The Raw Story | Mainstream media yawns as Kucinich offers impeachment

On Monday evening, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to read out 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush in an almost five-hour marathon. Kucinich's action made an immediate splash on the Internet, but the mainstream media were far more reticent in their coverage.

Doesn't this belong in breaking new or bias in the media?

As well overdue as this is, nothing'll come of it.

Because it was complicit in his crimes and failed to act as a government watchdog and conscience of the nation.

Kucinich: Judiciary Committee must begin review of impeachment articles

The Raw Story Kucinich: Judiciary Committee must begin review of impeachment articles

Quote:

The Ohio lawmaker said that it is now “incumbent” for the Judiciary Committee to review evidence he presented. He promised that if the committee failed to hold any hearings on the resolution within thirty days, he would repeat his efforts. He told one reporter Wednesday, “Leadership wants to bury it, but this is one resolution that will be coming back from the dead. … I will be bringing the resolution up again, and I won’t be the only one reading it.”

The Raw Story Kucinich threatens 60 impeachment articles if Judiciary doesn’t act

Quote:

The minute the leadership said ‘this is dead on arrival’ I said that I hope they believe in life after death; because I’m coming back with it,”

He's serious folks. He's gonna come with a canon loaded with 60 if not handled in 30 days.

At this time, however, I believe that impeachment proceedings against President Bush will only divide the country even further, frustrating our hopes for a meaningful change in direction, while having little chance of success.
