Cheney ‘Furious’ at Bush, Could This Be?

For all the bad things that our 43rd president did this is one good thing he did at the very end to not pardon Scooter Libby.The sad thing about this whole story is that the man whom should have been pleading for a pardon is the vice president.This is one of the most angry,paranoid and evil politicians to ever live in the White House.A place next to Nixon would be an honor for him.One last thing to say is to Scooter Libby.I feel very sorry that you did have the guts to speak out against this person and instead chose to defend him.

Cheney, “Scooter a decent and honorable man”….This is Cheney speaking! Scooter “outed” a CIA operative. Is he serious? Cheney should go to jail. Hope Scooter tell it all. I guess you’re “honorable” if you do what Cheney saids. Who the hell do he think he is?

Well, as Cheney is so fond of saying, “So?” I think Bush did the right thing. Libby was working and taking orders from someone who thought he was above the law.

“Strikes me, Scooter’s such a bleep poor liar you’re lucky ole Fitz, Fitz what-ever-the-hell-his-name-is(federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald) didn’t nail your bleep too.” Perhaps Bush’s mist eloquant statement to date.

Libby took the blame for both of those men …..They needed an escape goat .

He had better watch it, hurt his back moving out, he is liable to get a hernia shouting like that. LOL

Why oh why couldn’t Lynne have accidently pushed the wheelchair over the railing at the inaguration.

Hang,
The VP doesn’t live in the White House, just an FYI.

I am glad to hear that Bush finally stood up to Cheney. It is too bad that he didn´t do so before, and over far more crucial issues.

A;ways thought Cheney was pulling the strings there. Still think he was but glad to see bush put the final smackdown on him.

Hey any of you seen “W”. Richard Dreyfuss is positively terrorifying as Cheney.

“Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and honorable men I’ve ever known.” A ringing endorsement from the face-shooter. What a joke!

How quickly we all forget. We are debating who called the shots, Cheney or Bush. For the first 7 years of Bush/Cheney there is a good chance the most influential man in our government was Karl Rove.
He is a political genious in the way that Hitler was a genious. But Karl’s failing was he couldn’t protect the house of cards he had built for the whole 8 years so he bailed.
Smart move. Everyone now debates the awful Bush administration with rarely a mention of Rove.

Barefoot – A few misspeaks from ole silver tongued Joe aint nothing compared to Cheney and his murderous run.

Tsk, tsk ABC News, is this news? To have hearsay? We know that Valerie Plame LIED to the Senate Intelligence Committee. She was NOT a covert agent. Armitage was the ONE who outed her, not Libby. Sure makes it okay to not investigate Clinton’s pardons, right? Libby was the left’s scapegoat because they couldn’t get Bush or Cheney. Shame on Ambassador Wilson…God knows the truth! I can sympathize with Cheney, having an innocent person be convicted is a hard pill to swallow. Having the left lie their pants off in regards to Iraq. The left as we know, has no morals.

I think Valerie Plame should be charged with lying under oath to Congress. For that matter, Clinton should be in jail. All he did was pay a fine and loose his law license…what crap. If there is anyone who’s lying, it’s the dems in Congress saying they were hoodwinked by Bush on evidence with Iraq. What a load of lard! These leftists have no shame and wouldn’t know the truth if it bit em in the arse!

Let the fun begin! I can hardly wait to see the WHOLE administration from the last eight years prosecuted!

I want to see “W 2 the Cheney years.”

His outrabe goes to show how much Cheney was used to getting his way.

this is just the beginning… i hope there are some real journalists out there that will start reporting on the huge amount of support in this country to have bush and cheney and rice and rumsfield (and more) brought to justice… having libby, cheney’s fall guy, testify against cheney will be one of the happiest days of my life… seeing cheney’s evil a$ brought before a people’s court will be one of the healthiest things for this country

JL – If you want Cheney to be persecuted, then he needs to get in line behind Clinton. Clinton let the first bombing of the World Trade Center be a criminal matter, he allowed the U.S. to not go after Bin Laden. So, if anyone has ANY blood on their hands, it’s BILL CLINTON! And for YOUR info, he lied under oath and served NO sentence. Libby, supposedly lied to FBI agents and was sentenced to jail. Fitzgerald KNEW who outed Plame from the get go!!!!!!
Now, you do the math!!!! YOu are stating that if a President lies, it’s okay, but if it’s a republican, it’s NOT okay. The ONLY PEOPLE WHO LIED WERE VALERIE PLAME AND JOE WILSON. Please read the Senate Intell. Committee’s findings on this….I hope your eyes will be opened!!!!!!

