Cheney gets last laugh By Kevin Bogardus and Rebecca Brown Posted: 06/19/08 07:51 PM [ET]
Vice President Dick Cheney has won his battle to withhold records from the public despite efforts by Congress and other critics who say they should be open to scrutiny.
The Democrats are conceding defeat. The party’s top investigator in the House of Representatives acknowledges that there is nothing more he can do to force the vice president’s hand.
“He has managed to stonewall everyone,” said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “I’m not sure there’s anything we can do.”

Cheney should give a speech saying that he awaits Congressman Waxman’s next request.

Good, now Waxman can do what he always wanted to do. Investigate the Countrywide Six.

"A leading watchdog group agrees that Cheney will probably leave the White House without turning over the precise number of records he has determined to be classified or a detailed list naming whom he employs. "Did we ever find out who hired Craig Livingstone?

Why should Cheney have to respond to this harassing garbage? Let’s subpoena Waxman’s files and phone logs, and see how he likes it.

There once was a time in this country when the branches of government spent their time attending to the country’s business, instead of harassing each other.

To show his good faith Waxman should immediately ask for the establishment of a House Committee Rule that the personal records, etc. of any committee chairman be opened to public scrutiny the day he or she moves on.

If only Henry had wasted some of our public dollars on his “Nostrillitis Cure” as opposed to his stupid endless hearings on “Nothing”!
I am sick of seeing his boogers on C-Span.
Go Dick Cheney!
Put your sunglasses on, take another photo.

We are obviously dealing with a great human tragedy here. National mourning and flags half-staff could be in order...
