5. Wonder how Kucinich will get around using the 'L' word?
If You Must Impeach, Please Do It Politely
By Molly K. Hooper, CQ Staff


Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich may have to hold his tongue when he argues in favor of impeaching President Bush on Friday morning.

The Ohio Democrat, like every other witness scheduled to testify before the Judiciary Committee, has been put on notice by the committee’s Democratic staff.

The basic warning: No matter what they think about the information given to Congress and the American people before the Iraq War, under no circumstances are those testifying to call Bush a liar.

The staff made sure every witness had the Jefferson’s Manual page that says “personal abuse, innuendo, or ridicule of the President is not permitted. . . . Any suggestion of mendacity is out of order.”

And being called out of order could result in being unable to speak for the rest of the hearing — which would ruin the occasion for White House critics like Kucinich, who have been waiting a long time to air their grievances in a formal setting.

6. This is such a beautiful thing!!!
We've waited so long! I wish the media would pay more attention to this. I know it's not likely to lead to anything, but you'd think a committee hearing on impeachment would be big news anyway.

8. It would help if they called it impeachment instead of misconduct
3rd graders are guilty of misconduct. LOL