It is amazing what is honorable to the former VP. Lies, greed, war, TORTURE, Rumsfield REMEMBER!! Why is he still not in prison?

Cheney should be in jail as well

Lets just be thankful these two clowns aren’t in control anymore.

Amy, the point is that he should never have been before the special prosecuter in the first place. It was an unfair “witch hunt” where “everyone” knew Valerie’s job and where she worked yadda yadda yadda. No you should never lie to grand juries etc. Just ask Bill Clinton the only elected president to be impeached in the history of the U.S.

send cheney to the war crimes court in the Hague. and put him away for life. and send bush behind him too. theat where their rightful place is.

Sounds like a lot of “bleeps” for a Christian former president. Maybe Laura should wash his mouth out with a bar of soap

The way I remember it, Libby didn’t “out” Plame, Richard Armitage did. I’ve heard Rush Limbaugh and others make the Cheney argument – Libby shouldn’t have gone to jail because no crime regarding the outing of Valerie Plame was committed. I’m pretty sure, however that Libby was convicted of lying to a grand jury, and that is a crime – it doesn’t matter what the lie was about. As Fitzgerald said in a press conference, they try people for that all the time. If they didn’t, people would lose the incentive to tell the truth even when they didn’t want to, and the American Justice system would fall apart.
Cheney apparently believes that he and his buddies should be above the law.

I heard Cheney made the top ten list of most evil people of the last century. Boy does he look the part!

wow bush stood up to cheney just like how at the end darth vader stood up to darth sedious. to bad he didnt do it alot sooner to save this nation trillions and two bad wars.

cheney willburn in hades for hisactions and the poor stupididiot bush willalso for following the demon cheney.

If I was G.W., I’ld stick to only fishing with Darth.

Why oh why couldn’t Lynne have accidently pushed the wheelchair over the railing at the inaguration.

Well never let it be said that Democrats ever wanted to kill Republicans. They are the people who stand for “love” and “brotherhood”. They are the “love” generation, aren’t they?

justrighttoo | Feb 17, 2009 1:57:50 …Let’s see if & what Frank and Shummer say about the FANNIE & FREDDIE fiasco that has wrecked havoc on our economy. Where’s that congressional investigation they promised (sweep,sweep,sweep)???

spike – Actually I am an Independent. I never said I hoped Cheney would die. Just thought that it would make a lovely parting gift so to speak. This man is the coldist, meanist individual I have ever seen. His eyes are just vacant pools of ice.

Cheney: “Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and honorable men I’ve ever known,”
And that, folks, sums up the fundamental problem of the WORST VICE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.

Hey People: Democrats, Republicans, Independents!!!
Just where are we AS AMERICANS??!!! Where is the honorable person (s) that supposedly guide our country for the better? To see and hear all these so called politicians stuff their pockets with millions of dollars by their crookedness, isn’t time for us, the people, to stand up and revolt against all the injustice our so called “leaders” are doing in our name?
PEOPLE, WAKE UP!!! Be who may be governing, if the person is not capable of doing so, let’s get them out!!!
NOW… even some states want to secede from the union?! Have we come to that???
Are we another Rome to go down in ashes???
PEOPLE WAKE UP! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!!

Isn’t it a riot how, no matter how badly the administration of the last 8 years gets caught with their pants down, some loser tries to turn it into a moan and groan about Pres. Obama??? Kinda pathetic, really.

I believe that Scooter Libby merely took the blame for Karl Rove. Rove was protected by Bush, somehow, but he was the idiot that the village protected.
And who voted them in? Not I, thank God!

diane—oh yes clinton had sex…terrible but it didnt cost us one red cent bush and chaney did cost us 5 trillion dollars. and reagan destroyed the working class and cruched the unions that protect the working class.. also ever hear about the iran contra affair of charlie wilsons war which reagan knew about..how about it was reagans orders that had our military train bin laden and his group.

Mr. Bush, God Bless You and I am truly proud of you for not pardoning Scooter Libby..scum.! Dark Vader should be in jail.

