The story is a little more interesting than the OP's nondescript amazement. This blog suggests the domain name and many others may have been registered a long time ago (in political terms) in attempts either to squat on the name in case it became valuable or to prevent it from being used by others for purposes the registrants didn't like.

Register Your Discontent! II: Speculating About The Speculators

In our previous installment, I went digging through WHOIS to determine the availability of domains calling for the impeachment of 2008?s crop of presidential contenders. It may be too early to consider any of them locks for their respective party nominations, but it turned out that it?s not too late to plan for their removal from office.

I?m not sure these observations are worth much, but obviously I believe they are worth a blog post:

• According to the available information, it appears that none of these domains were registered prior to 2003 and most were snapped up in just the last year, which suggests that all the the resgistered domains in fact refer to the each candidate, and not say, other people named Clark or Paul. This seems to be true even of ImpeachKerry.com and ImpeachKerry.org, but it is also possible they were previously maintained through another registrar.
  
• The biggest category of registrations are those with no identifiable owner: They are controlled through private registration intermediaries Domains by Proxy and the more obscure Domain Discreet of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. These include all the Edwards sites save one, ImpeachHillary.org and ImpeachHillary.net, ImpeachKerry.com and ImpeachKerry.org, ImpeachBrownback.com and ? for some reason ? ImpeachPaul.com.
  .
  .
• Meanwhile, Obama sites are like potato chips ? you can?t have just one. In late December, Michael Meder of Emeryville, CA helped himself to .net and .org. Then a few days after Obama?s announcement, Robert McKee of Austin, TX picked up .us and .info.
  
• The exception is ImpeachObama.com, which was registered to an entity called Registered to Protect From Squatters on July 15, 2004 ? two weeks before Obama delivered his famous convention speech. The constitutional visionary here goes by the name DomainGoon, and he?s a pro, controlling ImpeachGilmore.com, ImpeachBiden.com and ImpeachVilsack.com as Script Registrations. (He ? really, what woman would call herself ?goon? anything? ? maintains other prized domains, such as abughraib.com, registered two days after the April 2004 ?60 Minutes II? report.) I believe it?s fair to credit him with ImpeachClark.com and ImpeachPataki.com ? those are owned by a company called Sunlane Media LLC, which shares the same Encinitas, CA address and contact information as Script Registrations. Most of these were registered in the second half of 2006, but ImpeachBiden.com was picked up in December 2004, the day after Biden told Don Imus: ?I?m going to proceed as if I?m going to run.? And ImpeachClark.com was registered Sept. 11, 2003, the week before Clark threw his hat into the ring the last time. The guy is good.

[mxyzptlk]

wouldn't it also be against the rules to quote someone's private info?

furthermore, how private is "Whois Privacy Protection Service, Inc. " anyway?

1. The domain registration info public information available on any whois site.

2. It's an anonymous "proxy" registration. No private informations were killed in posting the information.
