George McGovern Calls for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney

Former Sen. George McGovern, the Democratic nominee who was beaten in the Nixon landslide in 1972 (and whose campaign offices were burgled in the Watergate robbery), never called for Nixon's impeachment. He was afraid that it would sound like personal revenge. But, now, he says the case for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney is so much clearer (and the crime so much greater), that he is openly calling for Congress to impeach them in order to save the Constitution. Go McGovern. Read the full story in the Washington Post here.

Now this is interesting -- McGovern is a senior statesman who may have been too anti-establishment in 1972 but may have his finger on the pulse. I still feel that unless it's really an open and shut case impeachment is likely to be more distraction than help.

But I'll have to consider McGovern's position.
