Just a side note to my post #290 - re Cheney & "retribution" sucker-punch question

As a retired investigative reporter - I always investigated BOTH sides of an issue/story before going to print,

I still try to use that rule of thumb here - which is why I researched to see in what context Cheney's remark was made

[neutrality]

I don't think that's appropriate," he said. "I may disagree with decisions made by judges in any one particular case. But I don't think there would be much support for the proposition that because a judge hands down a decision we don't like, that somehow we ought to go out -- there's a reason why judges get lifetime appointments - Vice President Cheney

out of context or not, doesn't sound like he supports DeLay in this case
