Cheney T. Agnew

Since the Nixon-Ford retreads did not learn the appropriate lessons of history during their exile, they are doomed to repeat history.

Richard B. Cheney = Spiro T. Agnew

4. Have you contacted the major news media about your story?

You ought to do that today, if you can. It is something the American people need to hear about before election day, they shouldn't be forced into buying a lemon car.

You might contact CNN, MSNBC, or CBS. They will probably jump on this story. I can't remember, do you still have those e-mails?

9. How funny. I was inspired by an H20Man post referring to the Senate

Watergate report http://product.half.ebay.com/The-Senate-Watergate-Report_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ47527900
to start reading up on the findings and see how it related to today's misguided administration. I've only started reading it and haven't gotten past the first few statements by the committee members and I've been blown away by the similarities in what they did then and what they do now. Being that it's a lot of the same people it shouldn't really surprise me. There were also some great recommendations from that committee that we need to revisit to deal with the same problems of today.

10. good

I've maintained since the debacle of 2000 planted bush in the oval office - that the route would have to be to get rid of cheney first.

bush is just that - the top part of the plant, cheney is the root ball. cut the plant down at ground level, you still have the roots and it grows back.

13. Don't know much about Spiro

I guess your implying Cheney resigns for tax evasion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew

I wonder how much money Cheney's got stashed in his Swiss bank account?


Dave, have you considered looking at sec fillings on Halliburton insider selling in the past and in the future? You might be able to nail some on illegal insider selling.

[PerfectSage]

18. Agnewesque Violations...???

tax evasion? bribery? money laundering?

Is the Cheney noose for his direct personal actions or indirectly for kbr misdeeds?

I wonder if it's a coincidence that shredders were at Cheney's house, the Bush family is buying land in Paraguay and Bush recently mentioned 'the google'? :toast:

[CorpGovActivist]

19. Agnewesque, As in...

... the financial stuff is going to get him, just like with Agnew.

Cheney is up to his neck in this - and his personal fingerprints are all over it.

23. Warning: Shameless Self-Promotion

From my blog:



Spiro Who?

Millions of Americans (and a few RNC delegates) asked that very question when Nixon chose Spiro Theodore Agnew for his Vice President in 1968.

Agnew's goofy name and Greek parentage were no roadblocks. Before serving in World War II, young Spiro studied chemistry. After the war, he became a lawyer. After he became a lawyer, he became a Republican. After he became a Republican, he got into politics and ended up as the Governor of Maryland. Agnew was one of a handful of Republican governors elected in Maryland. He was known as a moderate.

As the chosen one, he was reconfigured into Tricky Dick's alliterating asshole of assault on hippies, commies and the press. Agnew barked on the campaign trail and anywhere dissent was in the air. It helped that his speechwriters were guys like Pat Buchanan and William Safire. Nattering nabobs of negativism - I think that's Safire's.

Spiro Agnew is the second Vice President in American history to resign the office. The first, John C. Calhoun, left to join the Senate. Agnew left because of scandal. Spiro had taken bribes while he was governor of Maryland. The news on Agnew broke out just as the Watergate special prosecutor was pressuring Nixon to release secret tape recordings, testified to by presidential assistant Alexander Butterfield. If destroying Spiro was a ploy by Nixon, it didn't work.

Ten days after Agnew resigned (October 10, 1973) Dick Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox. Richardson refused and resigned. Eventually, Robert Bork fired Cox. The Saturday Night Massacre didn't help Nixon either. Replacement prosecutor Leon Jaworski, forced Dick to release the tapes. Gerald Ford became the Vice President everybody remembers and Spiro Agnew never talked to Nixon again.

Agnew pleaded no contest to tax evasion. He was fined, put on probation and disbarred. In 1983, he paid the state of Maryland $268,482 as compensation for the bribes he stole as governor. He retired to the life of an International businessman and died in 1996 of cancer.

Agnew's Present Day Counterpart?

29. possible news dump today???

I am curious about your interview from yesterday.

[IdesOfOctober]

30. I have my Sunday morning papers...

... picked out already, and my Monday morning TiVo lineup.

Ides

[DemReadingDU]

31. Would any articles be posted early?

so we can read them on the Internets prior to running out and buying Sunday papers at the local Barnes & Noble bookstore?

[IdesOfOctober]

32. My guess is...

... Sunday papers (final editions) and talk shows lay some important groundwork.

Then, on Monday, I'd expect all hell breaks loose.

I could turn out to be completely off the mark, one way or the other. Also, to the extent that prosecutions may be concerned, last-minute deal-cutting may be involved.

But there are alternative outlets available, too.
