Catymology

The other day, Rocky from Artsycatsy left me a comment that had me nodding my head in agreement:

I think impoochment should be on the table because this country is going to the dogs!

Now I gotta get back to the dining room and wait for some Easter dinner to fall OFF the table!!

Happy Easter,
Rocky

I whined until my human got on the thingpoddy and looked up "impoochment." It turns out that the word is extremely rare. Other than Rocky, only one other blogger seems to have employed the term: lulu57 used it in December 2005 in response to a post on Daily Kos, which was written from the point of view of a dog:

• wurking for chainee (4.00 / 5)

  is grounds for impoochment.

Impoochment surfaced again on March 6, 2007, when Rocky used the word in his press conference on the Scooter Libby trial:

Cheney may be going to the dogs, as well; rumors of his impoochment are rabidly circulating.

Rocky has the right idea, although the paucity of posts advocating impoochment to date indicates that the term "impoochment" has yet to enter the mainstream of political dialogue. Perhaps the status of this rare term will change once this sign begins appearing on blogs across the catosphere:
