S.F. supervisors set to debate call for impeachment of Bush, Cheney
2006-02-08
In case you're short a hot topic tonight, Bill O'Reilly, take a look at the Moonbats San Francisco Board of Supervisors -- which is working up a resolution calling for the "full investigation, impeachment or resignation'' of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Overstepping their bounds a little

The Pennsylvania Avenue Pair's alleged crimes:

-- Waging an righteous unnecessary war in Iraq.

-- Authorizing hurt feelings torture of terrorist prisoners.

-- Failing to respond adequately to Hurricane Katrina. even though it was refused by chocoman Nagin and Blanko
-- And not to be forgotten -- ordering the secret wiretapping of U.S. citizens without a warrant. like FDR, JFK, Slick Willie

San Francisco's ever-far left-leaning Supervisor Chris Daly placed the resolution on the board's consent calendar Tuesday -- but the matter was sent to committee at the request of Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, who opposes the resolution. That ensures a roll-call vote when it eventually comes back to full board.

"I have more important things to do than to vote for President Bush's impeachment,'' Elsbernd said. indicating a nod to common sense
But from the looks of things, Elsbernd is in the minority. There appear to be more than enough supervisors lining up to pass the resolution.

"Absolutely -- I support it, '' said board President Aaron Peskin, who gave the resolution a quick first read when we phoned him.

"One of the fundamental tenets of a democratic society is the freedom of elected officials to express sentiments on behalf of their constituents,'' said North Beach's Peskin. "And I believe the sentiments expressed in this resolution are widely held by the voters of San Francisco." sometimes living here, amid the crap weasels, just makes my ass drag

Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, whose battles with Daly have been widely reported over the years, is also on board.

"I never thought in my lifetime I would see a form of fascism where the corporate powers have taken total control of the government,'' McGoldrick told us. you haven't unless you went to Cuba
Daly says he sponsored the resolution at the request of the San Francisco Democratic Central Committee, which passed an identical version a couple of weeks ago.

"I'm just being a typical good Democrat,'' he said, before hopping on his bike and riding off from City Hall.

For the record, San Francisco wouldn't be the first city to call for a Bush impeachment investigation. Back in September, on a 6-1 vote, the Santa Cruz City Council made a similar call.
