It’s not just peach pie, it’s Impeachment Pie, the dessert that’s become famous at Chocolate, a restaurant in downtown Santa Cruz.

“People come here just for that,” says Zeya Schindler, a veteran waiter at the restaurant. “I’m not always sure if it’s because the pie is very good, or because they want to impeach Mr. Bush.”

A new poll finds 42 percent of voters would support impeaching Bush “if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq.”

Support for impeachment “was much higher than I expected,” pollster John Zogby told the Washington Post.

By comparison, in October 1998, as the House moved to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, a Zogby poll found that 39 percent of voters supported the House action, while 56 percent opposed it.

    Dan Froomkin, on a Washington Post blog (via Free Speech Zone), on the paucity of media coverage:

    Only three mainstream outlets that I can find made even cursory mention of the poll last week when it came out.

    You also wouldn’t know it judging from the political discourse in Washington, but that makes a little more sense. After all, impeachment is for all practical purposes a political act, not a legal one. So with a Republican-controlled Congress that doesn’t even like to perform basic White House oversight, it’s basically a moot point.

    Nevertheless, could there be anything that 42 percent of Americans agree on that the media care about so little?