Bush, Rove, Cheney and Rumsfeld should all be in sitting in prison right now for trashing our country’s economy, illegal wiretapping, disregarding the constitution, outing a CIA agent, going to war into Iraq on fabricated lies and from all the blood on their hands that war has brought. The list of crimes are endless.
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield should also be tried on war crimes. History is starting to get it right able this corrupt administration.

Hey T, How dare you talk about the republican Mesiah like that! You forgot His record deficit (surpassed only by W) and what about the savings and loan scandals which the Bush family were so involved in?

Barefootboy: Im sure Hitler did what he thought was right too. dont make him or bush\cheney right.

Republicans are stupid and they really don’t get it….!!!!

Bury Cheney in a rubber suit, under artificial turf because I won’t be the only one pissing on Cheney’s grave. The sooner the better…

Great, Bush didn’t develop the stones to stand up to Cheney until his last days in office? He probably only showed the backbone because he knew he wouldn’t have to face him any more.

“Great, Bush didn’t develop the stones to stand up to Cheney until his last days in office?”
Honestly, this was my exact thought upon seeing Matt Lauer raise this issue with Karl Rove this morning.

Go back to the 2000 election period when Bush Senior spoke of then chosen wonder boy “Cheney” for Bush Jr VP, and senior said in so many words: “Great pick, and let’s see if John Kerry can pick a VP better than Cheney”.
What does Bush Senior think of Cheney now over 8 years later. I’m sure he’s not thinking Cheney was such a great pick after all, especially when Bush Sr was the CIA Director once. I heard from another CIA agent that the outing was justified, but that CIA agent is no longer employed — he was fired. So outing a CIA agent is a big NO NO, especially to get revenge for political polarization. Bush Jr will always be flawed, and he just chose to “bleep” with Cheney as Clinton “bleeped” Monica — no diff, but poor judgment.

They can share each others butts when they get to the big house for their greedy war crimes.

NMC: While Clinton was actually REDUCING the actual dollar value of the national debt for several months in 2000, Bush racked up $5 TRILLION in additional debt in just 8 years! Spending like that would have bought Sarah Palin just a whole lot of Prada!

Why are people beating a dead horse?
It’s over, folks.
Move on.
Don’t you have bigger things to think about?
You can write all kinds of senarios with what went on.
You can write about Obama, too.
Do you not think we have bigger issues at hand now? Or do you want to live in a soap opera?
It’s not helping our problems one bit.
Focus on what’s happening now.
Focus on the big picture and the details. As they say, ‘the devil is in the details’.
Don’t get sideswiped.

Uh Oh, Cheney is not going to allow Bush in the underground bunker cities when they will need to escape to avoid being with the sheeple on the surface during WWIII. Poor, poor W!! lol

THE HONEY MOON IS OVER

Ya know what? 99 Percent of you posters on Here voted TWICE for this administration. Now you want to ploy us into thinking you’re all self righteous and all that! Makes us real Non NeoSpastic Reaganites sick to our guts. You folks would turn on J.H.C.if it meant you could state You or I am Right all the time. Se what I mean? What are you thinking right now after reading the gospel truth right now right here?

It’s about time Bush stood up to that
paranoid psycho Cheney. Ever since
the VP took over the priorities of the
military with the help of the non-bid
contractor Halliburton(his former employer),
creating an energy policy with only his buddies
in the oil industry and constantly giving
his fear sermons to anyone who fell for it.
THIS is the guy we should be looking at in
this situation,NOT Bush.

Just like Olivers Stones W movie was the worst piece of cover-up for the worst PRECEDENT in history, we can count on the MAINSCREAMS to similarly cover-up every lie they gobbled as they fawned for ACCESS. Woodward’s stammering and halting speech either shows his total cover-up or he is in the throes of early Alzheimers…take your pick!!!

It’s so wrong that Bush & Cheney were ever in office in the first place. The American public was sold a bill of goods that was laughable at best, but ultimately pathetic. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Americans please, please remember that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rove, and Rice don’t know math and hate science. So please don’t ever elect one of their relatives. Don’t forget Jeb and George P. God help America! And what was Rumsfield doing in Dupont Circle area about 2 weeks ago? Anyone who knows Washington DC knows the activity that occurs in that area. So, for a married man to be in that area without his wife is suspicious.

