Is Pelosi Working On Impeaching Bush?

The Whistler • October 18, 2007

God I hope so, that would be monumentally dumb politics for the gang that can’t shoot straight:

Congresswoman Diane Watson (D-Culver City) spoke in front of an audience of some 150 activists from various LA antiwar organizations at an Iraq Town Hall meeting in Los Angeles on Sunday, October 14th hosted by California Assembly Majority leader Karen Bass and the ‘47th Assembly District People’s Council’ at Hamilton High School.

The audience responded angrily when Watson responded to a call for the impeachment of President Bush by saying, “We simply don’t have the votes.” After groans and boos and at least one cry of “At least do something!”, Watson went on to say, “Right now, Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi is working very quietly and very effectively, behind the scenes. We need 285 votes to uphold an impeachment, and so far we have 260 members telling us they support impeachment.”

Sounds like nothing more than a lame attempt to placate the petulant adolescent base of the Democratic Party.

Did I miss something? On what grounds are they trying to impeach him? The fact that they don't like him?

Just go to left wing hate sites of Talking Points Memo, Media Matters, Moveon.org, Daily Kos and they will give you the same old tired B.S. of Bush Lied people died.

Looks like Congresslady Watson needs some remedial Constitution and math. You need only 218 votes in the House of Representatives to impeach. Methinks she's lumping representatives and Senators together (67 needed to convict) to get to the 285 number.

Now interestingly, there are 47 "Blue Dog" Democrats who more or less were supposed to avoid the MoveOn crusade to remove W; to get to 260, you have to include about 25 of these, as well as (I'd have to guess) a few dozen other Democrats who pledged not to try to impeach.

If Watson isn't just performing a "rectal data extraction", that implies backstabbing on a historic level.

Actually, he needs impeached over his refusal to seal our southern border.
