Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more liberal than congresswomen Nancy Peloci; along comes Cindy Sheeman. The anti-war activist who lost her son in Iraq wants Pelosi to start impeachment proceedings against President Bush in two weeks or she threatens to run for her seat in congress.

First things first.  I Feel for Mrs. Sheehan. She lost her son in a crappy war that Bush has royally screwed up.  Liberals are desparate to impeach someone mostly because they’re still pissed about what happend to Bill Clinton and want revenge. Bush is an idiot and has messed up most of his second term, but he hasn’t done anything that would warrant impeachment. Further, impeaching Bush isn’t going to take him out of office nor change his mind about the war. It will not bring home any troops any faster. It’ s an impractical lashing out by a frustrated group of people. I would rather congress spend it’s time figuring out how they can change of course of the war in a practical and sane way. It’s just not as easy as some people think.

Shehan has no chance to overtake Pelosi. Pelosi has the support of the party, she has experience, and for better or for worse, she hasn’t completely screwed anything up yet. Putting a wild eyed maverick with a single purpose in office is a very very bad idea.  San Fran voters are a bunch of nut jobs to be sure, but I don’t think they’re that foolish. Cindy Sheehan looks more like a crazy lunatic with her wild publicity stunts than a serious thoughtful person with something interesting and useful to say.
