Impeachment

You might not have noticed - as no one in the Media seems to give a rip or take seriously - but a 35 article Impeachment Resolution was read into the Congressional record by Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich (and punchline, punching bag). Question - is anyone going to take this seriously?

Here's an exchange I caught online:
Guidomyte: IMPEACHMENT IS NOT WHAT IS NEEDED RIGHT NOW

Shouldn't congress be preparing to take all three branches of gov't in November's election (office in January) as they keep predicting? Instead of chasing down this wild goose, why don't you start doing something productive to convince me to vote you into power? Impeaching Bush with 7 months left in the presidency would accomplish nada except bolster some pride in some an alienate others, you aren't going to reverse anything within that amount of time, even if you impeach him TOMORROW. This is a prime example of blinded bipartisan hatred, nothing more/less, both parties to blame.

Did Bush do some bad things? Hell yes, obviously. No doubt. Consequence for his actions? Fine, just do it outside of the Presidency, lest you WANT to make the USA look even weaker in the eyes of the world. Impeachment or not, DK just made us look like the biggest group of colossal pussies to the rest of the globe.
mizchief: WTF is this really needed? Dude is going to be gone in a couple of months anyway. Is it really worth how bad this makes the country look? Impeaching two presidents in a row; and you wonder why no one good wants to run for president. Our economy is already going to shiat do we really need to add this to the pile?
FightDirector:Why is this needed? Why is this needed?!

Are you serious?! Are you high? It's needed because we need to make a statement to America, to future presidents, and to the rest of the world that the conduct shown by this administration is NOT OK. We need to own up to and correct as best we can our missteps...and the first step along that trail is to impeach the bastard and hold him PERSONALLY accountable, along with every member of the administration we can get our hands upon before they fly to Argentina with the rest of fascists.

THAT'S why it's fugging needed.
I have to say that I'm happy these things were read into the Congressional record - as a legal note for future Americans (what, for the next Administration??)

I started to read the Impeachment Resolution - I have a link to the PDF of it... click there...

It'll take me a week to get through it. Breakfast nook, toilet time, in traffic, and night-night time -- I think a week is kind of lowballing it too.

Dennis is blaming Bush personally for EVERYTHING that has happened including no body armor and covering up the Pat Tillman friendly fire incident.

-- It's either the ultimate act of futility, or it's a roadmap for Obama to actually pursue a course of change. If it's laughed off - which would be my first assumption of what's going to happen - there will BE NO CHANGE.... 

Wondering what you think of it all. I'm also waiting for Dennis fanboy OneF to chime in...
