Impeachment: Wyden would have "open mind"
in the news

It was buried in the second-to-last paragraph of a story on page 20 of Willamette Week, but Senator Wyden's comments regarding impeachment of the President are sure to raise eyebrows in the nation's capital.

It seems that local activist John Bradach (whose nephew was killed while serving in Iraq) has been pestering Oregon's congressional delegation to join his call for impeachment. From WW:

Since no pol answered Bradach's calls, we decided to give them a ring. And guess what? Of the seven politicians representing Oregon, plus one from southwest Washington, only two called us back to answer our questions about impeachment. ...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) says he'd rather use the next year and a half to "enact universal health care, achieve energy independence and remove troops from Iraq" but would keep "an open mind" if the House of Representatives passed articles of impeachment, the first stage in impeachment proceedings.

1. Good for him!

I'd like to see more "Open Minds".

2. No one is getting "universal health care" with Bush in office.

Or taking any realistic steps toward energy independence OR removing troops from Iraq. So either he plans to twiddle his thumbs for a year, or he's for impeachment.
