- bagold51, on 10/11/2007, -3/+74IMPEACH CHENEY and watch the administration fall flat on it's face!
- Bisquick, on 10/11/2007, -1/+56Thank God they've brought it to the attention of Alberto Gonzales. Our country is safe.
/sarcasm - wendelgee2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+41Two things:
1. The kicker in this article is at the very end:
"However, the NBC story did not make any mention of Cheney's having justified his refusal on the novel grounds that he is not a part of the executive branch."
Do they think we're stupid and wouldn't be interested in this "detail"? Without thorough and accurate coverage of the issues, how are we as a country ever going to find our intellectual bootstraps?
2. Notice the desperate rejoicing when the msm shows even a shadow of its former self. Edward Murrow is still dead...but we need him now more than ever. - anteyekon4myst, on 10/11/2007, -0/+33Too bad the country is full of pussies who dont want to do anything about it.
- SilentJay74, on 10/11/2007, -0/+30I do not see why the hell we put up with this administration. In the words of Bill Mahr " I'm just pissed off that not enough people are pissed off!"
- Jook, on 10/11/2007, -13/+40Dude, if your can't comment on TFA STFU.
- youngandwise, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23Man.. Every time i see a picture of that ugly, fat ass twinky slamming criminal bastard - i want to start cursing and throw my monitor through the window... I hope he drowns in water with fire on the surface, so if he comes up he burns to death..
/end of rage - spindrift, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Rarely is the question asked: Are our administration learning?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20I am afraid for you Americans...
- singlegirlgeek, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18If we are going to have a country left we need to impeach cheney now.
- Jerim, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Not to take Bush's side, but I think at the end of the day, the historians are going to have a fascinating time reconstructing exactly who was in charge of this administration.
- kingcam, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15I believe the answer to that question is Yes.
Yes for the vice president
Yes for the president
Yes for the attorney general.
Yes for the lobbyists on capital hill and the congressmen and senators who enable them. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15Is this a rhetorical question?
- Jook, on 10/11/2007, -9/+22My little protest against the new CRAP system, so you STFU.
- jarjarjanks, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Great reporting by NBC, seeing as how they failed to mention Cheney's actual reason for refusing the oversight - effectively gutting from the segment the utter ridiculousness of this entire administration. The media is worthless.
- WakeUpToFreedom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13I think most people realized this years ago...
- SuckMyDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11You're goddamn right he has
- Dolomite, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Regime change anyone????
- Suzilla, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8YES!
- johnnyrocket, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Cheney's an evil criminal, causing all sorts of havoc since taking over power. He appointed himself, has appointed lackeys in Justice to prevent his prosecution.
Cheney is like the two-bit tyrant Mugabe, it's a god dammed 3rd world dictatorship in the USA these days, atrocious. - swrostmore, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7[In 2004]Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad never received their ballots after the Pentagon shut down the Web site used to file overseas registrations. A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates, which was hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters in six battleground states, was discovered shredding Democratic registrations.In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes, malfunctioning machines failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots. Nationwide, according to the federal commission charged with implementing election reforms, as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment -- roughly one for every 100 cast.
- thedarkrabbit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7The short answer is: Yes, he has.
- SuckMyDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Lots of people are pissed off. The mass media are the ones who won't pick that up and run with it.
- Hambone72, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8The funny thing is... that is 100% true.
The MEDIA is constantly used as a tool to distract the sheeple.
Paris...Lewinski...I forget.
Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. - rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I emailed the Speaker of the House, calling for Cheney's impeachment. Before you whine, make sure you have done at least that much.
- SuckMyDigg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I'm afraid for the rest of the world as well. If America makes a large sudden change, the whole world will feel the effects.
- Run4ny, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Question we all should ask and really consider: Is this man human?
Besides the fact that he eats souls for breakfast and then stores the bodies in his office "man size vaults", I can't help but wonder how this man is STILL alive after all those heart attacks and an assassination attempt. - shinelikeitdoes, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6somebody said something about impeaching him and watching the administration fall on its face...as if it could get worse?
- drewpost, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Fall MORE on it's face you mean?
- bdurkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I hope so...he should be lined up in front of a firing range along with his puppet.
- wendelgee2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Because they have a liberal bias......wait.
- Pfhreak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Explaination: "It's a pretty big violation of the spirit of keeping the three branches separate, and is based on a really weak interpretation of the letter of the Constitution."
The entire checks and balances system built into the Constitution is there to maintain three, separate, and roughly equal branches of government. Letting anybody be a simultaneous member of two of those branches defeats separation of powers, which is a central design element of the US government.
Again, it's also a weak argument to say "because I break ties in the Senate, that makes me a member of the Legislative Branch, too." That's the only thing he does in regards to the Senate, and the only time he votes. If his regular duties included presiding over the Senate, or if he voted regularly, I could see the point, but he does neither. He only presides over a handful of ceremonial functions, like swearing in new senators, or to break a tie. Day to day oversight is provided by the President pro tempore (currently Robert Byrd), and even he serves a mostly ceremonial function, with junior senators generally rotating through the de facto position of presiding. The ONLY time the VP votes is to break a tie.
The only time he's mentioned in Article I is: "The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided." He's not mentioned in Section 3, Clause 1, where the composition of the Senate is established, but he is mentioned in Article II, Section 1: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice-President chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:" so he's explicitily a part of the Executive, and both the separation of powers and that he's only mentioned in Article II as a tie-breaker makes him a member of the Executive, not the Legislative. - ryodoan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6where did the block button go?
/I want to block CBBrooklyn - LenBaird, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@gabriel5
He receives executive branch funding for his office - tHePeOPle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I heard that they asked him about it, but, uh... I don't recall what his answer was.
/sarcasm - nickerbocker, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Or digg them down first.
- Qyasogk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4IMPEACH!
- jklyon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4 'Has the vice president gone too far?'
YES. TOO FAR. - totorototoro, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Oh, so only NOW is NBC wondering? You'd think shooting an old dude in the face with a shotgun would have tipped them off. :P
- ErHoff, on 10/11/2007, -0/+31) End the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; bring all the troops home now.
2) Impeach Cheney
3) Impeach Bush
4) Bring to trial remaining members of the Cheney Bush Crime Syndicate for High Treason. (War Crimes Trials with Iraqi Judges would be a nice touch.)
5) Convict the Cheney Bush Crime Syndicate for High Treason against the United States.
6) Saddamize the guilty parties at the end of rope.
7) Get it done before the Calendar strikes New Years 2008! - cyberstall, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You mean his handlers.
- WaterDragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2there's a great quote, similar to that, from the movie "Network"...actually quite a few lines from it...near the end of the new, and most awesome movie about truth, 'Zeitgeist'. Everyone should see it.
My Digg submission about it is just a link to the torrent, but it eally could use some help with your diggs....although I didn't write a decent description of it.
I'm sure that any and all of my 110 digg friends would really love this movie!

Does anyone else notice this, or is it just me. I swear, some type of cold blooded reptile he is. - WhiteTeeRash, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Does a bear crap in the woods?
- boobees, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2by most do you mean surprisingly few?
- killj0y, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Cheney will abuse the law as far and as long as we let him. Since no one has done anything to stop him, the answer is, sadly, NO he has not gone too far.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Whats is wrong with ignoring the American Laws of Government?
- ryodoan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2oh god, where the hell is the new block button!!!
- boobees, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2yeahhhh sorry bout all this guys
