Rep. Nancy L. Johnson (R-Conn.) power-walked to the back of a Hartford hotel atrium earlier this week to tell television cameras how thrilled she was that Vice President Cheney would be arriving any minute to raise $120,000 for her reelection race.

But instead of being asked about her campaign or the visit, Johnson was peppered with questions about Cheney's tenure as chief executive of Halliburton Co. and the Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation of accounting changes he oversaw. Johnson, insisting that the growing debate over corporate responsibility is "not just about any one person," wheeled and rushed to the front of the room to await Cheney's motorcade, reporters calling after her about the SEC.

"Cheney's silence is deafening," a senior House Republican aide said. "If there's been one thing that should have been learned from the Clinton era, it was that these things have to be dealt with immediately, forthrightly and completely, and failure to do so gives the appearance that there really is something there. It only intensifies the political agony for all of us."

Senior House Republican aide, huh. Why doesn't this coward reveal himself to the V.P.? He'd rather hide and give anonymous quotes to liberal rags. Makes him feel like a bigshot.

The President must Close the Doors of the Borders and "clean house".

He should also quickly clean his administration when he finds out that the butcher is stealing the meat, the butler is leaving the windows open for the local cat burglar, the chauffeur is letting the air out of the tires and a gardner is planting Barbra Streissand trees on the property.

All these are hires from the State Department?

And when it's all over and Cheney is once again exonerated, what will his silence say then? It will say that he has far more class than all the puke media and all the democrats combined. Take that and shove it, Terry_used_car_salesman_McAuliffe.

As Rush noted, the liberal scumbag rags were insisting that Cheney divest himself o Haliberton stock. The when he does , they try to claim he did so because of "insider trading ". What pathetic little weasels.... So transparent and ingenuous....

She "power walked " ????

What has that to do with anything ???

I must be getting crotchety in my old age, but it seems too many journalists open their stories with what used to be called non-sequiturs :

Little Red Riding Hood spun around, checking her "do" in the mirror, and said : " It is so hard to find a good hair dresser ! "
" Oh ! Let me show you my new wolf-trimmed wrap ! "
