Impeachment Follies

A friend recently sent me this little left wing screed:

Subject: Last Chance for IMPEACH Cheney Caps, Greenwald Video and More

Dear Impeachment Movement Heros,

We are participating in a national coordinated emailing to promote the new Robert Greenwald Impeach Cheney video, and we reproduce the text of that alert in the next section just below. So for those of you who are looking for yet more things to do, this is another.

But first we want you to know that to meet YOUR demand we have already bumped the first run of "IMPEACH CHENEY?" caps from 2,500 to 3,500, and this coming Tuesday (when we start taking delivery) we will tell the manufacturer how many MORE we need to make sure that every one of you who wants one gets one So if you have not yet requested your very own custom embroidered cap, to get more people to ASK themselves "Should Vice President Cheney be Impeached?", remember we will send you one for no charge. If you can ALSO make a donation to help finance the enormous cost of getting all these caps sewn and shipped, please consider chipping in for that too. Either way just submit this request form:

New video: Impeach Dick Cheney from Robert Greenwald

That's right, we said the "I" word. And you should be saying it too -- to your family, your friends, your neighbors, your pets and the hearty 26% of Americans who somehow still believe the Bush/Cheney team more worthy of sitting in the Oval Office than an undisclosed location stripped of all authority to further damage the country we love.

You'll want to say it even more after watching our video with the evidence for impeachment right there: http://impeachcheney.org/

Dick Cheney has been a malevolent force on the checks and balances of American government for over six years. He has subverted government processes to lead us into this tragedy in Iraq, and is now seeking to do the same with Iran. Two countries, mind you, he did business with while CEO of Halliburton.

We are at an important moment in American history. For if we don't take action in light of the High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed by one Richard Cheney, we might as well throw the word away. Because there will never be a time when it is more justified.

Sign the petition: http://impeachcheney.org/petition.php

14 representatives already support H. Res 333, the articles of Impeachment against Dick Cheney. Your signatures will be used to get other House members to to sign on. We are working with a substantial and growing coalition led by Democrats.com and AfterDowningStreet.org.

Let's make this travesty a turning point in our history. Please join us in restoring democratic principles to our government by IMPEACHING DICK CHENEY.

Sincerely,
Robert, Cliff, Paris, Jim G and the entire Brave New Films team

I think this administration may, in fact, be guilty of actionable offenses; however a razor thin Democratic majority will never convict. We do not need to embroil the country in impeachment follies through the end of the Bush term. Further, any move to impeach will just convince some fence-sitters that the Democrats are controlled by the whacky left, are untrustworthy with the controls of government, and probably again vote for a Republican in the next elections.

But I wonder if charges can be brought after these guys leave office?
