Here's one for the books--What if

Dennis Kucinich becomes the next president of the United States because the dummies in the House of Representatives continue to act as they did today while Dennis pushed through his resolution to impeach Dick Cheney? Did you ever read a more convoluted and assinine story of sheer stupidity and moral turpitude than that displayed on both sides of the aisle today? It reads like a piece out of Alice in Wonderland. What is is not and what should be cannot be and on and on while Dennis Kucinich walks across the room and gets what he needs and the job is done.

What world do these jokers live in and what makes them think that by shooting themselves in the foot and looking like the assinine idiots they have proven themselves to be all along that they have in any way changed the debate?

Okay, now I have calmed down a bit and can replay for those who have not yet seen this drama unfold what I have read about what happened today when Dennis Kucinich, lone man with the mission of protecting all of us, came forward and after 6 months of work has finally gotten through another loophole the articles of impeachment brought to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote. The democratic leadership wanted it tabled because this was not "a priority." Then, in order to get at Nancy Pelosi, the GOP decided in their infinite wisdom not to vote to table the resolution. So they ended up voting, after about an hour on whether to vote and then due to the craziness of this mirrored world in which those in politics choose to live, the resolution ended up passing and will go on the House Judiciary Committee.

Rep. Kucinich has now accomplished the impossible and made the Republicans vote to bring the articles of impeachment against Cheney forward in order to embarrass Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. I think I could not have dreamed up this plot had I been looking for the most fantastic way to tell the story of this entire period in which we live. In the time it takes to tell this odd story, I am still sitting here thinking, but how could they have been so stupid? Don't they realize that what they have done is just handed Cheney's head on a platter to be convicted of the crimes of which he has been accused?

On top of that, don't they see that because the numbers are really on Dennis' side that this could be the very thing that pushes voters now to see who is on their side, listens to them and does the work they have been voted into office to do? I don't know about anyone else, but there is something so satisfying in the ways in which their awful tactics have finally helped to shoot the man who shot the man in the face that I am happy for the moment and feel that at least for now there is a chance of justice being served and in such an amazing way and with Dennis at her side.
