It's still a futile gesture: even if it gets through the House, which I seriously doubt that it will, there are NOT going to be 67 votes to convict in the Senate.
Trying to impeach a president who has seven months left in his term is Kucinich playing to his supporters before the election this fall, as opposed to Kucinich acting in the best interests of the nation. I dislike that sort of grandstanding when there are so many more important things that the Congress needs to be doing.
And impeaching the Shrub would leave Dick Cheney as President for the remainder of the term. Do you REALLY think that making him Commander-in-Chief is a good idea?
