OK, I'm having trouble waking up. What happened? First with Cheney

and secondly, which Senator's plane was struck by lightening? I couldn't seem to get the drift of either story. Help! I'm going to make mud for coffee this morning.

:donut: cheers.

The role of Vice President Dick Cheney in the criminal case stemming from the outing of White House critic Joseph Wilson's CIA wife is likely to get fresh attention as a result of newly disclosed notes showing that Cheney personally asked whether Wilson had been sent by his wife on a "junket" to Africa.
Cheney's notes, written on the margins of a July 6, 2003 New York Times op-ed column by former ambassador Joseph Wilson, were included as part of a filing Friday night by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the perjury and obstruction case against ex-Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

The notes, Fitzgerald said in his filing, show that Cheney and Libby were "acutely focused" on the Wilson column and on rebutting his criticisms of the White House's handling of pre-Iraq war intelligence.

Were there any injuries? Generally, there aren't.

I flipped on the TV to find ABC reporting that Cheney wanted to do something so bad even the NSA didn't want to do it. I turned it to "A Catered Affair" on TBS until I get my coffee and oatmeal and can process this.

Ted Kennedy was in a Cessna that was struck by lightning and all electronics were disabled. The plane landed sucessfully at a Connecticut airport- Yea! Freepers bane still lives!
