Welcome to ImpeachmentWatch™, your daily diary that tracks Impeachment, whether the Mainstream Media covers it or not. Every day we'll bring you the highlights and the lowlights of the quest to hold President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney accountable for their high crimes and misdemeanors against this country, its people and the world.
We'll be doing this everyday until they're gone. January 20, 2009 or Bust. Please note that tomorrow is Friday and if you support Impeachment, you really should join the simple protest started by the good people at The World Can't Wait: Wear Orange. Seriously, that's all you have to do, Wear Orange on Friday, Every Friday, until they're gone.
