Ho Hoe Howe
Its a story as old as time itself.
Power -> Hubris -> Downfall
Asked in June 2004 if he'd stand by his pledge to fire anyone found to have leaked Plames cover, Bush replied yes. [Bush Press Conference: Savannah, GA, 6/10/04]
Libby testified that Cheney told him about Plame "in an off sort of, curiosity sort of, fashion," according to other information recently unsealed in federal court.
It's impeachment time, folks!
Check out this guys 3-D sidewalk drawings. Awesome!
-----> This article gives me a chuckle every time I read it. You should go read it. Like now. <-----
Archaeologists have unearthed a monumental staircase, a statue of an athlete and what appears to be a headless sphinx.
Meanwhile, another group of sweaty, competitive, chaotic-evil archaeologists have unearthed a 3,000-year-old skeleton of a man who appears to be clutching a dagger. Next to him are small metal disks covered with a charcoal residue . . . a lantern perhaps?
Oh yeah, Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin would like to remind anyone who even cares anymore, Bush has blatantly broken the law with domestic warrentless spying. “The President is not a king,” he said. “And the Congress is not a king’s court. Our job is not to stand up and cheer when the President breaks the law. Our job is to stand up and demand accountability, to stand up and check the power of an out-of-control executive branch.”
Bravo, good Sir. Bravo.
Crooks- the lot of 'em.
Let's not forget that Cheney was at Coretta Scott King's funeral giving standing ovations whenever someone said what a brave and great woman she was. But as a congressman from Wyoming in 1979 his vote against making Martin Luther King's birthday a national holiday helped block the legislation. He should have been ashamed to show his face there. The only way justice can truly be served is if Cheney and his assorted puppets and accomplices were drug naked through the streets, then doused in heavy crude and set on fire somewhere on the national mall.
Anyway, life is good here in PC. No more movie star frenzy BS. Anyone out there watch Curb Your Enthusiasim? And if so, seen the new seson? Is it good? I probably already said this but Erin and I got Netflix, which, IMHO, rocks. I'm waiting for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Rivers Edge. :P
Now I'm going to play some Urban Terror. Bye!

Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
34 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner.
He was described as in stable condition by Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi.
Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday
She said emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington until the ambulance arrived.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington and his wife at the hospital on Sunday.
The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The vice president's office did not disclose the accident until nearly 24 hours after it happened.
Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail.
Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.
Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong said.
"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."
Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950 and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He's been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.
Whittington owns property in Travis County worth at least $11 million, the Austin American-Statesman reported last year, not counting a downtown block at the center of a long-running dispute with the city over a condemnation issue.
Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Ranch where the accident occurred, said Whittington was bleeding and Cheney was very apologetic.
"It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn't get in his eyes or anything like that."
"Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came."
Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual hunting trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to hunt ducks.
Armstrong said Cheney is a longtime friend who comes to the ranch to hunt about once a year and is "a very safe sportsman." She said Whittington is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time the two men hunted together.
"This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong.
