QuoteTexas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee argued Wednesday the Republican effort to sue President Obama is nothing but a veiled attempt to impeach him — something Democrats never did to President George W. Bush:

Quote from: Sheila Jackson LeeI ask my colleagues to oppose this resolution for it is in fact a veiled attempt at impeachment and it undermines the law that allows a president to do his job. A historical fact: President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists. We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.

Except former Rep. Dennis Kucinich did actually introduce a bill to impeach Bush in 2008 (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HE01258:@@@P) — and Jackson Lee actually was a co-sponsor to the legislation.

What a lying sack of shit. Then again, that's what politicians do.
