House Judiciary Committee held impeachment hearings yesterday

[Capt. Obvious]

I had no idea.

....

Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Tex.), who has said there are enough votes in the House to impeach Obama, added: “We’ve also talked about the I-word, impeachment, which I don’t think would get past the Senate in the current climate. . . . Is there anything else we can do?”

Why, yes, there is, congressman: You can hold hearings that accomplish nothing but allow you to sound fierce for your most rabid constituents.

This excited Franks, who embraced impeachment back in 2011. Obama’s actions, he said, “could be considered royal prerogatives, which is, if my history’s right, what we had that little unpleasantness with Great Britain about.”

I'm glad there's no important work to get done.

2. The racists in the GOP base want impeachment

This is part of their goal to take back the country

It comes to pass that Texas Senator and Congressvarmints are still trying to impeach President Obama.

Honey, if they don’t have anything better to do they can come over to my house and fix the damn potholes in the street. But, no. It’s Christmas and let’s impeach Obama!...

They are not using the impeachment word for fear of looking batcrap crazy instead of just regular crazy.
