I cannot wait for Dick Cheney to leave office. I don’t care how it happens, or if we have to wait until January 20, 2009. The man just makes me insane. Consider this:
Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he is a “big fan” of embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
In a interview with CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, the vice president also said Gonzales has been truthful in his testimony before Congress.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, a Democrat, has said he doesn’t trust Gonzales, but Cheney said the attorney general has the support of the only man who really counts.
“I’ve had my differences with Pat Leahy,” Cheney said. “I think the key is whether or not he (Gonzales) has the confidence of the president — and he clearly does.”
Only Dick Cheney would remind everyone that he once told Sen. Leahy to ‘go fuck himself’ while telling everyone that he’s a big fan of a man that may soon be facing impeachment. But, then, Cheney has no respect for the rule of law, or for juries.
Cheney also discussed the case of his former top aide, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. President Bush commuted the 2½-year prison term Libby received following his conviction in the CIA leak case.
The vice president said he disagreed with the jury’s guilty verdict.
“You asked me if I disagreed with the verdict, and I did,” he said.
What was there to disagree with? Is it supposed to be legal to lie to the FBI and a grand jury?
How do we get rid of this guy?
