WASHINGTON (CNN) — The House voted Tuesday to stop Rep. Dennis Kucinich's, D-Ohio, effort to bring up a debate on impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich, who is vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, has tried to bring up the issue on three separate occasions. The House voted 218-194 to send it to committee, effectively killing it.

On the House floor, Kucinich said Cheney "acted in a manner contrary to his trust as vice president." Kucinich also said Cheney harmed national security by openly threatening Iran.

"Vice President Richard B. Cheney by such conduct is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office," Kucinich said.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino criticized Democrats in Congress for spending time on this debate rather than focusing on health care for children and veterans.

"This Congress has not sent a single appropriations bill to the president’s desk this year – a new record of failure," Perino said.

"Yet, they find time to spend an entire work period on futile votes to impeach the vice president or to pass contempt citations against the president’s chief of staff and former counsel. It is this behavior that leaves the American people shaking their head in wonder at this Congress,” Perino added.


I'm shaking my head in wonder at what fucking planet Dana Perino came from! I swear to God, do I have to stand at the fucking top of a mountain and scream it to her stupid ass?! IF CHENEY AND HIS GOONS GOT KICKED THE FUCK OUT OF OFFICE, MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SUBMIT THE IDEA 3 FUCKING TIMES YOU GODDAMN MORON! Then congress could take care of other issues! Congress is trying to get to the root of the fucking problem, you can't solve anything if you start in the middle, the same shit will just keep happening over and over again like it has been the past 7 years! Holy fuck these people in these positions AMAZE me sometimes!
