'Impeach the Dick' Resolution

Dennis Kucinich has posted on his Congressional website the Resolution Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, together with his note to The Dick.

The Resolution, formally introduced yesterday and given the designation H.R. 333, was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which will likely be its final resting place.

There are three articles in the resolution. The first addresses what Kucinich calls the Veep's intentional manipulation of the intelligence to falsely convey the impression that Saddam has WMD at the ready for an attack on the United States or its allies.

The second article using similar language in accusing The Dick of putting out false intelligence linking the 9/11 attacks, Iraq, and al Qaeda.

The final article calls Cheney out on his current campaign against Iran and, essentially, says "there he goes again", in violation of the Constitution and UN Charter.

Unfortunately, these Resolutions have no chance of resulting in any hearings or investigations, as the Democrats are too chicken-livered to take on anything this hot. Just like they were afraid to call out Bush when he wanted to invade Iraq in the first place, and just as today they will back down on their demand for a timetable and pull back from any claim of a lost cause.

Kucinich: Impeach the Dick

According to an announcement on his Congressional web site, Ohio Congressman and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich is holding a press conference today to announce his intention to introduce articles of impeachment against Vice-President Dick Cheney.

{UPDATE: Kucinich has cancelled today's news conference and delayed his introduction of articles of impeachment against the Veep due to Cheney's apparent sudden "medical crisis".}

{UPDATE II: It is back on . . . . Congressman Kucinich held his Impeach the Dick press conference during the 5:00 hour this evening.}


Seems an odd move. (I understand those of you who responded "which one?") Accordingly to the Associated Press, the Big Dick merely went in to have that blood clot checked on. The Veep's office said that the doctors told Cheney that the clot had shrunk and sent him back to work at the White House . . . . .

Steny Hoyer wasn't impressed . . . .
