I think we all have to have a great deal of respect for Dennis Kucinich who has tried time and again to have Bush impeached for truly obvious misdeeds. He has faced Nancy Pelosi's "no impeachment" position and has added to his following in single Congressional digits every time (Pelosi doesn't even want Karl Rove brought to justice for ignoring a Congressional warrant from Conyers' committee).

Kucinich just put out this letter in response to the revelations by the Pentagon that we got into Iran due to a lie which Bush was aware of. Instead of bringing 35 charges, he is bringing only one... maybe the rest of Congress can absorb one issue.

One thing Progressives have constantly been up in arms about since we helped the Democrats win back Congress in 2006 is the FISA fight. Many of us think that this bill was completely unneccesary, and that it was a bad idea. It wasn't that we needed new, broad ranging powers for the Federal Government to keep us safe, we just needed a competent administration in place to use laws already in place to protect us. That is what failed us on that terrible day of 9-11-01.

If you are a registered Democrat, living in New York State and believe that Bush and Cheney deserve to be impeached, this may be your last, best chance to get action. Adam Sullivan is challenging Rep. Jerrold Nadler for the right to represent the people of New York's 8th Congressional District.

This is a slightly changed repost of an earlier diary.

Dennis Kucinich will be on Equal Time Radio this TODAY Friday the 13th from Noon to 1pm PDT / 3pm to 4pm EDT.  Now don't be afraid.   :)

He is fulfilling a promise he made months ago. He was supposed to be on the show but got tied up at a local event. So he promised to come on the show at a later date.

Well after Dennis Kucinich put forward his Articles of Impeachment, they figured NOW was a good time to have him on the show.

Equal Time Radio is a small local progressive talk show that is self funded. It is based in an area near Tacoma WA. Their show can be heard every Friday from Noon to 1pm PDT / 3pm to 4pm EDT and Dennis Kucinich will get the first half of the show.

In the Tacoma, Olympia, Seattle, and Everett areas of WA state, just tune into 1180 AM this Friday (and every Friday) from Noon to 1pm.  They can also be heard live online by going to Equal Time Radio's website and clicking on the KLAY banner on the left. All shows are also archived and available on the Equal Time website. They usually get the show up online no later then Sunday but usually it will happen by the end of the day on Friday.

KLAY 1180 AM is the home station for Equal Time Radio. Most shows are self funded and ETR is the ONLY Progressive/Liberal/Democratic talk radio show on KLAY.

Remember to support local progressive radio. Join Dennis Kucinich on Equal Time Radio, this Friday from Noon to 1pm PDT, talking about IMPEACHMENT!

I just wrote the following letter to my Democratic senator, Amy Klobuchar, regarding the Articles of Impeachment that that lovable leprichaun of a man, Dennis Kucinich, unleashed into the House of Representatives yesterday.

As Democrats, we all know in our hearts that the Bush administration has been corrupt from the start; but we're very cautious about doing anything about it; we figure that we can wait it out, fix things after Bush is done.

Well, I see the advantages of that, but if you'll humor me for a moment, I'll let you in on my argument that this shouldn't be ignored, that we'll be better off, both politically and ethically if we take this fight to Bush's doorstep.

Go to C-Span.

Feel free to use this as an open thread!

Whoa!

UPDATE: BIGTIME KUDOS to Kevin22262 in his posts, below, and for providing a link to all of Dennis Kucinich's 35 Articles of Impeachment, as noted here: http://www.democrats.com/35-articles-of-impeachment

Apparently he's reading 35 Articles of Impeachment. This could take a little while.

Earlier this week, Ben Smith wrote a post about Barack Obama's prominent early supporters, who came on board when he was seen as having little chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Here is his list:

Senator Richard Durbin
Former Majority Leader Tom Daschle
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller
Oprah Winfrey
Iowa Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald
Former Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Gordon Fischer
Ted Sorensen
Virginia Governor Tim Kaine
Alabama Rep. Artur Davis
New Hampshire Rep. Paul Hodes

Smith left out John and Jackie Norris, who in my opinion did more for Obama's campaign in Iowa than Tom Miller, Mike Fitzgerald and Gordon Fischer combined. (I explain why here.)

But that's not the point of this diary. It's Saturday night on a holiday weekend, so just for fun, I'm starting a discussion about which Democratic presidential candidate had the best celebrity supporters--that is, people famous outside the political realm.

Follow me after the jump if you care to hear more.
