"If it turns out that what Scooter Libby testified . . . to the grand jury, that his superior ordered him, or suggested that he leak the information to the press in order to discredit one of their political opponents - if that happened in a time of war - then the vice president cannot sit in the office he now occupies."

Asked if he would favor an "impeachment proceeding" for Cheney, Dean said: "That's getting a little far down the road. First we have to find out of it's true."

Is this a first for Howard Dean? That is, the first time he ever expressed concern about whether his accusations were true?

If Cheney steps down, John Bolton would be a good replacement.

Cheney cannot order a subordinate to commit a felony. Libby is a lawyer and knows this. If there is no violation of law because Plame was not covered by the covert clause, then Libby was exercising his first amendment rights and playing hardball. Tough shit for the democrats if they don't like it.

Everyone needs to keep remembering that Dr. Dean accomplished exactly what he set out to accomplish - get the word IMPEACHMENT into the MSM vernacular. The RATs want all of America to get used to the "I" word and to start writing and calling their congresscriters so that when the RATS take the house in Jan 07 (ha ha) they are all ready to pull the plug. This is part of the RAT agenda and they repeat it over and over on all the Err Amerika talk shows 24/7. They are deadly serious about this and in fact they are launching a campaign (or trying to) that says "Hey we will support your election, or re-election, in Nov '06 if you pledgge to bring forth articles of impeachment." They cannot stand the thought of another 3 years of GWB and Cheney. Impeach them both and we will have Nancy "The Brain" Pelosi in the WH as President (House speaker next in succession). Think about that and fear it like you have never feared anything in your life. The GOP must maintain the house in '06 above all else.
