Go Ahead And Impeach

Tim e-mails to point out what would happen if the Looney Left's nuttiest wet dream fantasy was actually realized:

Whereas many people on the Left don't like President Bush, and whereas, many of these same people want very much to impeach President Bush, I hereby nominate you to inform them that if President Bush is impeached, the country will then be run by Vice-President Cheney, whom they hate only a teensy-weensy little bit less.

If they were successful, would they then impeach try to Cheney? Do they realize that once Cheney takes office, he will nominate and get confirmed a VP, who would then become President should Cheney be impeached, and that all of this would have to happen in two years? Do they not realize that they cannot get Pelosi to become President through impeachment?

Clearly, they are not thinking this plan through thoroughly. What do they hope to gain other than disgracing Bush? Do they think the general public will be tolerant of an impeachment proceeding? I say bring it on. Then let them explain how they thought they could conduct circus-like impeachment hearings and the country's business at the same time in the midst of a war. I think the electorate would see it for what it really is: a political move bent on revenge rather than for the public good.

President Cheney? It has a nice ring to it. Hmmmm...
