Cheney Faces Criminal Indictments;
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.

Cheney, however, is standing firm and recently told Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont to “fuck off” when the Senator questioned him on the Halliburton matters.

According to White House sources, President George W. Bush laughed the matter off at a recent cabinet meeting.

“Fuck ‘em all,” Bush said.

The President’s bravado, however, is not shared by worried White House aides. Some point to the last vice president to step down because of fraud and corruption – Spiro T. Agnew, who served under President Richard M. Nixon, another Republican forced to leave office because of scandal.

2. The arrogant attitude
and foul language is turning off voters in Arkansas. I think Edward's message of Two Americas will be well received here because the actions of Bush/Cheney reinforce Edwards' message!

3. I hope you're right ayeshahaqqiqa...
I too live in Arkansas, around Hope. There are some real die-hard repubs here, but we've got a lot of dems too. I have noticed that the editorial page in the Hope Star has really begun to move from a pro- to an anti-Bush stance. I have seen this happen over the last couple of months. It is encouraging.

By the way, I follow your posts and appreciate them... especially enjoyed the "redneck encounter" your husband had. You really had me going on that one. :) :hi:

7. More good news
The 20 something fellow that just started working for us looked at my MoveOn stickers today and said he agreed with them! He's going to register to vote, because he knows it's important(and I'm getting him the registration form tomorrow!). He said what he liked about Kerry and especially Edwards were that they reminded him of Bill Clinton!
