"Working out of a cramped office in his Jackson Heights apartment,

Robert Fertik has one clear goal for 2006: impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

A longtime Democratic activist and Web logger, Mr. Fertik is the man behind ImpeachPAC, a political action committee aimed at backing congressional candidates who would support the introduction of impeachment articles against Messrs. Bush and Cheney. Pointing to the president's sagging poll numbers, Mr. Fertik said a majority of Americans agree with him.

"The problem is not a lack of support for impeachment," Mr. Fertik, 48, said in an interview. "The problem is a lack of leadership."

In that spirit, ImpeachPAC is targeting prominent anti-war activists to join its Citizens Impeachment Commission in the hopes of elevating what is now a far-fetched possibility into the mainstream of political discourse. Among those who have signed up thus far is the "anti-war mom," Cindy Sheehan..."

And then there's this:

"Though Mr. Fertik is confident he can generate a groundswell of support for impeaching the president, the GOP shows little sign of fretting. A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, Tracey Schmitt, dismissed the effort as "fringe, to say the least."

"If Democrats choose to align themselves with such a laughable campaign, it will be at their own peril," Ms. Schmitt said."

--Does the arrogant and condescending Ms. Schmitt laugh to mask her tears? Maybe this year, maybe this year.

2. Thank you, Senator.

:hi: I just like to see the word "impeachment" upfront and as often as possible.
