Impeachment Bill Congressman Dennis Kucinich has introduced articles of impeachment to the US Congress citing all of the known reasons that current Head of State, George W. Bush should not only be impeached, but also brought up on War Crimes.
Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly stated that impeachment is off the table, as has Sen. Harry Reid.
Upon hearing the 35 pages of crimes committed by Bush, Pelosi and Reid fell into hysterical laughter at the prospect that any Congressman or Senator would pretend to do their jobs. Issuing a joint statement in response to Kucinich, they said, "What does he think this Congress is going to do, work? Fulfill the will of the people? He has lost site of our real purpose as leaders. Our job is not to conduct oversight on illegal presidential acts. It is not our position to investigate these truths. We will let history judge the president and us. We can't waste time on matters of importance." Pelosi then excused herself
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers, last year received articles of impeachment on VP Dick Cheney, and he has let them die in committee. Conyers insisted; "there are many more issues that are more important which we will not investigate, why put this ahead of them? It's not like the American people expect us to legislate or put a stop to such actions. The people of this country are just fine with a corrupt leader and incompetent Congress."
In a surprise statement, failed presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton said, "Leave poor George alone, he is doing the best with what he has to work with. It's not his fault that his IQ is 39."
Sen. Joe Leiberman made it as clear as he could say, "President Bush has done no wrong, he is just misunderstood and his mommy and daddy have abandoned him in his time of crisis. He is only following orders of the far right and confused religious groups of which I am chairman."

Nothing can be done. We've been sold out, just like the people of Russia and China. Do or say anything against the government, and like them, you'll disappear.
There's not even a place to hide. |

No, but seriously... What CAN be done?
That's not satyre... that's news... and it's not really news. Just tragically sad. Tragically, lamentably sad. On with the business of killing. |

The satire is the messege itself, that is, that congress may be complicit in the crimes by the Bush Administration and is using "off the table" as their credo. This is an important issue and what you can do is vote the bastards out of office in November. On the other hand, Americans really don't care much about governance and have no backbone to organize in order to make things right. Bring back the 60's.

good article. but you said '35 pages..' where you meant '35 articles..' above. Also, this is about the most serious issues of modern history - is shows that we have passed into the era of non-responsive congressional behavior where the corporation has become King.

Fascist left-wing loons. "Bush lied/people died", dc al fine...
if we werent in Iraq, we'd be fighting Al Queda EVERYWHERE. They hated us from the beginning, and nothing short of Conversion to Islam will change that. Of course YOU fools probably think that's a small price to pay for "peace". My Uncle was in those barracks in Lebanon. You fools have no sense of the scale and timeline of this "Jihad"... |

I am in Canada, and I am aware that my opinion here means little, however, I also feel strongly that Mr. Bush (with his 39 IQ) still knows way more about 9/11 the war on Iraq and (toss in your accusations) than he lets on in knowing. There is no way that he can be that ill informed of the politics of Iraq as he lets on to not know. I watched a very insightful news line last night on PBS TV called Bush's War, google it and watch all the series it was made from the guys that bring you FRONTLINE, this show will open your eyes.
