Beck Holds Blago's Feet to the Fire (VIDEO)

Today on Glenn Beck's show, Blago continued his magical mystery media tour, and unlike his other appearances, the interviewer this time (Glenn) actually didn't lob softballs at him. Tomorrow is part 2 of Glenn's interview, so we'll post that one then.



Here are my two favorite screen caps.





I love Beck's honest facial expressions. Priceless!

House To Consider Impeachment of Clinton Appointed Judge

From the glorious state of Louisiana no less. Judge Porteous is a member of the federal court in New Orleans. This is just another chapter in the ongoing judicial problems for this guy. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals back in December of 2007 recommended his impeachment.
He was appointed to the bench in 1994 by Bill Clinton.

The order lists several alleged misdeeds, citing substantial evidence from the special investigation. Among the allegations: Judge Porteous allegedly filed numerous false statements under oath during his and his wife’s personal bankruptcy proceeding; he engaged in fraudulent and deceptive conduct concerning the debt he owed to Regions Bank prior to bankruptcy; and received gifts and things of value from attorneys who had cases pending before him.

Now the fact that the Dems control Congress, and therefore all of the committees makes this even more amazing. I wouldn't expect action too fast on this however. No sense in impeaching him yet since it looks like New Orleans will send William Jefferson back to congress so there is no real place on the ballot for this guy, but look out in 2010. He could join his impeached brother in arms Alcee Hastings in Congress when all is said and done.

Liberals Pushing Impeachment

It appears the far left has a political death wish, while their constituents are not busy wishing death upon their opponents (hello, HuffPosters).

Congressional Democrats say their constituents are clamoring for something even the most liberal lawmakers promise they won't pursue: President Bush's impeachment.

"I get one call after another saying, 'Impeach the president,' " said Rep. John P. Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat and one of Mr. Bush's most relentless critics on the Iraq war.

"It's a simple process but a very divisive thing," Mr. Murtha said. "You've got to measure what it's going to do to the country, and at this point I don't see that happening. Instead we'll fight it out on the issues."

Some members speculated that the Democratic takeover of Congress and passage of Iraq withdrawal timetables in both the House and Senate have emboldened liberals across the country who want to see the president embarrassed during his final 21 months in office.

"The timing is all wrong," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat. "If this were the first two years of his administration I would advocate impeachment. A lot of people at home say impeachment, and I'm sure he committed a lot of impeachable offenses, but think about it practically."

Mr. Nadler said impeachment hearings would be pointless and would only distract the country from the presidential election next year.

When even Burger Boy Nadler and Crazy Jack are against it, you know it's a bad idea. But that won't deter the insane left fringe.

Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, said he thinks impeachment has merit. In a video on his 2008 presidential campaign site, Mr. Kucinich tells supporters: "We need to reevaluate the direction of this administration by looking at its conduct in office, by determining whether it has faithfully followed the laws of our nation. I'm prepared to start that process."
