Impeachment

In case you were wondering what it takes for Republicans to support impeachment proceedings.

Pressure mounted Tuesday on Gov. Eliot Spitzer to resign because of a prostitution scandal, with a top state Republican threatening to push for impeachment proceedings if the governor doesn't step down in 48 hours.

State residents "cannot have this hanging over their heads," said Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco.

So it’s not lying the nation into a war that makes Republicans see the need to remove a corrupt officeholder, not breaking the law to violate Americans’ civil rights, not holding prisoners without charges for years at a time. The crime that moves them to action is being a Democrat.

This from the party that gave David Vitter a standing ovation after he did the same thing. I guess it’s OK for the people of Louisiana and the U.S. Senate to have this hanging over their heads.

Fucking hypocrites.
