Blair Impeachment (maybe, not likely)

http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/28430.html

.....a press conference at Westminster to mark the placing of the motion to impeach the prime minister on the official daily agenda of the House of Commons, known as the order paper.
Other personalities from the world of entertainment backing the motion include Terry Jones, the writer and former member of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Corin Redgrave, the actor.
It will be the first time such a campaign has been organised in 198 years, when Viscount Melville, the first lord of the admiralty, was acquitted.
It will follow today's tabling of the motion, which is expected to be debated in January or February. The key aspect is that Mr Blair is expected to appear in person to defend his position in leading Britain to war. He is not expected to lose the vote.
So far, about 24 MPs from the Tories, Scottish and Welsh nationalists, as well as George Galloway, the Respect MP for Glasgow Kelvin, have signed the motion, some Labour MPs could still sign the motion nearer the time of the debate. .....
