Lynne probably told him it was time to air out the cave. Nice to see him out and about.

Definitely great minds, freema!

Just to be sure, I hope the VP gives Fort Marcy Park a wide berth for the foreseeable future, LOL. And make sure he doesn't take any uncontrolled plane rides.

I don't get what you mean about the 2 days. Of course a trip like that takes more than 2 days planning time, and during that time Hillary's spies got word back to her so she then had time to suggest the trip before Cheney actually took the trip. She's trying to make it look like Cheney took the trip on her suggestion.

The poster was concerned lest anyone fall for the notion that Cheney actually went to Iraq only because and AFTER Hillary told him to. So, the poster noted that only two days elapsed between when Hillary spoke and his trip...therefore, his trip had to have been in the works way before. It is obvious you did not fall for the "Hillary caused it" nonsense, so maybe that is why you are puzzled by the poster's comments??

I think we agree on this. My point is exactly yours, that she is somehow trying to take credit for "forcing" Cheney to go to Iraq by making the suggestion only 2 days before he went. Clearly the planning on a trip such as this require a far longer lead time to insure security and set up the logistics.

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't even recognize Ted Stevens.

Why they ever let Matlin near the WH is beyond me. She talks a good talk when she has to but the situation has moved way beyond trusting someone in her personal position. How could we trust anyone who marries and breeds with the snake?

OMG! I didn't realize the Secretary of Treasury is in line ahead of Secretary of Defense. That's goofy in my book considering the circumstances that this would happen under.

Just proves that she is willing to put people at risk to promote her personal agenda and probably the dangerous women in Washington.

Putting people at risk is small potatoes after she's put people to death to promote her agenda.

Mary Matlin hasn't been Cheney's aid for some time now. So, she wouldn't have rec'd knowledge of the Iraq visit.

Wow! Yeah I know how exciting it is to see a person you know/family member on tv with a national figure, or a big occasion! I remember when Pres. Kennedy's funeral services were on tv years ago. My Dad was one of the U.S. Marines in the cathedral acting as ushers. Mom said we could watch, and see if we could see him! I can't remember if we did at that time.

However years later, during a memorial on tv in Nov. (you know those they have every once in awhile); she swore up and down that she saw him then! My Grandma(his mom)was still alive then, and Mom called and told her what she saw, and where. Well Grandma watched it, and she saw the scene Mom saw. They were both all excited! An usher who looked an awfully lot like Dad was guiding a foreign guest to his seat. So, I can surely see what you mean! :)
