Pelosi Satisfies Democratic Crazies

It may be a go, Pelosi has been going crazy lately trying to make America more dangerous so why not attempt to become President? She has moved the insane Dennis Kucinich's impeachment bill into the House Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee is chaired by John Conyers, a man whose crazy wife Monica may very well end up in jail for corruption in their hometown of Detroit. Pelosi is number three in the line of succession to the Presidency so watch for Vice-President Cheney to go down first if she can pull off this nonsense.

Kuchinich Finds Two Crazies

The Chicago Tribune reported this morning that my former Congresswoman Janice Schakowsky (D-IL.) has joined that wacky Democratic Presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Oh.) and is co-sponsoring a House Bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. Ms. Schakowsky is Chief Deputy Majority Whip and a woman who seems to use the Big Lie theory of public discourse. She was joined by William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) in this latest bit of Democratic lunacy. Both Ms. Schakowsky and Mr. Clay were co-sponsors of Rep. John Conyer's (D-Mi.) attempt to impeach George Bush during the last congress, a time when the Democrats were in the minority. I must ask, where the heck is Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tx.) when you need her?

It is worth noting that Ms. Schakowsky's husband, Bob Creamer plead guilty (read the link it outlines outrageous behavior) to defrauding three banks in different Midwestern states with a check kiting scheme in order to keep his charity, Illinois Public Action, solvent. One can reasonably presume that his own six-figure salary was preserved by keeping the charity solvent. Additionally a scandal would have posed problems to Ms. Schakowsky's then upcoming primary run to replace retiring twenty-four term Democratic Congressman Sidney Yates. When Mr. Creamer's case became public Congresswoman Schakowsky and other local Democrats insisted that it was all a misunderstanding and that he was scamming the banks for the children, that the check was (literally) in the mail, his dog ate the checks, the sun was in his eyes...

Mr. Creamer opened checking accounts at three banks in the Midwest and drove to those far-flung banks to kite those checks. Mr. Creamer's scheme was no misunderstanding and in fact when the music for this game of musical chairs stopped there was still $370,000 missing. It took months for Creamer to raise enough money to make the banks whole. Her husband has nothing to do with this latest nonsense from Ms. Schakowsky but it is interesting to note that she lives with and has publicly excused a felon but she wants to impeach Vice President Cheney over a policy disagreement. As part of her posturing Ms. Schakowsky will likely call Mr. Cheney a liar. It is also worth noting that Ms. Schakowsky will not stand up for the freedom and liberty of others; no surprise in this corner but worth noting.

See Jay Tea's prediction over at Wizbang of one possible outcome of impeaching Cheney; a bums rush to impeach Bush and install Pelosi as the first female President.

See the moonbat's reaction here, just don't feed them, please.

Update: Speaker Pelosi was in town Friday to help Rep. Schakowsky raise money at her annual Ultimate Women's Power Lunch.

Cocks for Clinton?

The above had to be the best sign shown during the MSNBC debate broadcast. The broadcast was from South Carolina State in Orangeburg, just 50 miles south of Columbia, home of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. The woman (a white woman, if it matters) held the sign and I raced to my recorder as MSNBC tried different angles to avoid the "Cocks for Clinton" girl. She held two signs, the other appeared to be a red Global Warming sign. It also appeared that she was ushered out of camera range by some unknown person or persons.

I didn't think that a group of presidential candidates could sound as uninformed as that group did this evening, especially Gov. Richardson, what a disappointment. On the plus side former Senator Gravel from Alaska actually sounded nuttier than Dennis Kucinich. That alone should make for a lot of comedy during the coming year and a half. We can expect that the media world will only notice the comedy of Kucinich and the guy from Alaska; and of course Bush.

Many thanks to Dr. Sanity and her fantastic Carnival of the Insanities for inclusion again this week.

the Walk Out of the State of the Union

The coverage on FOX was great, they showed Bush's entire walk out of the chamber and turned up the sound during the last few minutes, it was fascinating. It is always strange to watch adults ask for autographs but Bush has long been happy to oblige. The fascinating part was watching his interaction with the congressmen; celibrity is so important that some very liberal Democrats looked like enthralled school girls. Rep. Denis Kucinich (D-Oh.) got two chances to shake Bush's hand, I think that Bush asked him, "Dennis, are you coming at me from both the laft and the right?" Bush and Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL.) had some sort of good natured banter back and forth, some of it seemed to involve Jesse Jackson Sr.As they got out of the chamber into the hallway Bush spoke briefly to Russ Feingold (D-Wi.) who seemed to quickly back off when he realized that there were television cameras taping the scene. I have heard that Feingold is a pretty good guy so his first instincts are probably to be nice to people, especially other nice people. Bush Derangement Syndrome can be a sad thing to watch.
