CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT OF CHENEY AT GEPHARDT EVENT
Sat Jan 17 2004 20:09:48 ET

Congressman Jerry Costello, a Democrat from Illinois' 12th District, appeared at a Dick Gephardt rally in Clinton, IA on Saturday. Gephardt was unable to attend the appearance because his plane was fogged in due to inclement weather, but Costello addressed the crowd and took questions. The "Countdown to Victory" event was held at the Sundance Lodge on Route 30.

Question From Audience: "Is integrity going to become an issue in this campaign? Because the Republicans railed on Clinton for eight years - and some of it rightfully so. That rubbed off on Gore negatively and unfortunately. But this administration, and Cheney in particular, he's an embarrassment to the whole country. And it doesn't get enough publicity. When Enron walked in there and dictated the American energy policy, he didn't even try to cover it up. The very next day he came out with the energy policy."

Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL): "Could you imagine what the Republicans would be doing to a Democratic president who was a CEO of a company that now has gotten billions of dollars worth of contracts - no-bid contracts - without competition? There would be hearings day after day. And my prediction to you is that you will see in this session of Congress that begins on Tuesday, there will not only be hearings but I think there ought to be impeachment hearings."

OPEC mulls move to euro for pricing crude oil
by PATRICK BRETHOUR
Globe and Mail Update

Calgary — OPEC is considering a move away from using the U.S. dollar — and to the euro — to set its price targets for crude oil, the highest-profile manifestation of the debilitating effect of depreciation on the greenback's standing as the currency of international commerce.

Could they be coming after us first? Take the prestige out of the almighty dollar and precipitate its fall further damaging the US economy. That'd be one way to kick "Appointed-President" George <font color=red>Warmonger</font> Bush out of office.
