Go Dennis go!

Having failed in efforts to impeach Vice President Cheney, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio) escalated his battle against the administration this week by introducing 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush, using a parliamentary maneuver that will probably force a vote today.

From today's Washington Post, by way of Common Dreams.

I think most people who share his views are content to wait until January 20, 2009, but I think Kucinich is someone who stands on principle. Perhaps not An Unreasonable Man, but a man on a mission nonetheless. It's gonna be a fun year for politics geeks all over this great land.

UPDATE: A full House vote sent the articles of impeachment off to die a slow death in the Judiciary Committee, chaired by John Conyers, which is unlikely to hold hearings again this Congress.

Perhaps the point of the exercise was to read them into the record . . .
