According to what I read, it took him nearly 5 hours to read into the record all 35 articles.

Surprised it's taken so long to get sifted. C'mon people -- this is democracy!

Well, look at that. I didn't see that in the news.

About bloody time.

Like I said before...fuckin-A.

Oh, but impeachment is "off the table".

How can you take a constitutional duty off the table?

argaghgaghshgghjahsa send him to the hague.

Indeed, to Hauge with the warcriminal.

I really like Kucinich. Man, what I'd do for him to be on Obama's ticket.

I watched this live. Man, I just grabbed myself 14 bags of popcorn, 2 pints of ice cream and a jug of red vines and was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

No mainstream media coverage, and (aside from Kucinich) no interest in actually impeaching. Sickening.

Think it will go anywhere? Think again. If we lived in a true Democracy, these articles of impeachment would be implemented. We don't. So the false two party system is going to ignore it. The corporate media is going to ignore it. The vast majority of the US population then sits idly by, focused on the likes of American Idol, rather than the health of their very own nation.

It's too bad Bush hasn't gotten a blowjob in the Oval Office.

Maybe he hasn't heard that "rumor" either.

Odd how his facts are rumor, and rumors fact.

Haha. How has this not been arranged?

Kucinich is just upset that he didn't get the nomination.

But, seriously: if Bush really did everything that Kucinich lays out in those articles of impeachment...off with his head!

they both have funny ears and freaks for wives.....fuck, so does Obammers....

I'm going to cut this off when the World Socialist website goes heavy into the socialism:

"House Democrats kill resolution to impeach Bush
By Patrick Martin
12 June 2008

In a display of parliamentary maneuvering that combined cynicism and cowardice, Democratic members of the US House of Representatives voted unanimously to kill an impeachment resolution against President Bush introduced by Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio.

Kucinich himself participated fully in the farce. He introduced the resolution Monday and read out the 35 articles of impeachment for crimes ranging from the lying pretexts given to the American people for the war in Iraq to torture at the US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and illegal domestic spying. Then he moved to send the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, whose chairman John Conyers has long rejected any effort to hold Bush constitutionally accountable.

The 251-166 margin of the vote, held on a roll call Wednesday, saw all 227 Democrats—including Kucinich and his lone co-sponsor, Robert Wexler of Florida—joined by 24 Republicans move to dispose of the resolution. Voting against were 166 Republicans, who sought to force a debate on impeachment for the purpose of embarrassing the Democratic Party leadership.

After Kucinich introduced the measure Monday and spent more than four hours reading the entire text into the Congressional Record, House Republicans utilized a parliamentary provision to force the clerk of the House to read the text out loud all over again on Tuesday, consuming another four hours and keeping the House in session until after midnight. The purpose was to rub the Democrats’ noses in their own refusal to take action to back up their occasional bursts of anti-Bush demagogy.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ruled out any impeachment of Bush as soon as the Democrats won control of Congress in November 2006. Impeachment resolutions against Cheney were introduced in May and November of 2007 and killed each time by the Democrats, in the same fashion as the Bush impeachment resolution Wednesday.

There is no question that, unlike Bill Clinton, who was impeached for lying about a private sexual encounter, George W. Bush is guilty of offenses that meet the “high crimes and misdemeanors” standard set by the US Constitution.

The adamant opposition to impeachment proceedings on the part of Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and the rest of the Democratic leadership does not stem from a belief that such proceedings would be unpopular. According to public opinion polls, a majority of the American people and an overwhelming majority of Democratic voters favor Bush’s impeachment and removal from office.

A public vote in the House of Representatives would, however, find a clear majority of the Democrats in Congress siding with Bush against the sentiments of their own constituents. The Democratic leadership seeks to block any vote to conceal as much as possible their role as the last line of defense for the Bush administration.

The Democratic leadership opposes impeachment not on legal, but on political and class grounds. They are well aware that the adoption of an impeachment resolution against Bush and Cheney, regardless of the outcome of a Senate trial, would deal a major blow against the White House as an institution and undermine the legitimacy of all Bush’s actions as “commander-in-chief,” especially in the war in Iraq.

It would also inevitably raise the question of who in Congress was complicit with Bush’s criminal conduct over the past seven years—tarring Democrats as well as Republicans, since a majority of Senate Democrats and a large number of House Democrats voted for the Iraq war resolution in 2002. Many other actions listed in Kucinich’s articles of impeachment were given near-unanimous support by the Democrats.

More fundamentally, the Democratic Party is a bourgeois party and it seeks to uphold the authority of the bourgeois state..."

bourgeois, stop.

Still some valid points though - rare you'll see me agreeing with that site, but there you go.

I guess lying about getting a bj is worse than war crimes.

One of the few Democrats with balls, Congressman Dennis Kucinich read 35 articles of impeachment against President George Bush on the House floor late last Monday. It’s all there - the lies, the use of torture, the ignoring of Congress, and the using of propaganda to start a war. Mr. Kucinich has tried unsuccessfully to start impeachment hearings before on Bush and also VP Dick Cheney in the past. Can he succeed now? Here's how you can help.

The USA is not a Democracy. It is a Demopublican Plutocratic Kleptocracy.

Depends on how good she was.
