Using unusually intemperate rhetoric even for a Democrat, firebrand Congresswoman Maxine Waters is blasting President Bush and Vice President Cheney over their conduct of the Iraq war, calling Bush "a liar" and Cheney "a thief."
After attending a mock impeachment hearing two weeks ago staged by House Democrats, Rep. Waters told cheering onlookers, "Finally Congress has come alive and decided to take on this president in a real way."
"The president is a liar," she continued. "Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar, he is a thief."
She accused Cheney of helping his former company Halliburton rake off illicit war profits in Iraq.
Waters' comments went unreported by the mainstream press, only to be picked up by the People's Weekly World Newspaper - a Communist publication.
Rep. Waters declined to respond to repeated calls from NewsMax this week, asking if she disputed the quote.
The California Democrat is a leading member of the House Out of Iraq caucus; a group whose roster includes John Conyers, Barbara Lee, Charles Rangel, Carolyn Maloney, Jose Serrano and others anti-war Democrats.
Speaking alongside Waters, Rep. Lee vowed to apply "street heat" to Congress to bring an end to "this illegal war."
And Maxine Waters is an idiot.
There's dumb...and then there's Maxine Waters.

Waters is an ignorant old fool . She only got to where she is because in the 70s society was "pushing " and promoting black women into positions to racially and sexually balance things out. She's not particullary smart nor is she much of a patriot either.
There she goes again, putting the horse before the cart. I predict she'll do a 360 on this before the day is out.
How could anyone question the integrity and intellect of a women who invests with Solomon Barney Frank?
I think you over rate her when you call her an idiot!
Geeze, what an idiot....everyone knows Bush is Hitler, Rove is Goebbels, Cheney is Eichman. I am dissapointed she did not stick with the playbook.

She's such an idiot. I actually hope she keeps talking and getting press.
No, that was Sheila Lee Jackson, I believe.
