Tricky Dick Lives!

When Bloomberg.com publishes a story that suggests Tricky Dick Cheney is up to his evil eyeballs in the treasonous Plame CIA Outing Scandal, two questions come to mind:

1. Has someone already dropped a dime on the venomous Veep?

2. Is Bloomberg more concerned with protecting George W. Revenge and, therefore, tossing the Tricky Dick carcass to the jackals?

Hm.


What are you looking at,
you "major league asshole?"

Cheney May Be Entangled in CIA Leak Investigation, People Say

Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- A special counsel is focusing on whether Vice President Dick Cheney played a role in leaking a covert CIA agent's name, according to people familiar with the probe that already threatens top White House aides Karl Rove and Lewis Libby.

The special counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, has questioned current and former officials of President George W. Bush's administration about whether Cheney was involved in an effort to discredit the agent's husband, Iraq war critic and former U.S. diplomat Joseph Wilson, according to the people.

Fitzgerald has questioned Cheney's communications adviser Catherine Martin and former spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise and ex-White House aide Jim Wilkinson about the vice president's knowledge of the anti-Wilson campaign and his dealings on it with Libby, his chief of staff, the people said. The information came from multiple sources, who requested anonymity because of the secrecy and political sensitivity of the investigation.

New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who has now testified twice before a federal grand jury probing the case after spending 85 days in jail for refusing to cooperate with Fitzgerald, wrote in yesterday's New York Times that Fitzgerald asked her whether the vice president ``had known what his chief aide,'' Libby, ``was doing and saying'' regarding Wilson, a critic of the war in Iraq.

I have to ask...

Would you believe that the Vice President (who was placed on the ticket in 2000 as the "grownup") had no idea what his Chief-of-Staff was doing when he and KKKarl Rove chaired all of those meetings of the WHIG (White House Iraq Group)?

Would you believe that the president and the vice president had no idea what was going on when they attended some of those WHIG meetings?

Would you believe that Libby and Rove acted independently when they investigated Ambassador Joseph Wilson and told no less than 6 high-priced reporters that Wilson's wife was CIA?

Would you believe that the White House wouldn't smear anyone and everyone who dared point out that the "evidence" presented before the invasion and occupation of Iraq was tainted?

Where's Agent 86 (Don Adams) when you need him?

Heaviest of sighs.
