NEWS WITH OOZE tm plus Cheney XXX Director's Cut: Cheney continues to mark X on war dissenters who must be nuts. Cheney supporters go nuts over X on Cheney in CNN broadcast.X ON CHENEY lasted less than fifteenth of second. Odd that? Hysteria? Where were all these people way back when? Is it all subliminable? Oh, and here is what Cheney said XXX. God Bless Dick. And yesterday's news still applies: Iraqis want a timetable for the United States getting out of Iraq. The NYT take. The Iraqis also want allegations of torture to be investigated and those responsible to be held accountable. Not a good day to be a Dick, Cheney or otherwise.
RELATED NY Times Bumiller Tip: Always wade to the end to last graphs for point. Cheerleading for White House has diminished as Pom Pom Princess continues slow move toward "reporting." The metaphor we will see for days, if not weeks. Blumenthal: Mean Jean's Marine has been to sea before.
LEAVING CHENEY BEHIND
NEW:BOMBS AWAY [AFP] Bush wanted to bomb Al Jazeera [via Shakespeare's Sister]
The Heretik notes Tony Blair reportedly talked Bush out of it. That could be the first time Bush ever listened to anybody. MORENAMING NAMES John Rendon is The Man Who Sold the War. More on Rendon. This administration sees everything as a product and the marketing of every product can be "privatized." Why should "truth" be any different?
POCKET CHANGE Mr. Scanlon also agreed to repay $19.6 million to his former Indian tribe lobbying clients.
The Tempest in a Teapot(Dome) TM is about to blow across the political landscape. Imagine how much prosecutors must have on Abramoff partner John Scanlon to get him to pay out almost twenty million and take five years in the Big House? Some big time politicians are going to go down soon. The relationship of Abramoff and Scanlon to Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio) will take some scrutiny. Ney apparently could not say nay to tempatation. So what? As Chairman of House Administration, Ney oversees the day-to-day operations of the US Capitol, and is known by other Congressmen as, "the Mayor of Capitol Hill".
Don't know Jack? MORE SLIME IN ITS TIME
That CNN chose an "X", and not a "G" or "B" is proof enough that this attack on the Veep was orchestrated at the highest levels. Three "X"es and you're porno!
Cheney and the X-Files
p.s. - Cheney has no intention of ever releasing the videos he made in the basement of the White House with those abducted Iraqi children (although his lack of denial is truly deafening).

Bob Gramm was on Brian Lehrer show this morning ... he confirmed that the intelligence seen by most of the legislators that voted for the war was, um, cooked.

Can we call him 'The X Man' from now on? Or maybe the 'Hex Man'...or for that matter the 'Ex Man'...although I'm not sure he was ever a man. I think lots of folks out there are throwing voodoo at the screen whenever they see his snarling visage.

Remember, some of these are the same ones who think that rewriting Murtha's resolution was "honest editing."
And refuse to believe that there just *might* be a "normal" explanation.
On the other hoof, I will admit that I find it amusing that the Freepers are getting all bent out of shape over two mucking frames of video.
And the Right-ists claim that Oliver Stone is a paranoid and sees conspiracies under every grassy knoll?
