Clearly, Cheney violated each and every one of those rules. Maybe he was drunk. Certainly that arrogant basTURD isn't bulletproof judging by the blowback that the WH spinners can do nothing to assuage.

Turns out Cheney's victim, Harry Whittington, is liberal minded: "While serving on the board of the Texas Department of Corrections in the 1980s," the Times reports, "and after observing the conditions in many state prisons, Whittington once claimed, 'Prisons are to crime what greenhouses are to plants.'" Now, as the inimitable Molly Ivins put it in her column yesterday, Whittington isn't some flaming liberal. He's a liberal, Ivins writes, "only by Texas standards, and that sets the bar about the height of a matchbook. Nevertheless, [he] is seriously civilized, particularly on the issues of crime, punishment and prisons." Seriously civilized. Hard to think of the Texans in this Administration--or its second-in-command, for that matter--in those terms. news.yahoo.com
