If Kucinich doesn't want to deliver the bad news to Cheney he should hire Newt Gingrich to do it. He just loves delivering legal papers to patients.

Must everything Kucinich does be so half-assed? Where to begin? I couldn't be in greater agreement that Cheney - and, hey, Dennis, his boss - ought to be removed. But leave it to Kucinich to, well, you know . . .

To read how it can be done right, of sorts, check out George McGovern's powerful essay in today's LA Times. It's a piece of beauty and art.

If Cheney is well enough to use CNN to attack democrats today, then he is well enough to be impeached. File the articles, Dennis!
