I'm surprised it took me two weeks to find out, but Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has filed articles of impeachment against Cheney (House Resolution 333).
"Whoa. WHAT?" you ask, and rightly so. Why ISN'T that being reported? A lot of people say this is just to add to Kucinich's non-existent support for his 2008 presidential bid. My take: even if it IS, it's the right thing to do anyway.
"Well, isn't Bush the one we really wanna take down?" Arguably so, and Kucinich recognizes this, but he counters "Look, if we impeach Bush first, then Cheney becomes president, and do we really wanna go through the Constitutional agony of impeaching two presidents in a row?" I can't argue with that.
Anyhow, it's really surprising that I found out about this from bloggers and not from the mainstream media (liberal bias indeed!). Surprising, and worrisome.
