I don’t know when they are going to gavel this vote on tabling (killing) Dennis Kucinich’s resolution to impeach the goddamn vice-president, but it is already clear that Pelosi and Hoyer have been outmaneuvered. A full 164 Republicans have voted to proceed to the resolution, apparently eager to fight it out and defend Cheney and, obviously, win.
Currently 86 Democrats are in favor of proceeding, but 135 are not.
Oops. They gaveled it. Now Hoyer is moving to send the resolution to the Judiciary Committee (again, kiling it). Kucinich wants a vote on that goddamn idiocy.
Man. This is great theater. I gotta go out for the evening, and I am going to miss the humiliation of Steny Hoyer. Kucinich is kicking his ass. I hate Hoyer, weasel that he is.
Okay, they are going to vote now on whether to bury the resolution in the Judiciary Committee. This time the Republicans are coming out guns blazing to prevent that.
Looks like the Dems are going to cave to their leadership on this one.
Let me know what happens.
