A Massachusetts Democrat caused a flap Thursday at a House hearing when he said the real motivation behind Speaker John Boehner's planned lawsuit against President Obama was to appease "cuckoo clocks" in the GOP who are calling for impeachment.

"This has nothing to do with the law. This has to do with trying to manage some of the extremists, in your party—some of the cuckoo clocks who have been talking about impeachment," said Rep. Jim McGovern, to Republicans, during a Rules Committee hearing on the planned legal action.

McGovern's quip came on the heels of Sarah Palin's call for Obama's impeachment earlier this month in an op-ed. But the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee was not the first to do so. Over recent years, lesser-known GOP politicians, including some House and Senate members, have occasionally raised the idea of impeachment—or suggested that it should at least be considered.

1. 'Cuckoo Clocks' ROTFLMAO

[gratuitous]

2. Oh noes! A flap!

Something tells me that certain sectors of our popular media will be far more upset by McGovern's remarks than by the ongoing shenanigans of the do-less-than-nothing Congress that Boehner is currently presiding over. The fact that McGovern is 100% right will be of no account, because he caused a "flap."

4. Yes of course,

and Dems complain that President Obama is 'cool.' He's rational, picks his fights carefully.
