Kucinich Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Bush

Oy vey.  Seen at Raw Story:

“Resolved,” Kucinich then began, “that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate….

“In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power…”

The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed, regarded the war in Iraq: “Article 1 - Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq.”

This, of course, will go nowhere.  Depending on how you look at it, Dems either:

• Are practical enough to realize that taking such a polarizing action against an impotent, lame-duck President is a really dumb idea in a hotly-contested election season; or
• Are realistic enough to realize that they lack the support to actually make the charges stick; or
• Lack the chutzpah to actually see the thing through; or
• Some combination of the above.

Seriously, if Kucinich were serious about seeing justice done, he’d be pushing for a way to ensure that pardons couldn’t be issued for Bush and his cronies.   And, even that sort of an act would seem to be doomed to failure by the political need of appearing inclusive to maximize the results of the November elections.
