WASHINGTON (AP) -- A 1996 promotional videotape has surfaced that features Dick Cheney praising Arthur Andersen LLP for going above and beyond routine audits for the company he ran for five years.

The oil services firm the vice president once headed, Halliburton Co., is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the way it accounted for cost overruns on construction jobs during Cheney's tenure. Cheney and the company were sued on Tuesday by a watchdog group alleging fraudulent accounting practices, a suit the White House dismissed as lacking merit.

This is a coordinated effort that smells of CarvilleBegallaFBIfiles.

Cheney will be the guest on "Meet the Depressed" and make the allegations look silly. Begala,McAuliffe and SerpantHead are no match for Cheney

Clinton should have offed Karvile when he had the chance. Now that would be a legacy..........

[Howlin]

It is Carville; and Joe Lockhardt. Confirmed.

And the host on Rush's show today said that Larry Klayman is getting support from the unions through James Carville.

[MJY1288]

LOL, Why was Clinton killing all the wrong people?

Can't wait for the Ken Lay/ Billy Clinton golf videos to surface. The Ken Lay visits to clinton's WH to surface, the chinese underworld visits to the WH to surface under bill clinton, to hear of clip of billy clinton extoling the virtues of Bernie Schwartz, head of failing Loral corp to surface, for videos of Marc Rich's wifey poo with billy clinton and her personal contributions to the same to resurface (those prior to billy's astounding pardon), for al gore's visit to the Buddhist temple in order to heist money from NUNS to surface, etc. etc, etc. And perhaps...just for GOOD MEASURE....a picture of our trashed Oval Offices when the clinton filth vacated it. You know...just to keep things balanced!

It's about time Judicial Watch gets shut down for the Con-Artist they are.

Great, the douche patrol strikes again..

Their pockets fat with the money of corrupt labor unions.

Klayman and Clinton are friends. Carville is an old ally of Clinton, and likely is a big supporter and does ground work for Clinton. My guess (just a guess for any JW lawyers lurking) is Carville is the go between when Klayman sued clinton. Klayman let him know what was coming, and Carville let Klayman know what was done.

But thats just a guess. I am SURE the people at JW are very nice folks.

[Vidalia]

Didn't Clinton an his cronies have the IRS audit Judicial Watch?

[Sungirl]

Me too...I can't stand them anymore.
This scandal will hurt at the polls....poor Cheney supporting Anderson...when he truly believed they were an honest org....I hope he can get that message out loud and clear..but most people are stupid and will listen to what Katie Couric... Peter Jennings or David Letterman will say.

I think that's a very reasonable conclusion. In fact, it is possible that you are being too charitable to these sociopaths.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

An insider at Global Crossing should make the cancelled checks to Anne Bingaman suddenly appear.

ABC News played the portion of the tape where Cheney says that Andersen provided him with advice that goes beyond what a typical auditor would give. If this is some sort of planned attack on Cheney, why so early? November is months away.

[Libloather]

Cheney is responsible for everyone ELSE'S actions, yet the impeached *One couldn't even account for his own tallywacker.

Strange world...

[ned]

Well, just how low can they go? LOL

Cheap media tricks!!

[Dog]

Someone it seems is going to alot of trouble this week to cripple Bush/Cheney.......makes you wonder if something is going on behind the scenes were not privy too...

Why this attack on Cheney...

[freeperfromnj]

Cheap media tricks!!

You're not kidding. This is a coordinated smear campaign against Bush and Cheney orchestrated by Carville and Begala, aided and abetted by CNN. I flipped on the TV a few minutes ago and there was Carville and Al Sharpton calling the President a racist. Dredging up the Jasper, Texas incident. Carville and Begala are absolutely vicious beyond belief. The republicans need to address these attack dogs - pronto! THey are way out of control

[ned]

You're right! It's all politics!!

[Jhoffa_]

If this is some sort of planned attack on Cheney, why so early? November is months away.

Because if we win the Senate we can pass laws at will and get our nominees to the floor?
