Cheney told the CIA that not finding evidence wasn't acceptable. He would drop in and encourage them to keep looking. There is no seperation of powers.

This is pretty bad timing, not only because of the election but also because the economy is going to over shadow this extremely important evidence.

Both the legislative and judicial branch (well, at least the judges and attorneys that Bush didn't replace) of government have gotten sick of the Bush Administration's heavy-handed ways, and fortunately it caught up with Bush so that no president in the near future will act the same way again. 

I think it will be great for executive/legislative relations that a senator will be in the Oval Office no matter who we elect for the next four years.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
