- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+77PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE.
If it is true, I'll give up drinking.
I mean come on!!! The guy shoots lawyers, ***** prostitutes, starts wars, and profits from dying soldiers!!!
Over-achiever! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -18/+72IMPEACH!!!
Sexual affairs with the opposite sex?!
IMPEACH!!!!! - UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -9/+57Is it really impeachable if he wasn't in office at the time? And has the statute of limitations passed on it anyway?
- bufmike, on 10/12/2007, -10/+56chimplanet??? how lame is that for a source????
- Tsen, on 10/12/2007, -27/+72You mean *another* impeachable offense, right?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -33/+66finally, we discovered an impeachable offense
- crestfall, on 10/12/2007, -8/+40How many Dugg this without seeing the source site? The headline is ***** great... The source sucks ass.
- weneedsound, on 10/12/2007, -9/+41I feel bad for her as well. He probably shot her in the face.
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32Skip the blogspam:

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+35from the sounds of it, it is a george w. bush fan club
- wreckingcru, on 10/12/2007, -9/+31Err, is this source reliable?
If you scroll down and read their report on Neocon: engineering math and fixing elections, it sounds more like a tin-foil gang. - whiledo, on 03/25/2009, -1/+22@ugm2099, @roosterjm2k2, @ugm2099 et al.
Yes, you can most definitely impeach (and convict) a president for crimes they committed before coming into office. When do you think Whitewater happened? It was in the 70s-80s. People are pulling this "it doesn't count if you weren't in office at the time" stuff. Thin air, mostly. Use your brain for a minute. This isn't even a regular court, it's a POLITICAL process (rather than a judicial one). There is zero judicial oversight for impeachment and conviction of the president (Nixon v. United States). They could remove a president for his brother's unpaid parking tickets from twenty years ago if they could get the majority to go along with it.
As then-Representative Gerald Ford said: "An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history." (I love Wikipedia.)
Now, as far as this article goes, I'm definitely going to take it with a giant grain of salt. True, Drudge did break the Lewinsky thing before pretty much anyone else. But this site seems even sub-Drudge. - wild, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26Its SPAM because you linked to a blog that just links to a source. Resubmit the real link:
http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/ - DiggCens0rs, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21This is a joke, I can't believe a website with a Bush countdown timer and images of bush in gitmo prison ***** made it to the front page as "breaking news". Christ maybe you guys really are foaming at the mouth.
- crestfall, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Buried because the site refers to itself as WMR, in a way that makes it sound like a real news organization, staffed by journalists, rather than a single dude running a website from his *****, studio apartment. That, my friends, is lame - grounds for burial. Besides that, he's playing with my emotions.
- jsdratm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Yeah, this looks like the most biased new source I have ever seen...
- Darksaber11, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20STOP LINKING TO ***** BLOGS!
- crestfall, on 10/12/2007, -11/+24Insert joke about skeet shooting, and a blast to the face
/shameless comment abuse (on my part) - roosterjm2k2, on 10/12/2007, -30/+41Wow, you can impeach someone for something they did -before- they were in office? Nice...
Give me a site with news other than anti-bush stories and I might half believe it. - antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I'll believe it when I hear it from an actual news source, not some tinhat wearing loons.
- meistaiwan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17Umm.....I'm not going to say this single source isn't reputable, no wait, yes, yes I am. The Wayne Madsen Report has learned ... ??
Absolutely no sources were indicated, and no other sources are independently reporting this. Lame 'journalism' (read: making stuff up) - cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17Well, SOMEBODY big was on the list for the whole story to just get covered up like it did.
- bsmang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Don't get me wrong, there are ample and pressing reasons to impeach the fools.
But as far as this particular issue goes...
1. The source is suspicious.
2. The time frame is wrong.
3. Trying to nail him on that would be far too much of a neo-con republican thing to do, even with a republican in the spotlight. - RollFizzlebeef, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13As much as I wish this were true, that is a highly dubious source.
- an0nymous, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13It's not, though.
- an0nymous, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I want to believe, but "chimplanet"? looking for confirmation,..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This kind of stupidity has to stop.
One person who claimed to have been on the "list" was a dead prosecutor. The list said that his last appointment was in 2002, he died in 2000.
