So, anyway, this happened. [impeachment chatter among House Rethuglicans]
Be advised. The United States House of Representatives -- one-half of the national legislature, which is one third-of the national government, if you're keeping score in civics class -- exists now solely to gin up enthusiasm in, and to raise money from, the increasingly demented political base of the Republican party. It is a campaign mechanism, not a governing institution. If it were a governing institution, it would have actual leaders who would tell the more demented members of firm to knock this pointless shit off and get on with the business of proposing policy alternatives as part of the business of running the country.Lest there be any doubt in your mind that this is a cottage industry grifting the bitter, low-information wingnut population, just type in "Impeach Obama" in Google Images and check out the plethora of bumper stickers, mugs, etc., available for sale to these yahoos. Once you get past that, consider the fundraising going on now in the looniest precincts of America using the meme of "Obama The Tyrant," or some feverish variation on that theme. Sic transit gloria, America.
