1. I called Conyers last Friday about this.

The staffer insisted that John's words were being "misconstrued" and that he was no closer to holding hearings than ever and hasn't changed his position i.e. he's not now "leaning" towards holding hearings.

I told him I felt "played with" around this issue as reports keep surfacing that tease me into believing he just needs a little more encouragement... I mean what the hell else could he have meant to convey by almost falling out of his chair in the Swanson article?

He said he'd "get back to me" in writing on Conyers' position on impeachment, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for anything new.

Very sad state of affairs, IMHO.

2. What a crock of shit...

What's Conyers playing at?

This is the same guy who called the cops on impeachment activists, including members of Code Pink, who were occupying his office late last year.

This time he emerges from a lengthy meeting with two of the very people he had arrested, Medea Benjamin and another Code Pink leader, and says he's "on the edge" of starting impeachment hearings. Then his staffer says his remarks were "misconstrued."

It seems to me there's enough free-floating horseshit coming out of Conyers' office that it might not be possible to avoid the stench even 3000 miles away.

His Michigan constituency wants Bush and Cheney impeached and removed from office yesterday. But that's just the start of the fun.

They want these vampires indicted by a grand jury, formally charged in federal court for the dozens -- probably hundreds -- of crimes against decency, the Constitution and humanity in general that they or their surrogates have committed.

And they want them tried, convicted and shipped to some hellhole in the American gulag, there to be left in solitary until their gelatinous flesh rots from their lizard skeletons and congeals into a greasy miasma of putrid slime on the floors of their cells.

All fantasies aside, it would be a very good idea if Conyers actually followed through on his impeachment shuck and jive this one time. Between the steady slide into fascism at home and the very real possibility of Cheney starting WW III in the Middle East, I don't really see how there's much time to waste.

So misconstrue this, Congressman, you vacillating, inept, rudderless, co-opted, ineffectual, conniving, back-stabbing, lying, enabling, complicit coward. How does it feel to find yourself feeding at the same slimy corporate trough, right next to the feral GOP pigs?

How does it feel to subordinate your principles, personal history, oath of office, dignity and honor, moral compass and basic common sense to a political strategy that's so obviously inane it may cost you your position as chair of the Judiciary Committee?

Is caving to Ms. Nancy really worth risking the loss of this representative democracy and replacing it with a Cheney-style national security state?

Be sure to get back to me on that one. Or have your little surrogate twit run some PR garbage past everybody and try to convince sensible people that up is down.
