Today, Republican members in the House blocked the efforts of the Democratic leadership to kill a Dennis Kucinich sponsored resolution to impeach Vice President Cheney. (Linked via Drudge). As a result this Republican manuevering, the House will proceed with a vote on his impeachment.

According to Kucinich, Cheney is guilty of deception with regards to the Iraq War and belligerent actions with regards to Iran.

Apparently Rep. John Shaddeg (R-AZ)came up with the idea of throwing Republican votes in favor of bringing the measure in order to embarrass Pelosi & Co. by 1) letting the American people actually see the unvarnished nuttiness of the House Democrat back-benchers and 2) forcing Pelosi to then have to (presumably) go on record voting against the impeachment of Vice President Cheney and deal with the ensuing wrath of the nutroots.

I say three cheers for Rep. Shaddeg. If we can do more of this type of thing- holding the Democratic leadership accountable for the lunacy of their base, we will have a good shot of regaining a majority vote from the American people in 2008.
