"The Tea Party congressman, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, hopes to find e-mails linking the White House to the I.R.S. examination of groups with a “Tea Party” label seeking tax-exempt status."

UGH, the Tea Party. Just fucking UGH.

I'm sorry but does anyone else find "Senator Ted Cruz (R-Canada)" as hilarious as I do?

I kept reading his name as 'Benvolio' and flashing back to Romeo and Juliet. It was very confusing.

This guy isn't 'kooky' - he's a grade-A, delusional asshole.

I have to admit - there's an awful little part of me that just finds these weirdo politicians enormously entertaining. It's because I don't have to live with them, of course; our home grown ones make me fume. But honestly, this guy - you couldn't write him as a character in a film. He'd be rgarded as too ridiculous to have any kind of believability.

ETA- The icon is a reference to the impeachment plan, of course!

The arrogance and self-righteousness of this jackass is off the scale.

This article is just really poorly written. It's neither got a point to argue nor a narrative to convey information. t's just all over the place, like they published the outline rather than the finished article. This is just really halfassed.

"I hate the president. Is there anyway to impeach him?"

Yes, usually you have to do something impeachable to be impeached. I'm certain that every president has at some point, but seriously, find the real reason first instead of shoehorning the process around your dislike for him.
