Dennis Kucinich

On November 14, 2007, Dennis Kucinich was honored with the BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award for introducing into the House of Representatives articles to impeach Richard Cheney.

We noted at the time:

Indeed, if this were a Democratic administration, successful impeachment proceedings would have been launched by the Republicans in Congress years ago. It is a testament to the mainstream media's and D.C. establishment's double standard that both the Republican and Democratic leaders consider any effort to impeach Cheney or Bush as an "embarrassment" to the Democrats, despite the documented chronic illegal behavior of the White House. It's shameful that so many members of Congress sworn to uphold the Constitution turned their backs on it.
Little has changed in terms of the lack of justice in regards to Bush and Cheney on Capitol Hill.

But Dennis Kucinich is still holding them accountable and is now holding Bush accountable after introducing 35 articles of impeachment against him, during a late night session of the House on June 9, 2008.

This week's BuzzFlash reader nominator praises Kucinich's action:


Because tonight, June 9, Congressman Dennis Kucinich kept the U.S. House in session til after midnight while he read his 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. Kucinich addressed the House for more than 3 hours non-stop, during which he described every crime, corruption, and failing of this Administration, and further how all these many actions should be viewed ultimately as transgressions against the American People and against the Oath of Office of the President of the U.S.

Tonight, Dennis Kucinich laid it all out there, he put it all "on the table," and most importantly he put it INTO the Congressional Record, and for that I believe him to have proven himself to be a truly heroic American Patriot deserving of the coveted Wings of Justice recognition.
The most recent revelations by Scott McClellan are only the latest to reveal that the Bush openly defied the law, led the nation to war on lies, and committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

For having the guts and integrity to demand that justice be done, Dennis Kucinich once again merits being honored with the BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.

2. At the very least, the charges are now a matter of record.

It bothers me tremendously that ANY Democrat would let the actions of this administration stand without attempts to hold them accountable for what they've done.

3. I don't think 3 hours is nearly enough time to chronicle all Bush's crimes...

... but it is one hell of a good start.
