California Conservative

Because it’s like their job.

Reuters reports: “The municipal council in the liberal California city of Berkeley plans to give voters a say on a measure calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, the mayor said on Wednesday.”

“A number of local governments across the United States have pressed resolutions urging impeachment, but the Berkeley city council’s goal is to be the first to put the issue directly to voters, Mayor Tom Bates said in an interview.

“This is basically giving the people a chance to talk, to join the debate,” Bates said. “The issues go way beyond impeaching the president. They go to safeguarding the Constitution. This administration has run roughshod over the Constitution.”

Cheered on by globe-trotting Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan, who has moved to Berkeley, the council voted unanimously Tuesday night to have the city attorney review the measure to place it on the November ballot.”

As AllahPundit quips: “Gee, I wonder if it’ll pass.”

For sure, like gas.

By the way, did Reuters really describe Sheehan as a “globe-trotting Iraq war protester”? *puke* Obviously, they must be referring to her time hanging out with anti-American dictator Hugo Chavez in Venezuala or supporting military deserters in Canada.

Keep trotting, Cindy. Don’t stop. Don’t come back. And take more of your Berkeley friends with you.
