Both Bush and Cheney need to go, but it certainly makes sense to impeach Cheney first. Who would want even a second of an "official" Cheney presidency. It's bad enough that he's been calling all the shots behind the scenes.Liberals have been frustrated over the apparent lack of interest by anyone in Congress to take action. Well, it seems there is interest -- you're just not hearing about in from the main stream media.
Crooks and Liars has an official "Thank You" from Rep. Robert Wexler. Wexler (D-FL), Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) -- one of my favorites! -- and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) co-authored an op-ed calling for impeachment hearings for the Vice President.
The tremendous response to my call for impeachment hearings for Vice President Cheney confirms that the Bush Administration and Vice President Cheney must be held accountable. I have been overwhelmed by the netroots support for my call for impeachment hearings and for my website - WexlerWantsHearings.com. As of Monday afternoon - after only four days - over 80,000 people have signed up to show their support for impeachment hearings.
Wexler was "shocked when no newspaper would publish" it. Wexler went on to say:It is not every day that three members of the House Judiciary Committee set out a substantive case for impeachment hearings against the sitting Vice President. Yet, the national media yawned.
Wexler, Baldwin and Gutierrez recognize that it's "the constitutional duty of Congress to investigate the serious charges that have been leveled against Vice President Cheney."
Originally, my goal was to gain 50,000 online signatures on behalf of impeachment hearings. Today, our goal is 250,000 supporters.
The charges against Vice President Cheney are too serious dismiss without hearings. If we band together, we can make focus the nation’s attention on this critical issue. Let’s continue to make our voices heard.
More than 86,600 had signed on at WexlerWantsHearings.com when I last checked. Do what you can to spread the word. Encourage everyone to visit the web site and sign on!

i am not exactly sure why he was 'shocked' that no msm would carry it. this is why dodd's stand was so important. hopefully, the dems in congress will boot the current "leadership" and realize where their priorities lay. wexler is off to a good start- as is dodd.
