From Metro Times:

Beseeched to impeach
by News Hits staff
11/21/2007

For the second week in a row, News Hits was out trying to relax while cadging free food and drinks at a fete only to find ourselves forced to do some actual reporting. We blame John Conyers, who has twice been put on the hot seat by admirers imploring the esteemed Democratic congressman from Detroit to hold hearings on the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

But Conyers is keeping mum on his plans.

First it was liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes turning up the flame on JC at Peace Action's 50th anniversary soiree. Then, this past Sunday, it was peace activist Cindy Sheehan who cranked the temp to high.

Read somewhere (here even?) that Pelosi threatened to remove him from the committee chairmanship if he pursued impeachment. I imagine he's collecting info while biding his time, waiting to pounce. Losing the Chairmanship to a Pelosi ass kisser would totally kill any chance.
