For four years, Vice President Dick Cheney has resisted routine oversight of his office’s handling of classified information, and when the National Archives unit that monitors classification in the executive branch objected, the vice president’s office suggested abolishing the oversight unit, according to documents released yesterday by a Democratic congressman.
He tried to abolish the very unit that was created to monitor him. Think Tony Soprano, without the charm.
It gets worse:
Vice President Dick Cheney has asserted his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government, and therefore not bound by a presidential order governing the protection of classified information by government agencies, according to a new letter from Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., to Cheney.
Is there any better argument for Irving Lewis "Scooter" Libby serving the longest sentence possible? These conspirators, led by mob boss Cheney, treat our sacred Constitution like an old man just asking to be shot in the face.
In other countries brutal, narcissistic, power-mad despots who pervert their country's Constitution like Cheney have faced stiffer penalties. While I don't advocate capital punishment for his acts of treason, surely we've past the point where anyone believes we won't learn that Cheney abused power even worse, and so much of it when he and ideological thugs (along with their puppet Presidente) jammed us into this illegal, ill-advised, tragically executed Iraq War.
Wait, it's actually gone well for Cheney, if you look at the staggering profit he stands to make off of his Halliburton options.
Worse will be if they get away with bombing Iran -- if they haven't already ignited WWIII.
Well, it's time to make Dick and George pay the piper. Hell, just a few more points and El Presidente will break Nixon's record 23% approval rating basement. Three-fourths (3/4) of this country know Bush is a loser, but I'd argue it isn't that we wouldn't want to have a beer with him anymore (although I really wouldn't -- ever). It's because we all know he wipes his ass with our U.S. Constitution, which is just the same as fouling all of us with no regard; no regard for our wishes, no regard for our 74%.
It's not that they just steal money for themselves or their cronies. They've stolen our whole idea about America, and our reputation in the world.
Well, you know what society traditionally does to the lawless.
Let's punish them.

It's becoming almost impossible *not* to impeach this guy.

Sen. Dick Durban (D-IL) going after him today. How to put pressure on Congress to make this a movement?
I don't really know. I think the dems believe that there's not enough time to really investigate Cheney, since he'll be stonewalling like a mofo, and they're not going to be willing to risk a potential backlash from an undertaking that's likely not to come to term.
