And Since NOBODY is above the law.

In fact you'd think they would want to be one of the first to step up and prove they aren't above the law and that they are as clean as wind driven snow. You know... sort of lead by example or set the standard.... but no the standard we hear is: "over my dead body"

[Amelia]

as she has a tendency to overreact.

I see we're back in the kitchen with the pots & kettles.....

[deport]

You heard anything about any major lawsuits being filed today? Just curious

[Deb]

You're the BEST!!! (ooops, just fell down with excitement-wig fell off)

[Amelia]

I thought the plate was already full?

Not that that has ever stopped Larry for going back for seconds & thirds & dessert &....

[deport]

I thought the plate was already full?

Well I agree but then he doesn't mind missing a few deadlines or so it seems....... Rumor had been that something major would be forthcoming today.... but don't see anything yet.

Because no one is above the law.....
Even the 'eww'.... thus let the IRS audits begin.....

[Clara Lou]

You heard anything about any major lawsuits being filed today?
I've come to depend on Larry's press releases for entertainment. It's been very rainy here, you know, and I'm stuck indoors. Too soon for a new one?

[deport]

Not sure it's the 'eww' that's doing the filing..... just a rumor I've been hearing without any documentation as of yet.......

You can add me to that esteemed list.

[terilyn]

I think you are very astute, and absolutely correct!

In August of 2000, Common Cause called on Cheney to divest himself of Halliburton stock, and/or options, to avoid any perceived or real conflict of interest, should he become VP.

http://www.commoncause.org/publications/aug00/083100l.htm

In August of 2000 Cheney sold 660,000 shares of Halliburton, as advised, to avoid any perceived or real conflict of interest should he become VP.

In September of 2000 Cheney prepared to forfeit any stock options that would not vest prior to him being elected VP to avoid any perceived or real conflict of interest.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/Cheney_halliburton000901.html

The sources for these articles are Common Cause, CNN, and ABC. Hardly what one could call conservative news outlets that might report a story to shed any positive light on Cheney.

In addition, the quantity of options that could not be exercised was 233,333:

"Cheney said on Sept. 1 that, if elected, he would forfeit 233,333 options that could not be sold until 2001 or later to avoid a conflict of interest."

Most of you probably know all of this, for those that don't, or wish to ignore it to help Larry raise more money, er...expose government corruption, there are some actual facts here.

Not that we would want any facts cluttering up this thread...

[Clara Lou]

Thanks. I think it's Cheney who's astute.

[terilyn]

That too, of course ;)

Nice to be in such good company isn't it?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

DOnt know where to look or what the date was, but there should be a transcript of Tim Russert's Sunday show where he drilled Dick with some lame questions.

[habs4ever]

It is repulsive that the Dems demanded Cheney forfeit monies accrued to him as CEO of HAL just so they can bleat on endlessly about "appearances", all the while Daschle, Bingaman and their wives lobby before Congress.Did Terry M give back his money from GLBX, or Slick ever pay a price for pardoning Marc Rich? Or Robert Rubin lobbying the Treasury Dept on behalf of Citigroup over Enron?

The Dems love wealth and the stock market when they can benefit from it, provided no one else does.I will never forget that odious bastard Carville's announcement back in 1992 that he'd love nothing better than to see the market lose 25%.Then the puke crowed the next year about being able to afford $70 bottles of Cote Rotie because biz was so good.

Bottom line, the Dems are always in it for the dough...

[terilyn]

I found Meet the Press transcripts. Do you know approximately when it was? The most recent is May 19. That one seems to talk mostly of new terror attacks being likely.

Thanks a lot, by the way. Every time you go to MSNBC's website now you get a smirking Phil Donahue right in the eyeballs.

Yuck!

[Deb]

Admirable.

Don't you get the feeling that nothing we can say or do will convince people who think GW and Cheney are crooks/RINOS/socialists/one worlders/whatever otherwise? No amount of info or facts to the contrary will change the minds of Rebeckie or the "principled" conservatives because they choose to believe other voices. They prefer to think there are no honest men in politics. No good side, only a bad one.

[terilyn]

I'm pretty positive that the answers to your questions are, no, no, no, and no!

I think the dems are doing everything they can to damage the stock markets right now. Nothing has stuck to the President thus far and it's their last desperate gasp at legitimacy.

Pitiful and despicable. Damaging good people with their rhetoric for a stronghold on their powerful, money grabbing congressional seat.

Larry must be so proud, to be now affiliated with the likes of them.

When you lay with dogs, you get fleas. May Larry itch forevermore!

[terilyn]

I had to try LOL!

Though I realize it's rather hopeless.

Repeat after me:

Must follow Larry
Larry is all knowing
Larry is all powerful
Larry is never wrong
I love Larry
Must fluff Larry's pillows

I wonder if he sends tapes with his fund raising letters? Subliminal ones that people can play while they sleep.

Brainwashing...it's the only possible explanation.

Talk about sheeple.

[Deb]

Well, your post was FAB anyway.
