Anyone look at the Washington post today? |
|
There is a nice big story about Oily Dick cheney's ties to Halliburton and a the Congressional investigation which called it a major conflict of interest.
Expect Cheney to resign, with an excuse of heart trouble. He is going to be sacrifical lamb. the Bush Admin can not handle scandles this big right now, with their poll numbers plummeting.

He'll have to slither back to his multimillion dollar estate in Jackson Hole Wyoming and count his millions.

4. A nice big story is one thing ... |
|
taking action about it is quite another. Let's hope this gets some REAL airplay.

"In the past, White House officials have considered him a reassuring figure for viewers and voters."

is the sound of the media cowering timidly behind a public opinion it created. Heard the NPR spin during another lopsided Conservative debate where the troll hid behind the people not caring about Cheney and none of this has disturbed their trust in him. That all of this was know before and this won't change anything.
Translation: So he committed treason, whaddya goin' to do about it? Nuffin.

12. You mean the war really was about oil? |

First, I don't know if they'll get rid of Cheney or not, or, if they do, with whom they'll replace him. Because . . . I'm not sure in the end exactly who and what is behind the curtain of this Regime. IS he expendable? In whose interest? The top doesn't get sacrificed.
Second, fuck Cheney. I want that smirking chimp out. . . and his entire greedy insane cohort.

60 Minutes discovered Cheney's links to Halliburton over the weekend. Nice going, idiots. I used to love that show.

16. The story was about a Congressional Investigation |
|
Everyone knew about the Halliburton ties--but a Congressional Investigation determined his ties constitute a gross conflict of interest.

No shit. They just noticed? Repukes don't even know what the concept means. They build a "Chinese wall" in their heads.
