My Rant - King Cheney

I am outraged that there is so little outrage regarding King Cheney's latest proclamation. For those few souls not preoccupied with the ordeals of Paris Hilton, our VP wanna be King, stated he does not have to adhere any executive orders. Therefore, he is exempt from providing congress with documents pertaining to his public office. By extension, he claims congress has no check and balance oversight of his shadow de facto government.

Let's look back over his reign.

Remember the energy policy Cheney crafted in secret that lead to Enron bilking billions from the state of California. Remember the billions upon billions of non-bid contracts awarded to Cheney's Haliburton - only to have Haliburton relocate its headquarters to the middle-east, thus, avoiding paying American taxes. Remember what Cheney uttered about the Iraqi war: we will be greeted as liberators; the war will be a cake walk; Iraqi oil revenue will pay for this war; Saddam possesses WMD and we should not wait for the mushroom cloud; the insurgency is in the last throes. Remember how our Veep shot his friend and reported the incident over 16 hours later - I guess the affects of his drinking had worn off. Remember how Cheney told a senator to F**koff on the senate floor.

Well, now Cheney is essentially telling the country to F**koff and mind it's own business. The business of Cheney, our elected servant, is off limits to us. My god, just think, the congress initially went after Bill Clinton for a land deal worth a couple hundred thousand dollars. What does Dick Cheney have to do before he generates the same or more amount of outrage?

To repeat the words of a reader of a Charlotte, NC newspaper: We should go after Cheney because he is a dangerous rogue nation.