Lost in all the 5 years of this story about the Plame-Wilson affair is that what Cheney-Libby et.al. did was a COWARDLY act. Since when do men of courage destroy a political opponent spouse’s career?
It’s too late for impeachment. It’s not too late to revoke the lifetime pensions of these cowards.

Charse, you’d make a great Bush under Cheney. Did you not notice that any Democrat or republican was condemned to being anti patriotic if they did not vote in favor of the Bush Cheney craze?
Did you not notice that Bush/Cheney had already made agreements before even the 2000 election? (Or whatever that travesty was).
Did any one notice that Cheney shoots you in the face when you cross him?
Cheney angry? Not at all, he’s really quite mad.

At least politics in the United States haven’t changed since the earliest days of our fair republic. Everything from both sides is expressed in absolutes and is personal. No matter who is talking, the “other” Party is evil incarnate. From the days of Adams and Jefferson – the “other” party has been wicked and selfish and it’s candidate – the personification of the basest and most foul individual, lacking all character and moral turpitude.
The problem is that in the days of Adams and Jefferson, there were real differences between the two parties. Today both parties change their spots to fit the latest public opinion polls. They are different sides of the same coin. “Coin” being the operative word, for each party is more interested in the money, (and power), than the principals that they respectively espouse. It is the rare politico who returns home, (unless he or she has to), if there is a nice cushy position with a lobbying concern inside The Beltway. Where are all the past Senate Majority and Minority Leaders? The former Speakers of the House and various ex-committee chairs? Virtually all of these sure haven’t gone into private practice. to dabble in the various US Codes that they helped to mangle. Nope, they get paid to help foreign countries, multinational corporations, and whoever can pay their “coin”, how to get around all those laws and how to get special ones enacted.

“Don’t you have bigger things to think about?”
Yeah, but some of us are capable of thinking about more than one thing. And accountability is important when we’re talking about torture and loss of life, no?

Until the Bush administration is held to some serious accountability, this country is at risk for more of the same criminal activities, or worse! A president, and his administration must never again consider themselves above the law. The old axiom that “absolute power corrupts absolutely” can be used to describe the Bush White House. People need to go to jail. Period. That is the best way to discourage corruption going forward.

In Bush’s defense, He probably didn’t know when he was lying. I never quite figured out how Cheney got his arm up there to control old Bush. The common thread of our political history is the requirement that they either come from a wealthy political family or have a law degree (or both) Like our lawyers are trained to lie as a condition of employment so are politicians required to lie and to protect those who cover the community lies. Can’t you just imagine how Cheney told Scooter to cover me and I’ll take care of you. Hell, he didn’t even have to load the shotgun. If “W” had only had another eight years of education, he might have made a fair politician or maybe become a lobby “doer”. Thank God that is now history, although the damage will most likely take twenty or thirty years to overcome.
Of more concern is just why an otherwise intelligent man, and one who is a wonderful orator, would wish to serve as President. Regardless of what he can accomplish President Obama will have many grey hairs upon his head when this is over.
If we do not see a non-partisian effort between the Democratic leadership and the Rebublician party, we need to march as a “Five Million Man March” onto the Senate Steps. When they can park a cab in Washington D.C. let alone drive one perhaps these dumb asses will start to listen.
I just hope they can stop the in-fighting long enough to get about the business of running this Nation and remove us from the listing of Western Idiots who have taken the world economy down by unregulated investment banking and securities fraud.
Good luck Mr. President and may
God Bless America once again.

This story is definitely entertaining…old news, however. Just the thing to keep everyone off the current issues regarding activities of the new administration.

I hate Bush and his entire administration. I think he is the worst president we’ve had in recent history. But Bush not giving Scooter Libby a pardon, raises him half a notch in my estimation. And makes me hate Cheney all the more.

My question is why isn’t obama and his cronies included in your comment. He got a get out of jail free card or something?

Bush is right on this one, and there are others that probably merit pardoning, but Libby is certainly not one of them. Sorry Dickie boy…you lose. Wait until Uncle Joe and Rhambo have their socialist way, then you will see corruption at its best…oh but wait, it will be covered up, and covered well by the slick guy from the Chicago political machine.

Maybe Scooter will get his memory back.

Shut up about Republicans and start holding the Democrats to account instead of kissing their backsides, you little media creeps.
