A GOP senator floats impeaching Obama on Benghazi -- here are 14 other crazy times they've made the same plea
BY ALEX SEITZ-WALD
Taking things to their logical conclusion this afternoon, Oklahoma Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe suggested on a conservative radio show that President Obama may be be impeached over Benghazi. Of all the great cover-ups in history the Pentagon papers, the Iran-Contra, Watergate and all the rest of them this is going to go down as the most serious, Inhofe said, a tad hyperbolically. People may be starting to use the I-word, he added.
Theres no doubt that people will start using the the I-word around Benghazi considering theyve already invoked impeachment so so so many other times. Heres a brief history of threats to impeach President Obama that have gone nowhere, in no particular order:
Fast and Furious: Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner threatened to impeach administration officials and possibly the president over the botched gun running investigation, telling Attorney General Eric Holder. If we dont get to the bottom of this and that requires your assistance on that there is only one alternative that Congress has and it is called impeachment.
Boston bombing: A Washington Times columnist called for impeaching Obama after the Boston Marathon Bombing because he fails to realize that we are in a clash of civilizations between radical Islam and the West.
Joe Sestak: Dick Morris, Americas best columnist, and Sean Hannity, Americas best TV host, agreed that it was a de facto bribe and an impeachable offense when the White House allegedly pushed former Pennsylvania Senate candidate Joe Sestak to out of a Democratic primary.
