Impeachment doomed to fail from the start?

From JB Baylon:

I DID not get to hear him myself, but House Speaker Jose de Venecia is said to have remarked that he, together with Antipolo Rep. Ronnie Puno, has the commitment of more than enough congressmen to doom the impeachment bid against President GMA "whatever the evidence."

Speaker JDV is said to have made this remark last week not once, but twice, once before the Foreign Correspondents’ Association of the Philippines and once more in an interview with ANC.

If this remark – made in the usual JDV unguarded moment when the truth somehow slips through all the other hogwash – is accurate, then indeed the impeachment bid is doomed from the beginning. The boast of the President - "Impeach me" - may have been made with the full knowledge that no mater what evidence the pro-impeach group can come up with, they will fail. Perhaps it was the invitation of the Chief Executive to the Chief Clapper and his gang to dance the Cha-Cha with her that helped doom the impeachment bid; or perhaps it simply is the way the majority works, the perverted type of politics the President claims is the reason our country has been going backwards, while she takes advantage of its perversion!

But if the remark of JDV is indeed accurate – disgustingly accurate –then there is far more than just the impeachment bid that is doomed.
