GOP hypocritet of the week!
Dick Cheney!

Remember when Republicans were so hot to trot on "law and order"? When they would parrot slogans such as "commit the crime, then do the time."

That's no doubt why President George W. Bush appointed "law and order" Judge Reggie Walton to the federal bench in 2001. Walton believes that if you break the law, you deserve the punishment.

Yes, as it reads on the official bio page for Judge Walton, "Judge Reggie B. Walton assumed his position as a United States District Judge for the District of Columbia on October 29, 2001, after being nominated to the position by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the United States Senate."

(snip)

So it does appear a bit hypocritical that Dick Cheney is now proclaiming that Scooter Libby should walk away free from his criminal verdict. (So does the man who acts on "Law and Order," Fred Thompson. Well the man can act, but his respect for law and order apparently stops when the script is finished.)
