Cynthia McKinney, ousted Democrat U.S. representative and Capitol Hill Police officer assaulter, is making the most of her final days in office.
What better way for a 9/11 conspiracy theorist nutjob to go out then by introducing a bill to impeach the President?
WASHINGTON -- In what was likely her final legislative act in Congress, outgoing Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney introduced a bill Friday to impeach President Bush.
The legislation has no chance of passing and serves as a symbolic parting shot not only at Bush but also at Democratic leaders. Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has made clear that she will not entertain proposals to sanction Bush and has warned the liberal wing of her party against making political hay of impeachment.
...In the bill, she accused Bush of misleading Congress on the war in Iraq and violating privacy laws with his domestic spying program.
I don't think it matters that McKinney's legislation has no chance of passing.
What matters is that a Democrat would actually introduce a bill to impeach the President.
It's not enough for Pelosi and other Dems to simply brush her off.
They should condemn McKinney's action.
The Dems need to be clear about where they stand.
Do they believe that Bush has committed impeachable offenses?
Many have said that they believe he has.
If they don't get on McKinney's bandwagon, they prove themselves to be spineless and hypocritical.
"You want answers?"
"I want impeachment!"
"You can't handle impeachment!"
