Impeachment pie has more takers
July 5th, 2005It’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.
