Costello pushes hearings on Cheney
BY BETH HUNDSDORFER

U.S. Rep Jerry Costello has called for impeachment hearings
against U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney during Congress' session
that begins today.

Costello called for hearings Saturday while on the Iowa caucus
campaign trail with fellow U.S. House of Representatives member
and presidential candidate Dick Gephardt, according to the Drudge
Report.

Costello questioned the award of billions of dollars of contracts to
Cheney's former corporation Haliburton to extinguish fires and
rebuild Iraq's oil infrastructure after the war.

"Can you imagine what the Republicans would be doing to a
Democratic president who was a CEO of a company that now has
gotten billions of dollars worth of contracts -- no-bid contracts --
without competition?" Costello, D-Belleville, was quoted as saying.

Scalia and Cheney, longtime friends, had dinner at a restaurant on Maryland's Eastern Shore in November, two months after the Bush administration asked the justices to overrule a lower court's decision requiring White House to identify task force members

MOVE ON! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!

5. You beat me to it.

The Bush administration is rife with nepotism. That the media isn't covering this obvious fact shows how closely our media is aligned with a Pravda-style press.

Given than, is democracy a failure or simply the "best" we can do until some other form of government gets invented?

Will Whore Media cover this??

If this impeachment fails or succeeds, will the next step be 911LIHOP impeachment / treason hearings ??

6. Amazing, a Democrat that actually does something

for his constituency.

I am so tired of hearing candidates talk about how they are fighters, and will kick special interests out of Washington, blah, blah, blah,
and then do nothing but campaign.

Thank you Representative Costello. I wish any of the candidates that are running now had your courage and determination to do something. Promises are cheap, your action is priceless.

10. Why not the Chimpster too? He is fully aware of and participating

in the rampant corruption of the misadministration.

11. Martha takes the hit for all crooks

I am not sure she is innocent, but she is the poster child for their Justice Department. If they jail her, it will be so that every successful and/or domesticated women remembers their place taught by Christian Right. Puppets succeed... never powerful women.
