Gene Lyons on G.O.P. talk of impeaching Barack Obama. He's right that the chatter is all about huckster politicians trying to drum up support and cash from people who are so deranged about Obama that they'll rally to talk like that.
I have a special e-mail address that I use when I have to sign up on odd websites to read stuff. Each week or two, that address gets a message from someone who essentially says, "Don't you hate Hillary Clinton? I know how to destroy her if you'll only give me money." He comes up with all sorts of outrages she's committed, inarguable crimes that will put her behind bars, etc. I've been getting these since before she was elected Senator from New York, before she was Secretary of State, etc. She keeps succeeding and this guy keeps promising that if only folks would send him more cash, she'd be on Death Row somewhere. He keeps sending these e-mails so they must be worth his time…
In the same sense, there's bucks and attention to be harvested by telling the right crowd that Obama must be impeached. And that crowd is so eager to undo his election as President (twice!) that you don't even have to have a high crime or misdemeanor in mind…
