Finally.... FINALLY.

At this moment, as I type this, I am watching C-SPAN as Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is filing 35 Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Thank the gods.

Turn on C-SPAN now.

Call your representative NOW and urge them to vote in support!

My e-mail to our representative, Mike Honda:

Rep. Honda:

As I write this, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich is presenting 35 Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush to the United States Congress.

Mr. Honda, my wife and I cannot urge you strongly enough to vote in favor of these articles. We have endured the flagrant and high-handed disregard for law exhibited by the current occupant of the White House for long enough.

Thank you.

Meh.

Sure, going after Clinton for what he did wasn't using Impeachment as a political tool, but going after Bush for all he's done is? Words fail me.

See, though, here's the thing. Impeachment is a political tool. More than that, it's a political weapon.

Sure, it shouldn't be used lightly. No weapon should. But there comes a time when its use is not only warranted but necessary.

I'm sure what Mr. Boren meant was that immpeachment should not be used as a partisan tool, and no, it shouldn't. But we can blame the Right for making "political" and "partisan" synonymous -- like "liberal" and "filthy, baby-eating, commie spawn of Hell".
