Scalia-Cheney Trip Raises Eyebrows

(CBS) Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of last week duck hunting together at a private camp in southern Louisiana, just three weeks after the court agreed to take up the vice president's appeal in lawsuits over his handling of the administration's energy task force, the Los Angeles Times says in its Saturday editions.

2. Please tell me there is audio of the impartiality statement.
I'd like to play it over and over and over and over and over during the deliberations.

Or so his defense will be at the inquisition.

5. Hey it's just a friendly outing...you people find conspiracies
everywhere. And besides, BILL CLINTON was the one who introduced the two. It's Bill Clinton's fault they were together!

:silly:

10. It is a little known fact that some duck hunters are gay
And that Southern Louisianna is a hotpsot for them.

I just didn't know that Scalia was gay! Cheney; well half his progeny is gay, so that puts him right out there, now don't it?

6. Is Dick Cheney not the most transparently corrupt man in modern
American politics?

It's like- no one says anything when crap like this comes out, because he's so obviously corrupt that we almost expect it.

It's reminiscent of the way that Bush gets high marks for doing what any functional adult could be expected to do. They both benefit from low expectations.
