It's him and the voices in his head.

Appearing on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" tonight, Democratic Party chief Howard Dean told host Jon Stewart, "I know half your audience wants us to impeach the president"-- this drew wide cheers -- "but it's not going to happen."
Stewart apologized to Dean, and admitted he was wrong, for telling him on a previous appearance that the Democrats could not possibly win unless they staked out a clear policy on Iraq and other issues.
He also noted the two key breakups announced Wednesday: Britney and KFed and Bush and "DFeld," as Stewart called Donald Rumsfeld.
Stewart also said that President Bush seemed a bit humbled during his press conference today and perhaps was ready to compromise and work with the Democrats. Dean reminded him that this was the same person who brought us "Rumsfeld and Cheney."
Later, on the Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert noted the election success enjoyed by nearly everyone who had appeared on his show this year, such as Rep. Eliot Engel of New York -- who had let him comb his moustache.
John Hall, who won a stunning upset, also in upstate New York -- after getting what Colbert called "The Colbert Bump"-- returned to the show and the two sang a rousing version of "The Star Spangled Banner." They had done the same in Hall's first visit, but it was cut from the show-- but ended up on YouTube. So this one was for everyone. Hall is the former leader of the rock group Orleans.
...For at least, oh, day. Maybe a week.
King Howard Dean?
Why should they? He's fast becoming one of their biggest allies.
It's him and the voices in his head.
The way all of these moonbats throw around the word impeachment makes it clear that they understand neither the word's meaning or its actual process. The House can impeach (or formally accuse) Bush (of high crimes and misdemeanors) with a simple majority vote, but it takes 67 Senators to agree to remove him from office, which ain't gonna happen. Therefore, if Pelosi and Conyers even managed to "impeach" Bush, it would ultimately be a useless gesture that would only paralyze the government and rip the country further apart.
Boy, Jon Stewart and Howard Dean, two of the most obnoxious people in the Democratic Party, both appearing together? I'm so glad I didn't watch that.
I went over to DU yesterday and even the DUmmies say impeachment would backfire. Plus Dean, Pelosi etc know they don't have a freakin case for impeachment anyway.
I wish they would try! It could only serve to dig their grave deeper for 08. Let them scream, rant and tantrum all they want!!
Which is exactly what they will after they run investigations for a year or so and have the MSM pound the drums of Impeachment.
I'll store this in the BS category
YEEEARGH!
Trust me....THEY WILL INDEED TRY TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.
Why would they even consider impeaching Bush. He can continue to help them for another two years.
You're right. He pre-emptively caved on raising the minimum wage. If he vetoes even one piece of domestic legislation this term I'll be shocked.
And they know it. They'll have their investigations but won't cross the final line. We underestimate these people at our peril, as we've learned.
I actually knew Sue Kelly was in trouble after Hall's appearance on Colbert. Kelly was scared to appear on Colbert and Hall came off as smart and charming and good-natured, which was plenty in this anti-Bush environment in New York. FReepers in Kelly's district dismissed me, but I was right and they were wrong. The appearances on Colbert helped Hall out tremendously. He wouldn't have won without them.
Bush is a weakened lame duck. When you've soundly beaten someone, you can move on.
The word of a discredited candidate to a comedian.
Now THAT carries some weight!
