But do you suppose maybe Britney Spears was caught drunk driving naked with her baby trussed on the hood of her Beemer? Gotta report the real news, after all.

2. Maybe the fact that it only no chance in hell of passing has something to do with it?
I don't know why people expected anything effective from Kucinich. This is absolutely par for the course for him.

Amazing.

12. At least he's trying to do something.
Which is more than you can say for the rest of those spineless go-along-to-get-along losers. Yes, he's tilting at windmills, but that's better than cringing and fawning like the rest of them.

14. Yeah, he's working so hard on it that 22 of 233 Dems signed on.
Sorry, but I'm not going to get all excited by this.

19. So because it didn't stand a chance of passing we shouldn't be told about it?
Guess the CM should have treated SCHIP and similar measures bound to failure the same way.

US House Democratic Leader To Block Cheney Impeachment Effort



WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday he will block an effort to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney.

Democratic presidential hopeful Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio has announced he will try to force a vote on Cheney's impeachment.

Hoyer said he will use parliamentary tactics to table that effort.

"Impeachment is not on the agenda," Hoyer said.

Hoyer said his decision was not based upon the merits of the impeachment effort, but rather because the new Democratic majority had more important issues to resolve.

Kucinich in April introduced articles of impeachment against Cheney alleging that the vice president fabricated the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and a link between Iraq and al Qaeda to justify the use of force against the nation.

You're not a representative of the people - you're a spineless jellyfish!
