Talking Impeachment but Short on Action

Ok, I cna understand not impeaching George W. and his gang of buffoons as looking like revenge for Clinton but there is a deep visceral urge to see this. Especially if Congress must continue to look ineffectual.

Impeachment: On the Table But Not for Consumption:

"The House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on one of Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich's 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders in the chamber have signaled that they do not want the committee -- let alone the full House -- to take a vote on impeachment.

How's that?

The Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the president's abuses of power -- perhaps as soon as next week. Expert witnesses will be called. Kucinich says that a foreign official -- who he has not named -- is willing to testify regarding presidential wrongdoing. And Judiciary Committee chair John Conyers, the veteran Michigan Democrat who actually believes in presidential accountability but has had a hard time getting other top Democrats to embrace that belief, suggests that the hearing will review evidence of 'all the (Bush administration actions) that constitute an imperial presidency.'"
