Kucinich makes Slashdot

[Recursion]

Snicker at the geeks if you want, but that's big. It's about as big as non-"official" media can get.

This has legs. Just be patient.

1. YAY Slashdot!!!! K&R!!!!

"Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) spent 4 hours reading into the Congressional Record 35 articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. Interestingly, those articles (63-page PDF via Coral CDN) include not just complaints about signing statements and the war in Iraq, but also charges that the President "Sp on American Citizens, Without a Court-Ordered Warrant, in Violation of the Law and the Fourth Amendment,' 'Direct Telecommunications Companies to Create an Illegal and Unconstitutional Database of the Private Telephone Numbers and Emails of American Citizens,' and 'Tamper with Free and Fair Elections.' These are issues near and dear to the hearts of many here, so it's worth discussing. What little mainstream media coverage there is tends to be brief (USA Today, CBS News, UPI, AP, Reuters)."
The (Democratic) House leadership has said that the idea of impeachment is "off the table." The Judiciary Committee has not acted on articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney introduced by Kucinich a year ago.

2. Actually, that's a REALLY good thing.

Because a lot, and I mean A LOT of bloggers and people with advanced internet usage frequent Slashdot. This news gets to them, it gets all over the internet. Then the major networks will HAVE to notice.

3. Yeah, that's what I was getting at

Slashdot, along with craigslist, invented the whole "Web 2.0" idea (which really means "all users share one atomic submission standard", but leave that). It got there. Give it another 4 or 5 days.

4. First comment: "Impeaching him would have been a better idea 7 years ago."

First reply to that: "Dude, you can't charge somebody with crimes they haven't committed yet."
