BIll Press and the Beltway Democrats Exposed

Kucinich forces the issue
Bill Press, morning liberal radio talk show host in DC is a guy who likes to portray himself as an anti business as usual in DC type. He rails against the Bush administation and the democrtatic party's ineptitude of various sorts that takes place in DC on a daily basis. In fact though, Bill is a stauch defender of the staus quo regarding the political operations in DC as anyone who listens to his show is aware. He is a long tiime veteran of inside the beltway politics.
I happened to hear his program yesterday driving from DC to NJ, and his institutionalized biases where never more evident when it came to the following subject.
He conducted a poll regarding Kucinich's impeachement resolutions against Cheney. He stated clearly he was against the resolution because it would distract from the focus of '08 and congress would not get anything done in the subsequent year distracted by impeachment rangle and foremost: there were not enough votes to accomplish the goal anyway.
To his obvious shock (and dismay) every single caller demanded impeachment proceedings be allowed to start. As far as "not enough votes" people didn't care. They want to make a statement. They want someone to stand up and show leadership against the criminality that is taking place in DC with the Bush adminstration and their complicit joy toy democratic compatriots and let the chips fall where they may. Not enough votes be damned, and thats the message these democrtatic jackasses in DC arn't getting and thats why they all gotta go Pelosi, Hoyer, Reid, Murtha, every one of them are the proverbial tits on a boar hog.
And Press, he finally (after about 10 calls) gave up in frustration realizing that no caller on that subject was going to agree with him. He ended cuttiing off soame lady from Maine who was in the process of laying out the details on why he was wrong on every point regarding his objection to the Cheney impeachement resolution.
And one last irony that emphasizes the disconnect: it was Bill Press who repaced the Young Turks on 1260 AM in DC.
