Unpatriotic, Heretical Bile

I don't know if there is a God, or an Afterlife, but as of now I'm praying that there is a Hell where this man will receive the justice he deserves. And I don't just mean the namby-pamby 'Separation from God' hell, I mean the 'Dante's Rings' hell. Him and all of his Enron-type corporate buddies. Sometimes faith in the unknown is the easiest way to persevere.

How Cheney Keeps His Secrets

I think it is more than obvious now that Mr. Cheney is a like an animal that is cornered and dangerous. He has become a roadblock to any progress in Iraq. For the sake of the U.S. troops, Cheney must be reminded of the role of the vice resident of the United States.

Cheney will lose

The history of government is wracked with petty officials wringing their hands in spineless inactivity. Here in this real world we're making enemies faster than we can kill them.

Our name sucks globally.

Dick Cheney is the epitome of whats wrong with American government, yet there is no legal action against him. He and his puppet Bush may succeed in taking over the country in the next two years. They are trying to.

This great democracy may perish with the sound of thunderous applause from greedy, pin-headed republicans, the blind losers trying to steal our children, our money, and our flag. They are surely our bridge to the dark ages.

Remember impeachment? Its not just for sex anymore.

Cheney gets Waxed

Nice post!

Waxman and the Oversight Committee to me are the central attraction.

They're slowly getting closer and closer to the AG. They are circling him and they're almost within striking range.

Waxman is after him on the email story. He's saying the AG knew that government business was being done via non-official channels and did nothing.

Now, he's proving that the AG allowed the VP's office to flaunt the law in regards to matters of security. Linking this scandal to the Scooter Libby crime.

Next, he's going to tie the package in a sweet little bow by bringing in Abramoff.

Everyone cries for Rove's head, but the AG is a bigger prize. He's the enforcer of our laws. Where has he been?

Clueless and Dickless Cheney

1. I didn't serve in the military because I had other priorities.

2. We'll be greeted as liberators.

3. Al-Qaida and Sadam are co-conspirators in 9/11.

4. The insurgency is in its last throes.

5. Senator Leahy, go perform an impossible anatomical task.

6. Scooter Libby is a great public servant.

7. The Vice President's office is not part of the executive branch.

This man's mind never returned from the undisclosed location.

New Rules?

Just read the letter to Dick from Henry Waxman. It give the VP until July 12th to respond to the inquiries.

The question is what will Henry do after Dick tells him to go F himself. Hope the Dem have some CAJONES to not just let it go. Also hope the MSM will report on this. It is a huge story that is developing. It does have tremendous impact on us as to the protection of our freedom from a rogue administration.

He REALLY is Darth cheney. Has there ever been a more arrogant, corrupt, or evil man to occupy the VP post? He may have the greatest criminal mind we will ever see. He makes Spiro Agnew look like Pee Wee Herman.

So if he's not part of the executive...

Then he's part of the legislative? Can the Senate vote to toss him out of office? And into a cell @ Gitmo for a lifetime of torture -- er, I meant "debriefing"??

Seriously. He is surrendering his tenuous hold on "executive privilege," is he not? So let's see those visitor logs when Big Oil dictated energy policy.

ENOUGH of this bastard, can we get the Dems a spine transplant so that these corrupt and evil devils can be scraped off the shoe of the US already!??!?!

maybe he will have another heart attack

and then he will have to live life in a black uniform, complete with cowl and breathe deeply... That is the Darth Cheney we all know. Or maybe he will just die... but imagine what rollover Pelosi would do if she moved up?

Bush has what his father had, a VP that people like even less and wouldn't want in power.

Darth Cheney

Posters have said this already, Cheney makes Bush look like a decent person, he at least has a heart! WHat I don't understand, is that the media was all over Paris Hilton when she thought she was above the law, why doesn't the media, congress, the Senate get all over Cheney.

I really think Cheney first and then Rove, are the real masters of darkness. I think Cheney thrives on pain, and in a sick way and I think psychiatrists, profilers would have a field day, but who was the master of death in the gestapo days, I think Cheney is a lost genetic relative. The torture issues, the ideas, Cheney! He seems to have built a iron fortress around himself, which is even worse.

Can Cheney be Charged With Obstruction?

I just read the letter sent to Cheney's office from Waxman that is the basis for this article.

http://oversight.house.gov/documents/20070621093952.pdf

There's some pretty fundamental questions at the end of the letter asking things such as how did he come to see the OVP as neither part of the Executive nor the Legislative branch? What precedent was set before Lord Cheney annointed himself and his office a 4th branch of government? Any constitutional scholars out there want to take a stab at this one?

What I am left wondering is if Cheney stonewalls Waxman on this letter, is it within Waxmans' right to charge Cheney with any sort of obstruction violations? Does anyone know what the implications are if Cheney ignores this letter from Waxman? Subpoenas? Possible criminal charges?

Two whopping red flags

First, you have to ask yourselves: What are he and his department hiding?

Second: How on earth does someone who has so little regard for the law be number two [number one] in our government?

Dick's flagrant disrespect for simple security measures speaks volumes. He's telling the country: "Go f... yourselves."

But then, that's all this administration has been telling us from day one. And we let it.
