Resolution to push Bush impeachment

April 24, 2006

BY TRACY SWARTZ Sun-Times Springfield Bureau


SPRINGFIELD -- Leave it to the Democratic-controlled state Legislature to find an obscure way to attempt to oust President Bush.

State Rep. Karen Yarbrough (D-Maywood) has sponsored a resolution calling on the General Assembly to submit charges to the U.S. House so its lawmakers could begin impeachment proceedings.

It would be the first state legislature to pass such a resolution, though the measure faces a dim future in a Republican-controlled Congress.

"This is absolutely ridiculous," said John McGovern, a spokesman for U.S. House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.). Only the U.S. House can formally initiate impeachment proceedings.

1. That lead sentence is dripping with so much snark

"Leave it to" ... "obscure" ... "oust" -- if I didn't know better, I might begin to suspect that the Liberal Media isn't really liberal at all. Silly me.
