Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on the resolution sponsored by longshot presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.


The anti-war Ohio Democrat, in his resolution, accused Cheney of purposely leading the country into war against Iraq and manipulating intelligence about Iraq's ties with al-Qaida.


The GOP tactics reversed what had been expected to be an overwhelming vote to table, or kill, the resolution.


Midway through the vote, with instructions from the GOP leadership, Republicans one by one changed their votes from yes — to kill the resolution — to no, trying to force the chamber into a debate and an up-or-down vote on the proposal.


At one point there were 290 votes to table. After the turnaround, the final vote was 251-162 against tabling, with 165 Republicans voting against it.


"We're going to help them out, to explain themselves," said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas. "We're going to give them their day in court."


Democrats countered by offering a motion to refer the proposal to the House Judiciary Committee for further study, effectively preventing a debate on the House floor. That motion passed by a largely party-line vote of 218-194.


They want to gimpeach, they really do, but they know it'll be the death of the Democrat Party.

Bush administration to be cartoon (so lame that you have to watch)

From CNN

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Comedy Central has ordered "Lil' Bush: Resident of the United States," a cartoon satire that re-imagines President Bush and key executives in his administration as elementary school misfits.

The title character is surrounded by close pals like Lil' Cheney, who grumbles unintelligibly, and Lil' Condi, who pines for Lil' Bush and does his homework for him.

"Bush" is not without its risque moments. When Lil' Bush's school serves falafel instead of hot dogs for lunch in one episode, he and his pals torture the cafeteria employees with methods made famous during the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.


And from YouTube:



How lame.

OMG!!!111oneoneone111!!! Chimpy is Indicted!!!111oneoneone111!!!

From Tom Dispatch:



Tomgram: Elizabeth de la Vega, Indicting Bush

Think of it as a Tomdispatch.com milestone. This is now the first website to "indict" the President, the Vice President, and their colleagues for defrauding us into war in Iraq. I put that "indict" in quotes because what follows, as former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega makes clear in her new book United States v. George W. Bush et al., is "not an actual indictment." It can't be, of course; but consider it the second best thing.

De la Vega has, in her career as a prosecutor, prepared numerous fraud indictments and, as she argued in the first excerpt from her book posted at Tomdispatch earlier this week, "A Fraud Worse than Enron," what George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their senior officials committed was a crime, not just in the colloquial sense of the word, but in the legal sense too (and not a victimless crime either). While their crime was of a magnitude that puts even Enron, no less run-of-the-mill fraud cases, to shame, it also has all the elements of a typical, small-time scam.

De la Vega's "hypothetical indictment" of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, and Colin Powell that you are about to read remains, unfortunately, in the realm of fantasy. But only for now. Until our world comes more fully to grips with the criminal nature of the Bush administration's acts, you can at least turn to the full de la Vega book. A Tomdispatch.com special project, produced in conjunction with Seven Stories Press, a wonderful independent publisher, it's officially published on December 1st (but available now).

You won't want to miss it. It's superbly done and -- though I hesitate to say it, given the nature of the subject matter -- genuinely enjoyable to read because De la Vega turns out to be as skilled a writer as she is a prosecutor, and applies both her talents to the book. So check out the indictment, read the first day of grand jury testimony (which will be posted at this site on Thursday), and in the meantime get the investigative ball rolling by purchasing the book at Amazon.com or, if you want to give all involved a few extra cents, directly at the Seven Stories website. After all, the excerpts at Tomdispatch can only give you a taste of the full case De la Vega makes. This book should be the political stocking-stuffer of the Holiday season. Tom


The Indictment
United States v. George W. Bush et al.
By Elizabeth de la Vega

Assistant United States Attorney: Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. We're here today in the case of United States v. George W. Bush et al. In addition to President Bush, the defendants are Vice President Richard B. Cheney, former National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice -- who's now the Secretary of State, of course -- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

It's a one-count proposed indictment: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371. I'll explain the law that applies to the case this afternoon, but I'm going to hand out the indictment now, so you'll have some context for that explanation. Take as long as you need to read it, and then feel free to take your lunch break, but please leave your copy of the indictment with the foreperson. We'll meet back at one o'clock.

INDICTMENT

THE GRAND JURY CHARGES:


Introductory Allegations

At times relevant to this Indictment:

1. The primary law of the United States Federal Government was set forth in the U.S. Constitution ("Constitution"), which provides that the first branch of government is the Legislative Branch ("Congress"). Pursuant to Article I, Section 8, Congress has certain powers and obligations regarding oversight of foreign affairs, including the powers to: (1) declare war; (2) raise and support the armed forces; and (3) tax and spend for the common good.

2. Article II of the Constitution establishes the Executive Branch. The Executive Power of the United States is vested in the President, who is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Services.

3. Defendant GEORGE W. BUSH ("BUSH") has been employed as President of the United States since January 20, 2001. On that day, BUSH took a constitutionally mandated oath to faithfully execute the Office of President and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. BUSH is also constitutionally obligated to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

4. As Chief Executive, BUSH exercised authority, direction, and control over the entire Executive Branch, which includes the White House, the Office of the Vice President, the Departments of State, Defense, and others, and the National Security Council.

5. Defendant RICHARD B. CHENEY ("CHENEY") has been employed as Vice President of the United States since January 20, 2001.

6. Defendant CONDOLEEZZA RICE ("RICE") was employed as the National Security Adviser from January 2001 to January 2005, when she became Secretary of State, a position she holds as of the date of this indictment. As National Security Adviser, RICE exercised direction, control, and authority over the National Security Council, which coordinates various national security and foreign policy agencies, including the Departments of Defense and State.

7. Defendant DONALD M. RUMSFELD ("RUMSFELD") has been employed as Secretary of Defense since January 2001.

8. Defendant COLIN M. POWELL ("POWELL") was employed as Secretary of State from January 2001 through January of 2005.

10. As employees of the Executive Branch, BUSH, CHENEY, RICE, RUMSFELD, and POWELL were governed by Executive Orders 12674 and 12731. These Orders provide that Executive Branch employees hold their positions as a public trust and that the American people have a right to expect that they will fulfill that trust in accordance with certain ethical standards and principles. These include abiding by the Constitution and laws of the United States, as well as not using their offices to further private goals and interests
