I keep hearing about the Dems winning because Americans were tired of the Republican corruption. What about the Harry Reid scandal that was barely reported? For every Mark Foley, there are 10 just like him in the Dem party who are doing far worse than sending emails.
Cheney?
The Vice President is ELECTED.
The President has no power to remove the Vice President even if he WANTS to.
Now, Cheney might be a good sport and go, if asked, but he has the same constitutional right to his office as Bush has to his.
The Cabinet serves at the pleasure of the President.
The Vice President is elected by the people and does not serve at the pleasure of the President. If the Veep and the Prez hate each other, the Veep and openly undermine the Prez, and the best the Prez can do is exclude him.
To put it another way, all of the Veep's power is derived from the President, but the Vice President is NOT the President's subordinate, and the President CANNOT order the Vice President to do anything, because because the Vice President cannot be removed from office other than by Congressional impeachment.
We should get that fact straight.
If Cheney decides Cheney wants to day, he stays. The only people who can make him go is a majority of the House and 2/3rds of the Senate.
I thought lying to the enemy was considered normal in a time of war? Why would be want our enemies to know what we are doing? Sorry Susan, but you are on the wrong side of the war for us to be truthful with you. Your party didn't show us that courtesy when it governed in the 90's so take your mock outrage and put some ice on it.
Don't forget, this is the same drunkard that was on with Brit and panel election night 2004 LYING her drunk, ugly a$$ off that she had inside information that ketch-up boy had indeed won the Presidency!

Aside from all the liberal barf in this article and the liberal corruption that it doesn't mention - I am still angry about the way Rumsfeld was treated and the fact that Bush assured us before the election that Rumsfeld was staying, even though he was planning to let Rumsfeld go. It reminds me of H.W. Bush's "read my lips" pledge not to raise taxes.
"Since when is it OK for a president to lie to reporters?"
He didn't lie, he said the decision wasn't 100% assured but when is it OK for reporters to lie about anyone? They lied about Rove getting indicted and even had Democrats cheering, they lied about the age of Foley's "victim's". They lie all the time about the war.
Hey Susan, you socialist b!tch--What about your hero klintoon?? Didn't he ever mislead anyone, huh?????
Utter rubbish. Rumsfeld is the sacrificial lamb for political reasons.
Clinton set the precedent Susan. It depends what the meaning of "were staying" meant.
I thought these a$$holes were going to take a couple of days off from their bullsh*t. I see I was wrong.
The letter I sent to her.
Dear Susan Estrich,
"Since when is it OK for a president to lie to reporters?" Because Donald Rumsfeld resigned means the President lied? How did you come to this conclusion? Did it ever occur to you that he gave the President no option but to except his resignation? In my opinion unlike yours, is that he probably resigned as to deflect the lefts hatred of himself from effecting the Office of the President. The Democrats may have one both Houses but I see it as the Military, Afghani's and Iraqi's are the who will lose in the long run. PS. don't be such a hater.

She needs to read her history books. FDR lied to the American people in November 1940 to win his 3rd term of office. I just sent her an e-mail reminding of this fact.
