Thanks for the transcript of Klayman on Brown's CNN show (#420). It was even more offensive than I imagined.

And I see that a question I had on another thread (or maybe at the beginning of this one) is being spun.

I wanted to know why this lawsuit was being filed in time of war, when we could easily wait 6 months or so. I guess Klayman has someone looking at these threads.

My contempt for this man is reaching critical mass.

You asked it here (#171), and it's a very good question. Klayman's answer was well-rehearsed, but not adequate.

I note that he wants to depose the VP. I wonder if he'll do that as bombs are raining down in Iraq or when al Qaeda decides to attack us. Which is more important: Larry Klayman or defending our country? In Larry's mind, it's the former.

I posted this on the other thread, but since the topic is apropo, I'll post it here as well:

Why is it so necessary to go after Cheney during a time of war?

Bush and Cheney are very popular right now, and their popularity has extended for a long, long time politically speaking. The Dems have tried everything in their power to put a dent in the positive image the American people have for this administration. Nothing has worked. Bush the blunderer, Bush the pretender, Bush the racist--all busts. You may recall that the big re-hash of the Florida vote was all set to go and then...darn! Sept 11 happened. The NY Times, et al, never got to display the banner headlines that Bush Was Never Really Elected. Bush rallied the nation and the nation rallied behind him. The glum Dems had to sort of go along with it for a while.

Tying Bush and Cheney to the corporate stock scandals is the last clear chance for the Dems prior to November. The House and Senate are at stake and the Dems are desperate.

So, this climate of combined hope and desperation among the Dems is perfect for a fund raising campaign. Klayman would be crazy to delay the lawsuit against Cheney. Those fund raising leters need to go, go, go and now, now, now. Stike while the iron is hot! In order to justify the plea for money, their has to be a cause, and the suit is the cause.

I don't expect to get one of the letters, but I could probably just about quote it. Go get one of Klayman's old eight or ten page missles about Travelgate or the Gore E-mail suit, and just substitute Bush and Cheney's name along with Enron and Haliburton, and Voila!-- You are ready to go after a whole new money-raising base to replace the one the one that dried up when Clinton left office.

To answer your question, it might be nice for Klayman to wait til after the war to sue the VP, but it would cost him millions...millions, I tell you!
