| Howard Dean to Jon Stewart: We Won't Impeach Bush |
| 2006-11-11 |
| Fitting venue for Dean - and the topic of the article... Appearing on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" tonight, Democratic Party chief Howard Dean told host Jon Stewart, "I know half your audience wants us to impeach the president"-- this drew wide cheers -- "but it's not going to happen." Stewart apologized to Dean for telling him on a previous appearance that the Democrats could not possibly win unless they staked out a clear policy on Iraq and other issues. In Stewart's view, they didn't, and won anyway. He also noted the two key breakups announced Wednesday: Britney and KFed and Bush and "DFeld," as Stewart called Donald Rumsfeld. Stewart also said that President Bush seemed a bit humbled during his press conference today and perhaps was ready to compromise and work with the Democrats. Dean reminded him that this was the same person who brought us "Rumsfeld and Cheney." Later, on the Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert noted the election success enjoyed by nearly everyone who had appeared on his show this year, such as Rep. Eliot Engel of New York -- who had let him comb his moustache. John Hall, who won a stunning upset for Congress, also in upstate New York -- after getting what Colbert called "The Colbert Bump"-- returned to the show and the two sang a rousing version of "The Star Spangled Banner." They had done the same in Hall's first visit, but it was cut from the show-- but ended up on YouTube. So this one was for everyone. Hall is the former leader of the rock group Orleans, best known for '70s hits such as "Still the One." Rep. John Conyers, a leading House proponent of impeaching the president -- and soon to head a key committee -- said Thursday that this notion was now off the table. |

| #10 Edit last post. House bill 635.The bill is currently sitting in the House Rules Comittee because a new rule must be made to form the Select Committee, according to a few web sites. Withdraw that Howie, and we might believe you. |

| #9 Isn't there still a house bill on the record calling for inpeachment proceedings? Have they withdrawn this? I won't believe this until the bill is retracted. |

| #6 John Hall, who won a stunning upset for Congress...is the former leader of the rock group Orleans, best known for '70s hits such as "Still the One." Oh, this group. One of the "world's worst album covers". Anyone know which one is the Congressman? |

| #5 the worst part of this election will be having to endure Jon Stupid and Howard D'Scream continuing to delude themselves that they are something other than pawns in a larger power play. |

| #2 ..No, they won't move to impeach him. OTOH, they've already dropped hints that a special prosecutor may be named to investigate 'allegations' against Dubya - and if he finds something, well, we'll just have to follow up on it... Mike |
