Just because someone sees why something is done does not mean they agree with it!

Criminals leave crime scenes all the time. That doesn’t discount that they didn’t do anything wrong, nor will it give them immunity from their actions of the past.



Oh,,,, that’s right George might give Dick a pardon for all of his acts while in and out of office? God forbid! Come to think of it, George might give the entire administration a blanket pardon for the past 8 years of their work.

I think the most important thing this administration accomplished was to divide our people(red states/blue states) They have pitted dems and republicans against one another.
We are all citizens of this country and while we disagree an a great many things, most of us do agree that this administration has gone to far. We need to unite as a people and start standing up to all of the politicians. Remember, they are supossed to be working FOR us.

Here ya go... complete article is at the bottom

Cheney Impeachment Resolution In Committee | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

BTW, The Onion is SATIRICAL and it is a joking reference to him being evil or undead!!!!!

Cheney Impeachment Resolution In Committee
A resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney was sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review. What do you think?



Myra Cummer,
Closet Organizer
"Impeaching is irresponsible and supported only by the fringe 'We don't want the Constitution violated' movement."

Tyler Coppernol,
Mattress Salesman
"I doubt it goes forward. The people on that committee all have families."

Jerry Terrell,
Menu Distributor
"This won't achieve anything. The only way to stop Cheney is to cut out his heart and burn it during a full moon."

Thanks for the reference in the Onion. Not everyone reads it, or knows it is a satirical print and apparently quite a few members took serious offense. Next time, it might help to avoid unpleasantness to include the reference and the position of a print journal.

It's okay to say that as long as it only refers to evil conservatives.

Say it about Chavez or Ahmadinejad, you better duck.

Good grief! I guess I just gave my fellow humans (even the Conservative ones) a little bit more credit for being able to discern sarcasm when they see it

And they can vote



I guess I'll just have to include an annotated bibliography (as well as a note from mother) in all of my posts from now on

I know you are being sarcastic, but you know, Evlevo, not all folks read the same thing, so yes, give a little annotated note for those unfamiliar with less known print media.

They're saying he's a semi-immortal vampire. Except I guess instead of sucking blood he sucks oil, or something.
