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.”

Bravo

And please no pictures of Waxman (sic)

[wny]

I haven’t been paying as much attention as I usually do. Is Waxman still a jacka$$?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

deeply saddened.../NOT!

[ken21]

i get tired of democrats i know

bad-mouthing cheney.

[glorgau]

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

[ronnie raygun]

Lets see whats in Waxmans closet. Im sure every liberals books are open for all to see. HYPOCRITES!!! ALL OF THEM!!!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

"You know, Dick, they really ARE a bunch of Clymers."

[NonValueAdded]

No, he’s been promoted to horse’s arse.

[y6162]

Cheney’s the best.

[Patrick1]

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

[Mr. K]

"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?

[popdonnelly]

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.

[BallyBill]

Can Dick please run for President now?

Cheney/Rumsfeld '08 ,cause the Dark Powers Demand It!

[Jaded]

later

[popdonnelly]

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.

[weegee]

And please no pictures of Waxman (sic)

Too late:

[muawiyah]

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.

[acapesket]

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.
send the Moonbats to barking!!

“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.”

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

[labette]

Yes, he is.

If only he were a few years younger...

[Psycho_Bunny]

“I’m not sure there’s anything we can do.”

Just stand around and continue to be ugly in body, thought and soul.

[muawiyah]

Uhh, that started at approximately noon on April 30, 1789 when George Washington was first sworn in as President. That halcyon period ended promptly at 1:30 as George Washington rose from his celebratory lunch.

[ArmstedFragg]

Only ‘Nostrils” would hold a news conference to announce that the courts have concluded he’s an idiot, then try to claim it’s a victory.

[seoul62]

The Phantom is better looking./Just Asking - seoul62........

[Past Your Eyes]

I have a feeling that Cheney will have plenty more “last laughs” on all his detractors. Some of them will probably come long after he’s dead.

[John123]

He has managed to stonewall everyone

Hey Waxman... there is separation of powers... now why don't you do the job you were elected for? Like you know... make everything better...

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Access to Records? How about Clinton Library Records already?

---

Paging John Kerry, please pick up the 180 Phone in the Senate Lobby.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Oh man, Waxman’s looking better nowadays.

[airborne]

Here's my favorite picture of Waxman...

[mortal19440]

Is Waxman going to take advantage of the new California marriage laws?

[mortal19440]

Got my vote.

[Fudd Fan]

[CapnJack]

I have always wished the ticket was Cheney/Bush. Things would be a lot better these days if it were that way around.

[tobyhill]

Maybe they haven’t found anything because there’s nothing to be found?

[Eagles6]

If only...

[Fudd Fan]

Hey Waxman!

[clintonh8r]

Dick Cheney is my hero. He has chunks of guys like Whacks-man in his stool....

[no dems]

Yeee Hawwww !!!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"Hey Waxman. No hard feelings, OK? Wanna go hunting? It's a great stress reliever."

[Dutch Boy]

The thing that really upsets the dems is that Cheney does not fear them. Cheney is so far above the dems in class, honor and performance that they should not even be allowed to gaze in his direction.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

On one of his better days...

[roses of sharon]

Yes, VP Cheney kisses no man's arse, (except the Presidents’, every now and again as well he should, lol).

I'm afraid he is a dying breed.

[Roscoe Karns]

[Rollee]

Congressman Waxman = Supersnout!

[depressed in 06]

Yea right, NOT!

The Bolshies think they have the next president and do not want to set precedent that someone may want to investigate them.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Is Waxman going to take advantage of the new California marriage laws?

He needs to take advantage of the California stem cell research laws to grow a replacement head.

[Ben Hecks]

LOL!! Another winner, Roscoe.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

99 Nostrils for Beer on the Wall?

[Ann Archy]

GO CHENEY!!!!!

[lilylangtree]

Finally, something good happened. Hurray, Dickie boy!
