Dick Cheney indicted
Other accounts suggest the prosecutor in this South Texas county isn't exactly solid, still ... The image of Dick Cheney in an orange jumpsuit is a pleasant thought.

I'd like to think there was something to this, but something suggests TeflonŽ will come into play. It's not yet 01.20.2009.
Hopefully President Obama will field a good, strong Justice team who can go after these devils in earnest and put them in those Orange jumpsuits. Click on clicky and imagine handcuffs are present.
Then...off to the Hague!

That's as disappointing as going to a bar after seeing a sign that said, "Free Beer and Tits," only to find out it was the name of a crappy cover band.

Why have a trumped up investigation and phony trial? Let's just charge him with 'driving while being conservative and white' and throw him into jail. Surely we have reached such a level of 'sophistication' that we can drop the pretense and just start throwing people in jail for political reasons. What this country needs are political prisoners. Every truly leftist country has them so why can't we. Yea, let's jail those conservatives. Sieg Heil, sieg heil!

Best news I've heard all day--well, this and that convicted felon Ted Stevens has lost his Senate seat.
Maybe there's hope for a future for our nation after all. The moral arc of the universe bends towards justice even in these tired old times.

And...I've thought for sometime that being white, male AND a Republican should be a jailable offense; and that die-hard Monkeyboy enablers should spend the rest of their days at Club Gitmo. Good thing I love my country more than I dislike what they've done to my country.

Oh, come on, zelda gilroy, where is your sense of liberal ideology. We can't let those white boys get away with that. We got to nail them to the wall. How dare Bush be so presumptuous as to believe that anyone other than a liberal should rule.

Hey, it worked on Judge Don Siegelman in Alabama who Rove had prosecuted. And it will be nice when investigations open on Rove's role in the prosecution.
Nice thing is that if Cheney is prosecuted in Texas by Texas authorities Monkey Boy cannot pardon him, not even preemptively.

You know...if our Federal government doesn't have the balls to deal with these top criminals, there are other ways to at least give them a few bad days. Already there are lawsuits being filed against Cheney-Bush all over Europe. What this does is make it impossible for Cheney or Bush to go have a lovely vacation in that part of the world since the lawsuits subject them to arrest as soon as their plane touches down in the country where the lawsuit was filed. Think General Augustus Pinochet. Think Henry Kissinger.
Now....if all the states in the Union follow suit, at least we'd have Bush & Cheney trapped in their home state and they wouldn't come strolling into Arkansas to make trouble for us or slurp up some of that fine Rockefeller food down in LR. If you can't exterminate the rat, you can at least bottle the rat up and wait for it to die. Now there's some smart thinking....2nd best....but still pretty damn good.

UPDATE: Seems V-P Cheney has invested $85 million in a private prison system in Raymondville.
The lastest TV report is on blue name.
"According to Cheney's indictment, the Vice President is specifically accused of investing some $85 million in the Vanguard group that houses federal inmates. The grand jury accuses Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez of engaging in organized criminal activity. "

It's called a Freudian slip, 'Gotta. And if you look real close, you might find others in the same closet where you found that one.
