Peaceniks trying to fly impeach banner at All-Star Game
It would seem the Facebook group "The Nationwide Movement to Impeach Cheney and Bush" are trying to sponsor a banner to be flown over the All-Star Game at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Looks like Advertising Aerial will do the flight on short notice. Organizers were able to raise the $695 needed to hire the plane from 47 donations.
The banner would fly over AT&T park while people arrived for the All-Star Game but because of the high-level event, it would have to land an hour before the first pitch.
So any chance we can do some target practice? How many holes can we punch through that banner while it's flying over the stadium? =) At least we won't be distracted by that during the game itself. But who knows...a Code Pink protestor would go and streak across the field. I bet over half of the crowd would cheer when the streaker gets clobbered by one of the baseball players.

Dude, hate to tell you this, but Bush and Cheney SHOULD be impeached.
Duh.

It won't happen no matter how unpopular Bush and Cheney are. A waste of time. They have about 17 months left in their term in office. An impeachment trial could take a couple of months, but on what charges? Even if you get the House to charge the President/VP with "impeachable" charges, the Senate does not have the votes. The Democrats only have a slim majority in the Senate, so Republicans can pretty much cause a standstill with their filbustering on that as well as the rest of the Congressional session.
Is this a way to get Pelosi to become the first woman president by the 25th amendment?
Could we please get on with the nation's business?
Shudder.

Bush has survived so many impeachments. Will he survive another one?
