'I AM the president!,' snarls Cheney

As the corner he's being backed into gets smaller and smaller.
Attorneys for Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby said “told a federal judge today they cannot be held liable for anything they disclosed to reporters about covert CIA officer Valerie Plame or her husband, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.” Cheney’s attorney argued that the vice president is “legally akin to the president because of his unique government role, and has absolute immunity from any lawsuit.”
The Vice President is the same as the President? Sorry. Only in your mind, Dick.

What I find really sad about the Bush/Cheney administration is that before they came along, America had it all. Supreme untarnished military power, respected by its allies and foes around the world, a wonderful currency whose faith in its seemed unshakeable. Prior to Bush II, America was on top of the world--the undisputed leader of everthing. Where Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr. gave the United States unprecedented political and military superiority unseen since the Roman Empire, Clinton topped it off by delivering the largest budgetary surplus ever. Those three will probably be remembered as the "Great Troika" who made America not just great, but even greater. However, the current moron in power & his deluded sidekick, will likely be remembered as the ones who shattered the supremacy of America, completely trashed its image abroad, bankrupted the country's finances & started a war which has made its nemises, Iran, ever more powerful and now on the cusp of obtaining the ultimate WMD, the nuclear bomb. Can you imagine it? A country so great, so supreme, and its greatness pissed away by someone so inept, so foolish, so underqualified, so dishonest.It's a real tragedy because the Bush/Cheney administration reminds everyone around the world what America could have been, as opposed to what it's becoming. America's going from Gold to rust. George W. 'Commodus' Bush--the worst president of the Greatest Empire the World has ever seen.

Excellently well said, Anonymous!

Yes, it is a tragedy, especially when you realize it could have been... SHOULD have been Al Gore as president. Then none of this would have happened.
