I just got a call from a friend in Dayton who told me
that Cheney had been named as a 'client' by the DC madam? Any truth to this? I kind of doubt it as I have not been able to find anything here on DU or on the other blogs I visit? She claimed it was front page news?

Anyone?

1. Cheney
There were rumors, but let's face it: condemning Cheney for paying for sex would be like arresting Jack the Ripper for jaywalking.

2. Well I agree, can you imagine waking up to Lynn
with no makeup on? Arrggghhhhh...boggles the mind. Course the same could be said for him. Oh well, thanks for the response, I kind of figured that when I didn't see anything in our truthful media it was probably a lie planted by some librul no good democrat related to Bill Clinton.

4. Hey, wasn't Al Capone finally nabbed on tax evasion?
Mind you, Capone was an amateur next to this guy. Anything that can be made to stick is a great victory.

6. You're right
Just as Nixon was nabbed for the seemingly petty Watergate burglaries, rather than his unauthorized, unfunded and forbidden carpet bombing of Laos and Cambodia.

3. Cheney, thankfully, is supposedly not in her phone records...
which is a good thing because anyone picturing that liaison would endure unimaginable mental anguish, and have to replace the carpets after vomiting.

5. It's a rumor.. Here's a snippet.....
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/DC_madam_lawyer_Cheney_isnt_not_0523.html
A few weeks ago, DC gossip blog Wonkette gave "hanks to the 700 people who sent in the latest 'anything’s possible' rumor from angry local blogger Wayne Madsen."

"ABC News all but dropped the story when Cheney threatened to jam that prop phone three feet up the ass of Brian Ross," Wonkette mocked. "That’s why the formerly explosive scandal story instead got seven minutes at the end of whatever ABC News show Friday night."

According to Roll Call, "Palfrey and Sibley expressed disappointment, too, over the shortage of boldfaced names in ABC’s reporting on the phone records."

At his website, Madsen mentioned that CBS late night host David Letterman referred to the Cheney rumour.

"Here's a story we're working on now," Letterman said, according to Madsen's account. "Apparently, there are rumors coming out of Washington that Vice President Dick Cheney, when he was the CEO of Halliburton, used to go visit prostitutes. This could explain why one girl was paid two billion dollars. I mean, I was thinking about this and Cheney ... I mean, going to a prostitute, that's ... I mean, I can't believe a good-looking guy like that would ever have to pay for sex, you know what I'm saying?"

Wonkette explained why its staffers were "underwhelmed by this rumor."

"Because even if it’s a fact, which it probably is, there’s no way it would have any impact on Cheney’s 'career,'" Wonkette continued. "This is a draft-dodging half-human war criminal with a pregnant lesbian daughter who tells senators to fuck themselves and shoots his own friends in the face. Ordering an outcall hooker is positively innocent compared to the well-known things Cheney does every day."

8. Would you screw Lynn Cheney?
Of course there is that girl friend he was on the trip with when he shotgunned his friend, but I would have to believe that Dick has a lot of trouble getting women or any other humans to like him.
