Cheney Faces Criminal Indictments; Other Illegal Actions Raise Warning Flags at White House

Vice President Dick Cheney faces criminal indictments for illegal activities while CEO of energy giant Halliburton and also illegally intervened to secure a $7 billion no-bid contract for his former employer after his election to office, an analysis by the White House counsel’s office concludes.

The Vice President is currently under investigation by French authorities for bribery, money laundering and misuse of corporate assets while at Halliburton and also faces a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission probe of a $180 million "slush fund" that may have been used to pay bribes.

Although the White House Counsel analysis is not available to the public because of the secrecy of “attorney-client privilege,” it has generated speculation among senior White House aides who suggest the Vice President should step down as President George W. Bush’s running mate for the November Presidential elections. Such talk has increased in GOP circles lately with former New York Senator Alfonse D'Amato Wednesday calling on Bush to dump Cheney.

4. But who'd want to have him?
Even if I was gay, he is clearly not my type.

8. Ha Ha Ha
Prison rape sure is funny. And what does prison rape have to do with whether you're gay? Do you think prison rape is part of the gay lifestyle?

10. I don't know...
...people seem to joke about it all the time. Besides, it's just the harmless pranks of a few bad apples anyway.

11. No, I think it's a very real manifestation of what happens when men
are removed from the presence of women for long periods of time. If anyone deserves to pay that price, it's Mr Cheney. Sorry

2. Didn't they
get rid of attorney-client privilege with provisions in the Patriot Act?

Of course, that's not going to apply to the VpR.
