Everything Cheney and Bush do is toward a larger end. If they are allowed to leave office without charges filed against them or impeachment at the very least, then they will have set precedent. The NEXT vice president will be able to claim independence from other parts of the government. We could then have a brief perior (4 years?) when some evil vice-president runs a hundred million Americans through the concentration/death camps that Halliburton has built around America. Run us through the gas and mulch process while the president scratches his head and says, "I dunno, let's let the courts figure this one out...there's precedent."

I think Hillary Clinton is unelectable. She can only become president if they forcibly steal another election, or if she's VP and the president is assassinated. And as long as Obama does a good Uncle Tom job, there won't be any need to kill him. So I predict president Obama scratching his head while marxist vixen Clinton runs amok. Of course, all the people she kills will be al Qeada, then Oprah will give Hillary's new book (It takes some Pillage) the Bleeding Heart award or some such crap...

Anyway, that's the deal with Cheney...it's all about setting unchallenged precedent for the next pack of animals to use.
