Okay, Who Said Impeachment? Did Somebody Say Impeachment? Please Don’t Tell John Boehner.
How do you say the i word without saying the i word? Oh, issuing a warning to President Obama is a good place to start.
Republican congressfool Steve King from the vast plains of Iowa up and decided to say the i word without actually doing so.
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) pleaded with President Barack Obama over the weekend not to force the House of Representatives to begin impeachment hearings by taking executive action on reforming the immigration process after Congress failed to do so.
Kings says that if President Obama stops the deportation of 11 million then congress has no choice. “I think Congress has to sit down and have a serious look at the rest of this Constitution, and that includes that i-word that we don’t want to say.”
So, if they start impeachment proceedings, it’s Obama’s fault. He made them do it. They couldn’t do anything else. They had to impeach him. They didn’t want to but Obama gave them no choice. Well, I guess they could hold their breath instead, but nahhh …. that doesn’t get headlines. I guess they could go to lunch instead of impeaching but they can’t agree on where to go.
See? They HAVE to impeach him.
Altogether now, 3…2…1… it’s Obama’s fault.
And, while we’re talking about Steve King, I need to tell you that he did something else to hack me off.
So, he gets on the electric teevee and preaches against Dreamers. And the son of a motherless goat says, “Well, not all Dreamers are valedictorians.”
Well, I would listen to this old goat except for the fact that he attended Northwest Missouri State University (whose motto is “we’ve never heard of you either”) majoring in being a “wildlife officer.” He dropped out before getting a degree . So, let’s not be talking about valedictorians, Mr. Dropout.
Maybe all Dreamers aren’t valedictorians but they are all of “good moral character,” which is more than Steve King can say. King voted against legislation opposing dogfight and cock fighting.
He makes my butt hurt.
Dana Milbank’s column in today’s Washington Post:
After conservatives on Thursday brought down House Speaker John Boehner’s bill to address the border crisis, the new House Republican leadership team issued a joint statement declaring that President Obama should fix the problem himself.
“There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action,” the leadership quartet proclaimed, “to secure our borders and ensure these children are returned swiftly and safely to their countries.”
Who’s in the what now?

1Stop the deportation of 11 million? Last I heard no one is going to be deporting 11 million people. It’s not feasible.
The Repub plan is for Mitt to ask them nicely to self deport.
2What is the classic defense of an abusive husband[1]?
“She made me do it. She shouldn’t make me mad.”
Being in favor of dog fighting and cock fighting[2], fits right in with the abusive profile.
[1]Yes there are abusive wives but they seem to be in the minority.
3[2]It could be said that is all that Republicans do anymore. Oh but that’s a homophone joke and will get me fired from language school.
There is criteria required to place impeachment charges. So far, the fact that the President is doing his sworn job is not one of them. Same goes for that damn stupid so called lawsuit!
And since when doesn’t Congress have any moral agency of its own, and its always someone else’s fault, like the little children running for their lives from what I can only describe as Klingons in Central America. They made Rethugs into screwballs??? Nah. Way too late.
4I’ll be King was 100% behind Cheney on this!

5Me:
“Not all representatives are valedictorians”…. So, does that mean they should be sent home???
6Kingbat is my congresscritter. I don’t want him,didn’t vote for him,will not vote for him and will let you have him cheap. Unfortunately,due to the heavy influx of wingnut dingbats in my district,we are stuck with superior stoopid forever.
7Now Boehner has dumped the entire decision in Obama’s lap, basically expecting him to Executively Order whatever is proposed. Make up your mind, doofus, and enjoy your 5 week Rev-Up-The-Tea-Party Vacation back in the flyover zone.
8I like Old Fart’s “Not all representatives are valedictorians” and combine it with the requirement for “good moral character”….so we should (at least in print) apply those standards to Congress, and unseat every one of those idjits who doesn’t qualify.
9Sounds good to me, Elizabeth. Matter of fact, let’s ask them for copies of their transcripts and a doctor’s note with lab results showing they don’t have any communicable diseases.
10Northwest Missouri State University – My wife and I were in Northwest Missouri last month and discovered that it is near the National Geographic Center of Ignorance. Looks like King took one college tradition back home with him to Iowa.
11(Note: Not to be confused with National Geographic Magazine.)
12Fear and ignorance, the Republican m.o.
13I guess I’m relieved it wasn’t Palin, again.
