CHENEY's Press Secretary Re: IMPEACHMENT REPORT-VP Has Commited No Impeachable Offence
Vice President's office will look into impeachment report Michael Roston
Published: Wednesday April 18, 2007

Vice President Dick Cheney's office was looking into news that Articles of Impeachment will be filed by Rep. Dennis Kucinich for crimes which have not yet been identified by the Democratic Congressman. The news appeared on a blog last night produced by the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper.

"Cheney's deputy press secretary, Megan McGinn, said she couldn't comment on Kucinich's email because she hadn't seen it," wrote Sabrina Eaton at the Plain Dealer's blog "Openers."

She added, "Asked whether Cheney had done anything he could be impeached for, McGinn replied: 'The vice president has had nearly 40 years of government service and has done so in an honorable fashion.'"

RAW STORY also contacted McGinn yesterday, and was told that the Vice President's office would look into the question.

Can't produce a simple yes or no answer can he?

7. Impeachment: It's not just for BJ's, Dick.
How many impeachable offenses has he committed? Can we make a list?

I'll start. Intentionally outing an undercover CIA agent.

BTW, did you hear Cheney say that he hasn't spoken to Scooter Libby since his conviction. What a guy!

If nothing else, it gets people talking about it. How fitting that he's having his Nixon moment

15. What's the next step? Are the articles voted on by the House?
What force would cause these articles to die?

Maybe this'll turn into the real deal even though most of us probably think this is just a move to put the I-word back on the table.

17. Now THAT is a lukewarm statement! "...has done so in an honorable fashion."
40 years of looting, murder, torture, lying, treason, and shilling for Saudi Arabia sultans, "in an honorable fashion."

I suppose that's possible, in a sense--if you never betray your Saudi buddies, and assorted arms dealers and war profiteers. "Honorable" toward whom, I guess is the question.

You've got to wonder about this deputy press secretary. Bottom of the talent pool, I think. Can't even come up with a Cheneyian defense like, say, "go fuck yourself." Namby-pamby "in an honorable fashion." Is that a line of designer clothes? The "honorable" clothes line: bullet-proof vest by Exxon-Mobile, CACCI shorts, Hallibutton shirt, Blackwell "amunition belt," and special Bush Cartel trousers that protect the hind end.

20. Well there you go. The accused has said he's innocent.
Move along now. If there's one thing you know about this administration is its truthfulness and straight forward honesty.
