Burgess: "We need to tie things up"...doesn't rule out pursuing impeachment

When one attendee suggested that the House push for impeachment proceedings against President Barack Obama to obstruct the president from pushing his agenda, Burgess was receptive.

"It needs to happen, and I agree with you it would tie things up," Burgess said. "No question about that."

When asked about the comment later, Burgess said he wasn't sure whether the proper charges to bring up articles of impeachment against Obama were there, but he didn't rule out pursuing such a course.

"We need to tie things up," Burgess said. "The longer we allow the damage to continue unchecked, the worse things are going to be for us."

2. An impeachment proceeding would be the
best thing for Obama's re-election chances that anyone could possibly affect. (Including Obama, FWIW)

Burgess is so slow-witted that somebody had to pull him aside between Monday night and Tuesday night to say "shut up about impeachment before you get your own fat ass in hot water with these freaks". Too late, though.
