Congressional Democrats say their constituents are clamoring for something even the most liberal lawmakers promise they won't pursue: President Bush's impeachment.
"I get one call after another saying, 'Impeach the president,' " said Rep. John P. Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat and one of Mr. Bush's most relentless critics on the Iraq war.
"It's a simple process but a very divisive thing," Mr. Murtha said. "You've got to measure what it's going to do to the country, and at this point I don't see that happening. Instead we'll fight it out on the issues."
Some members speculated that the Democratic takeover of Congress and passage of Iraq withdrawal timetables in both the House and Senate have emboldened liberals across the country who want to see the president embarrassed during his final 21 months in office.
"The timing is all wrong," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat. "If this were the first two years of his administration I would advocate impeachment. A lot of people at home say impeachment, and I'm sure he committed a lot of impeachable offenses, but think about it practically."
Mr. Nadler said impeachment hearings would be pointless and would only distract the country from the presidential election next year.

Murtha would vote for it in a New York minute, don’t kid yourself, he’s just waiting for someone else to walk point. Hard to believe that POS was ever a Marine!

Exactly...If I had a choice, he’d be my first.
Are the nutballs clamoring for impeachment ever specific about what impeachable offense the President committed?
The idiots will be screeching for impeachment on inauguration day.
Those libs just can’t get over that Clinton-perjury-lying -under-oath-thing.
My World War II Marine Corps uncle is 83 and cusses Murtha a lot. For an old guy, he can still cuss Murtha.
At least we’d have President Cheney for the rest of the term.
Murtha Watch ping!
Exactly...not only did that dumb botox granny step in it,she fell down and rolled in it. Man she needs a serious smackdown by the President when she gets back. GO BUCKS!
Name one Nadler
Three simple words, Mr. Murtha:
GATHERING OF EAGLES
I'd absolutely love it.
Well, as you contemplate impeaching President Bush, please consider your response to YOUR having caused a Civil War.
“...and I’m sure he committed a lot of impeachable offenses, but think about it practically.”
—Jerrold Nadler, New York Democrat.
What impeachable offenses? Do you have any evidence Jerrold, you dick?