Also, no names have been released aside from this guys. I sincerely doubt this is true - but as usual, Diggsters will believe what they want without any real accountability behind it. - hattriq27, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6from the WMR article: "WMR has confirmed with extremely knowledgeable CIA and Pentagon sources that the former CEO who is on Deborah Jeane Palfrey's list is Vice President Dick Cheney."
o.O
CIA?
O.o
Pentagon?
BWAHAHAHA what do either have to do with a local prostitution ring?
While it would be a great story and provide endless fodder for Leno and Letterman, this kind of "internet" journalism is laughable. Looks like I need to buy up more shares of Reynolds Wrap - look4alec, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@ AlwaysDuggDown
Your namesake fits. Read the comments. Just as many people are critical of the source and don't believe it as do. Some don't even reference the article, just make a dumb joke about shooting people in the face. I'm not saying we're not biased but at least direct your comment at someone. Maybe the reason you're "AlwaysDuggDown" is because you make sweeping generalizations about the users of digg. - MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12woudln't be an issue if prostitution was legal.
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Sorry to burst your bubble, guys, but "anonymous sources" does not count as confirmation, especially on these rabid, left-wing wacko conspiracy-theory sites.
From the original article:
"The White House saw to it that ABC/Disney killed the DC Madam's story before yet another scandal swamped the Bush administration."
WTF?
Since when does the White House have the power to kill stories in the MSM?
Story buried as LAME. - anonym41414, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9What's new about that? EVERYBODY is trying to game digg. The LGF kids are trying to game digg, the Malkin kids are trying to game digg, the Townhall kids (by faaaar the worst of the bunch) are trying to game digg. Is it in any way surprising that the lefties and righties are doing the same thing? Disgusting and depressing, yes, but surprising? Hardly.
What's truly pathetic is that these people think digg matters. I mean, I like the site as much as anybody, but it's hardly gonna change the world, you know? Faking up grassroots support isn't going to get anybody to change to your way of thinking, whatever that way happens to be. - swingman6, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9I heard the reason the list went underground was there are a lot a Media People at the Major Networks on it.
- trilioth, on 10/12/2007, -8/+13It should not be an impeachable offense. I want him out of office, but not like this. If he's going to be impeached get him for a real crime.
On another note. Grow up guys. I woman should have the right to sell her services if she wants. - giantrobot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dude. As a liberal, I have to say that this makes liberals look bad. Wait until it gets somewhere more credible than a blogspam link to a bogus site.
Just another drawback to the digg system -- an awesome headline can be dug up like crazy. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Pro-tip: do not use the word Irony if you do not know what it means.
I really wish that word would be banned since it's misused 90% of the time. - lewscroo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Won't everyone just back off a bit. Cheney had to do something to get his mind off his lesbian daughter.
- laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11Like Fox?
I'll listen to the potentially paranoid before the confirmed corrupt. You might consider it. - neozeed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Isn't it ironic?
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7No, you're mistaking an Atheist with a Baptist.... :)
What's the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? The Methodist will speak to you in the liquor store.... - thatsmith, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Buried as inaccurate. Dick Cheney is Methodist. Everyone knows only Atheists associate with prostitutes.
- endustry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Now we can link him to using Viagra without a prescription as well.
- wiirdo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5So he had an extramarital fling AND shot someone. He's just 'upped' Clinton big time. Cheney...U DA MAN!!!
- yunus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3When the story breaks on a website that doesnt have a "Days left in office" countdown I might believe it.
- Sultana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That was a good read. I do hope it's true...but until a more reliable source comes out and states this, I'm doubtful.
But, man. If it's true? BWAHAHAHH!!!! it'd make my year :) - JimmyTheClam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"I really wish that word would be banned since it's misused 90% of the time."
That would be ironic.
In a Socratic sort of way.
Oh yeah, before I forget... Story buried! - ATHEISTinHELL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3prostitution is ok in my book. but this is a man who wanted a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. so to him gay marriage immoral cheating on your wife ok.
- DyDx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@rooster: So since it purportedly took place awhile ago, it must not be true? How do we know he stopped going when he became VP?
No matter what, it's extremely offensive to most of the people who voted them into power and will be a huge scandal if the media covers it like it should. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8"finally, we discovered an impeachable offense "
Sadly, some of you actually think that's what Clinton was impeached for. -
