Power belongs to who uses it

thought this is interesting, even Pat Buchanon says Bush should be impeached ("...

Bush is the commander in chief, not King George. He has no power to launch U.S. air strikes on Iran, an act of war, unless Congress authorizes war. Before we wake up to an October surprise, Congress should do its duty and Rumsfeld and Rice should appear and make the case for a war some of us believe Iran neither wants nor threatens.Forget the Feingold Resolution. Undeclared presidential wars are the real stuff of impeachment. "

see this from Illinois:

Bush Impeachment - The Illinois State Legislature is Preparing to Drop a Bombshell
is Preparing to Drop a Bombshell

Utilizing a little known rule of the US House to bring Impeachment charges

by Steven Leser

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_steven_l_060422_bush_impeachment___t.htm

The Illinois General Assembly is about to rock the nation. Members of state legislatures are normally not considered as having the ability to decide issues with a massive impact to the nation as a whole. Representative Karen A. Yarbrough of Illinois' 7th District is about to shatter that perception forever. Representative Yarbrough stumbled on a little known and never utlitized rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, which allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. From there, Illinois House Joint Resolution 125 (hereafter to be referred to as HJR0125) was born. .......

heh

"You better get politics or politics will get you" - my grandmother

it's so fun to say!!! a wonderful combination of pomposity and absurdity, all rolled into one. c'mon, CC, try it. you'll love it.

repeat after me.

Pass the Pulitzer.

Did someone say "Pulitzer?"

My kingdom for a Pulitzer.

Honey, I shrunk the Pulitzer.

Pulitzer, Pulitzer, wherefor art thou Pulitzer?

My wife went to the PD and all I got was this lousy Pulitzer.

etc.

With the number of women who vote in Ohio . . .

. . . that would be a better tactic than some issues . . . like trade?

maybe sherrod

RMC2000 — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 09:07:17 -0700

doesn't agree with chris. although the power of the purse is one nice power to have.

And do you honestly believe that . . .

Mr. Common Sense — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 09:05:53 -0700

. . . he's running on Connie's Pulitzer??

That's a rather daft assessment, isn't it?

Umm...

Ohio2nd — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 09:02:03 -0700

seriously, she is his wife. I mean, would you let up on it if he never mentioned her again?

I'm well aware of it, Amber, poopsie.

Mr. Common Sense — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:59:18 -0700

But lame jokes about the Pulitzer are so old at this point.

If someone made a comment about the Pulitzer that was actually funny, that'd be one thing. But a "putting the Pulitzer in the Senate tea rooms" joke?? L-A-M-E.

Make fun of Sherrod's hair. Or Russell's spelling.

Now that shit's funny.

precisely

Tim Russo — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:56:27 -0700

thanks amber.

What's funny

Ohio2nd — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:55:11 -0700

is that Tim doesn't mention Connie Schultz once in the podcast. Talk about let ups.

Perhaps

AmberCat — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:51:51 -0700

others would move on if Connie and Sherrod would move on. You are aware that Sherrod brings this up at virtually every campaign stop, aren't you? He's running on it so it is fair game for comments.

Jesus Christ,

Mr. Common Sense — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 08:44:27 -0700

can we please get over Connie Schultz and her f*ckin' Pulitzer??

Sherrod is married to Connie. Connie won a Pulitzer.

Accept it and let's move on.

Shameless self-promotion time!!! (is there any other kind?). Anyway, Eric really is doing some great work with this. In addition to suffering through me rant about electoral fraud, Eric interviews Chris, rants himself about Earth day, and talks to Bob Shamansky, who frankly, is such a breath of fresh air....what a great candidate. Any candidate who ain't afraid to use a bit of profanity is the tops!

Chris' assertion that the US House is the most powerful branch of government struck me as odd. Why then, is Sherrod running for Senate? Just to put the Pulitzer in the Senate tea rooms?
