On Wednesday afternoon's The Situation Room, CNN correspondent Carol Costello filed a story about Vermont residents who have successfully voted on resolutions calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Costello described the impeachment supporters as "mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore" as she remarked that "even if this effort doesn't pay off, sure feels good." After anchor Wolf Blitzer introduced the story as "pretty interesting," Costello made her introduction: "Interesting story, and you might say, Wolf, they are mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. And even if this effort doesn't pay off, sure feels good. They turned out in droves in tiny Jericho, Vermont. Despite the cold and the long wait, for the townsfolk, it was worth it." (Transcript follows)

Costello further hyped the movement as she described the resolution as "spreading like wildfire" before she went on to point out that this movement is happening in "liberal" Vermont which "voted for John Kerry." Costello also relayed anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's involvement in Vermont's impeachment movement. After describing Washington Democrats as uninterested in such an impeachment, the CNN correspondent concluded by relaying that pro-impeachment activists "hope, at the very least, the whole state of Vermont will jump on board." Below is a complete transcript of the story from the Wednesday March 7 The Situation Room:

Wolf Blitzer: "In Vermont, calls for impeaching President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Towns around the state approved nonbinding resolutions on the subject during the state's annual town meetings. Let's go back to CNN's Carol Costello. She's watching all of this in New York. Pretty interesting story, Carol."
