News you didn't read

Yesterday, Rep. Dennis Kucinich read articles of impeachment against Chief Executive Bush on the House floor. I'm linking to my own liveblogging because that's the most comprehensive coverage that I can find, so please link to it; the national media has locked the story out almost entirely. I have links to the Congressional Record transcript and the C-Span video, so you can read and/or watch the original material. (At least, if you can get said video to play right, it was giving me problems this morning.)

Here are three other notes I was going to post last night but forgot:

1: Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) is now working for Senator John McCain's presidential campaign, encouraging Democrats to vote for the embodiment of Mr. Bush's third term that Senator McCain has become.

2: Fabulus Maximus at RGE Economics thinks Chief Executive Mr. Bush severely damaged American credibility with the trip to Saudi Arabia for more oil last month, describing it as a trip to "beg for oil" and - much worse - being refused.

3: More destruction of evidence, in this case, of torture:

US interrogators of "war on terror" detainees were instructed to destroy handwritten notes that might have exposed harsh or even illegal questioning methods at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a lawyer for one of the prisoners said Sunday. Navy Lieutenant Commander Bill Kuebler said in a statement sent to reporters he considers the notes crucial to the defense of his client, Canadian Omar Khadr, during his upcoming murder trial by a special military tribunal at the US naval base.

I literally feel sick when I see Lieberman's lizardly face

I would like to poke Lieberman in the eye. And as a CT voter (who did not, in point of fact, vote for Lieberman), I can firmly say that he has given up any interest whatsoever in actually serving the constituency for which he was elected.
