Go-go-Cheney-impeachment
Sully reports and muses at 1:27pm:
A clear majority of Americans now favor impeaching the vice-president; and they’re evenly split on the president. I wonder what the numbers were for Clinton ten years ago.
As if by magic, Ana Marie Cox answers with a timestamp one minute later 59 minutes earlier at 12:28pm:
Aug-Sept 1998 (Before Impeachment)
- Average support for impeachment and removal (10 polls): 26%
- Average support for hearings (6 polls): 36%
In comparison with the current figures Cox quotes:
- 45% favor “the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush;” 46% oppose.
- 54% favor “US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney;” 40% oppose.
Further magic an hour and a half or so later, as Adam of TheCrossedPond.com quotes two posts from two other blogs and adds no original content of his own, to make his own post.
UPDATE: The numbers, they make me blind.
