Cheney Impeachment Bill Gets Another Co-sponsor
Rep. Albert R. Wynn (D-MD) has signed on as the latest cosponsor to Kucinich's impeachment letter. A Kucininch aide confirmed Wynn's addition as co-sponsor in an interview with RAW STORY Friday but said the congressman was not commenting on the impeachment bill at this time.
Curious. Wynn is a target for primary defeat in '08 by the progressive base. He heads the Congressional Black Caucus, to be sure, but he's wayyy too chummy with K Street and Fox News, the latter with whom he tried to push a Dem debate before real Dems stepped in. This co-sponsorship, then, looks like an opportunity for Wynn to make nice with those to his left. Although, that he won't comment on it smells like he wants it every which way. Stay tuned.

I would sign on for his defeat--Wynn is a major slimebag, who, in addition to his political sliminess, is married (or was during the events in question) and can't keep his hands to himself (or couldn't when he tried to feel up a friend of mine, who was in high school at the time).
