"Dennis Kucinich is on a quest of his own. He sees flying saucers and he acts like one, too"
Don Surber

That’s from Alcee Hastings. Suffice it to say, Democratic leaders are pissed at Dennis for bringing up impeachment . . .

Kucinich is an archtype of embarrassment to the party. He’s like the Crazy Aunt who spills all the family secrets. They want him to go back into the attic. Republicans are handing him a megaphone. Spill, Auntie Dennis, spill.
Meanwhile, the "nutroots" "netroots" (which is to say, the real face of the hard-core Angry Lefr Democrat party) is cheering him on and cursing the (relative) prudence of Pelosi and Hoyer.

. . . Steny Hoyer, who as the House’s No. 2 Democrat has taken over for the incompetent House Squeaker Nancy Pelosi, tried to kill the Kucinich impeachment resolution. Republicans were all set to help him until it occurred to them, screw Hoyer. What has he done for Republicans? Being portrayed as pulling the wings off children over SCHIP chaffed Republicans. So they decided to give Kucinich enough rope to hang all the Democrats.

86 Democrats were serious in voting for the resolution. 165 Republicans voted for the resolution just to send a message to Democratic leaders. Shelley Moore Capito was among the Republicans voting for the resolution.

Technically the motion was to table, so the 162 votes for tabling were against the resolution, while the 251 no votes were technically for the impeachment resolution.

Besides Kucinich and the rest of the Tinfoil Caucus of the Democratic Party, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel voted for the impeachment resolution. . . .
