any citizen of the USA not backing Kucinich and IMPEACHMENT is a traitor to the Constitution . All progressives should rally around this issue and push for this to be the decider for candidates in November .
Max Shields is on to it . Its never too late for Justice and Rule of the Law ; enough BS already.

Glad you did, hp. Amazon.com instituted the “Most Helpful Viewpoint” category in the last year or so, and I like to think it was as a result of all the shit I gave them about “Most Helpful Reviews” being totally biased and unjustified against negative reviews (of controversial, political books), because negative reviews could actually INCREASE the sales to the author’s outraged supporters. Or put simply, the “Helpful-Unhelpful” distinction is bullshit for highly political books.

You might also enjoy the review of mine at Amazon.com which set me off. It presently has 16 “Found Helpfuls” and 66 “Found Not Helpfuls.” It reviews Ronald Radosh’s “Commies: A Journey Throught the Old Left, the New Left and the Leftover Left.”

I liked it, Lloyd.
Leper-bells, ha ha.
So that’s what this constant ringing in my ears is?

“The citizen who thinks he sees that the commonwealth’s political clothes are worn out, and yet holds his peace and does not agitate for a new suit, is disloyal; he is a traitor.”
Twain (a connecticut yankee in king arthur’s court)

Yeah, hp, enjoy it I did. It’s the best thing I’ve ever read about Gore Vidal. If you’d like to read the best thing I’ve ever written about him, it’s the fourth review down, as a “Most Helpful” review of The Last Empire: Essays, 1992-2000:

And it contains one very, very funny quotation about journalists.

The truth is never out of style, Lloyd.
Mr. Vidal must be pretty lonely these days.
Here’s a very good interview from last month.
I know you’ll enjoy this.

Dost thou jest, Rich? Conceivably CSPAN or whoever shows live House sessions got caught unawares.

Hey. Nobody’s corrupted by saying something nice about Dennis, or sending him a buck or two. And if you’re not from Cleveland? Maybe send a buck or two to Barbara Lee, way out in Oakland, California. Her birthday’s July 19th.

And whoa, hp! Thanx for that link to Uncle Gore’s piece in Common Dreams. Our fave socialist warhorse still dashes off incomparably fine political prose from time to time.

I agree Max. I do think ahighly of Dennis.

Rich, here’s a brief from Gore Vidal. He remarks on the lack of US coverage.

hp, but you got to love this guy.

It’s never too late for justice, even if we have to chase the sons-of-bitches into the courtroom after they’re out of office.

If ever there was a line THIS IS IT. They are as guilty as any Nazi at Nuremberg (and more so than most). Tribunal, I’m open for Truth and Reconciliation, but justice must be served. Kucinich kicked the bucket and now it needs to be turned over to a prosecutor.

F^uck the elections. They’re meaningless when the killing will go on one admin after another. Who’s ever in the WH has got to be served notice - STOP THIS SHIT!

I don’t watch mainstream media - was there any coverage of Kucinich’s great act of rebellion and truth-telling??

Kucinich may be a ‘hero’ overall, by virtue of his tenure in Congress which serves as a symbol of what being a representative of the people means, but to see this latest impeachment motion as an example of heroism is a bit much.
Seven and a half years into an eight year Presidency is a bit late to accomplish anything but a token feel good gesture, if even that. Tell me he didn’t know this.
Proof being the vote yesterday. (251-166) Done. Over. It took all of one week to dispose of that pipe dream of a too late never had a snowball’s chance in hell impeachment.
After all, Bush isn’t getting blowjobs, he’s giving them, and we know to who.
As sleazy, corrupt and treasonous as the House is, you know all but a few of those 166 got the ‘OK’ to vote yes for reasons of conniving deceiving propaganda and political maneuvering.
On the plus side, everyone felt pretty good for a day or two.
Go Dennis.

Obama would be wise to name Dennis Kucinich as his running mate. Kucinich is a true American hero.
