Dick cheneys response will be one of his fingers.
Right on!
And if he ignores the subpoena. ARREST HIS FAT ASS.
And if Gonzalez won't enforce the law...then have HIM removed.
We've seen this movie before.
Evil and She-Evil holding some poor helpless infant... eeeeeyowwwwww That's scary!!!
Great after how man months the dems finally show some hint of their power. Sorry to say this, but for me it is too little too late. And the shameful Iraq war vote is still fresh in my mind.
And I agree if the administration does not follow the order they should be dealt with harshly, but with the wimps we have running the democratic party they would just give up on it.
It's funny that a lot of republicans on the committee support this. Bush will not be able to use his usually spin.
He got served what, steaming Quayle?
We'll be at war with Iran by Sunday.
But what about Paris Hilton?
I wonder which story will get the most screen time.
gorebath @ 7:
It's about time. The suspense is killing me.
LEAHY FOR PRESIDENT!!!
At last! A Dem with NADS
Take him in to custody now and we'll worry about the legalities later. Isn't the way he likes to do it?
SITEMONITOR! Please help with the filter again
Somebody save that poor baby!

I want Dick to be severed, and served up and stuffed in his wife's mouth.
White House, Cheney's Office, Subpoenaed
LAURIE KELLMAN | June 27, 2007 02:39 PM EST |
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney's office Wednesday for documents relating to President Bush's controversial eavesdropping program that operated warrant-free for five years.
Also named in subpoenas signed by committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were the Justice Department and the National Security Council. The four parties have until July 18 to comply, according to a statement by Leahy's office.
The committee wants documents that might shed light on internal disputes within the administration over the legality of the program, which Bush put under court review earlier this year.
"Our attempts to obtain information through testimony of administration witnesses have been met with a consistent pattern of evasion and misdirection," Leahy said in his cover letters for the subpoenas. "There is no legitimate argument for withholding the requested materials from this committee."
Echoing its response to previous congressional subpoenas to former administration officials Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor, the White House gave no indication that it would comply.
"We're aware of the committee's action and will respond appropriately," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "It's unfortunate that congressional Democrats continue to choose the route of confrontation."
The showdown between the White House and Congress could land in federal court.
Oh how cute. What's the little bastard's name?
They and the entire Bushco stole elections and bypassed democracy. We should impeach them and yank Alito and Roberts, the illegitimate Supreme Court "justices"...
Words can't convey how much I want this criminal nailed, sentenced, and imprisoned for crimes against the People of the United States and crimes against the People of the World.
cheney to subpoena, just put it in the shredder or i could keep it safe for you in my
MANSIZE safe. cheney has a man problem. he uses a thimble for a cock piece.
please please please..OH Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please.......I can't express how much I hope he goes down.

Richard Cheney, VP.
Right on!
Never mind all this...WHO is the "father" of that baby???????????I think it's the old man himself!
And there was much rejoicing....
13 cheesesauce Says:
That visual is ridiculous ...LMAO!
Waxman is in the House not the Senate...
That baby wont do well in prison.
Chuck, the "father" is Cheney's daughter. Her wife is the bitch.
Er wait, they don't allow gay marriage.
Er wait, it's immoral to have a child out of wedlock.
Er wait, where do baby's come from?
That's right. They come from God. Especially when there's no apparent father.
please people, wake up!
make these guys serve out their term!
They are not stupid, And I am sure that if they fell like they have no choice, they will pull a last second substitution and really fuck the game up.
Has anyone seen the little baby since that photo was taken? I'm afraid old shooter ate it.
From the Wash Post today, we learn that all the easing and destroying of environmental laws were a direct result of cheney's desires. Could he be more of a bastard? I don't think so.
If this gets really embarrassing, Lynn will hide the spare batteries for Dick's artificial ticker.
I expect Darth Cheney to evoke Executive Privileges under National Security,
and basically tell them to F**K off. He doesn't need to answer to anyone
OR any laws. Why oh why can't his pace maker just stop working, not that
it would matter much, he is a souless automaton possesed by satan himself.
So we get to bat him back-and-forth with rackets?
someone should check the skull of that ugly monstrosity for the tattoo of 666-666.(duplicate because of the cloning...happens)

In other words, you may not be too far off the mark.
I'd love for Cheney's office to claim some kind of executive privilege here... "I thought you weren't part of the Executive Branch????"
I'd actually be kind of disappointed if the guy only goes down for wire-tapping, and not genocide...
The kitchen is getting pretty freaking hot for Dicky-doo,

Lucid Fiction:
So confused...
Didn't Cheney indicate that he shouldn't be classified entirely with the Bush Administration just recently?
So how could he claim Executive Privilege anyway?
His office appears to being redefined on a daily basis....
sitemonitor1 please check your mail

Executive Privilege? But he’s not part of the Executive branch…
See how easy that works? all he has to do is just 'say' whatever the
hell he wants. If he needs to evoke 'Executive Privilege', he'll say it,
if it's related to something 'Executive', he'll just claim he's not part of it.
either way, he isn't going to be held acountable.
Maybe he'll try to hide in one of his man-sized safes. If he does, somebody please lock it.
First, Executive Priviledge

Everything that goes around, comes around, and if we as ordinary citizens are expected to mind our P's and Q's vis-a-vis the rule of law, that goes for the megalomaniac known as Dick Cheney.
I had to laugh at the "little bastard" comment, but then I had a sobering realization that the child is, in fact, a bastard. Poor kid, can't win. Bastard by law, bastard by genetics.

no new comments? what'x that
Never in American history has there ever a person in govt with so much hunger for power.He makes Nixon look better...not much but a little.....people like this always trip up themselves....he will....and this might be it.Maybe now the dems will do something about this mad power hungry admin.
The poor infant was probably one of those genetically modified DNA experiments
that they do in those deep under ground facilities. Dick boy needs a constant
source of life to suck out.
White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "It's unfortunate that congressional Democrats continue to choose the route of confrontation."
They kindly asked for documents a long time ago, and the WH didn't give it to them... now who the f*ck do you think is being confrontational?!
I'm sure the repugs would have been ok with Gore trying this.....uh hu...yep......sure
"We're aware of the committee's action and will respond appropriately," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
I'm pretty sure that means 'stop by tonight on your way home and we'll have all the documents ready for you'. My interpretation anyway.
mudshark @ 56:
Seriously. At least Nixon founded the EPA... the Bush admin hasn't one god damned thing that is positive.
Funny thing is at one time there would be King This or That or Sir So-And So the Bastard.
T'weren't no insult then. The only way it became one was when established fatherhood became the be all and end all. Unless the kid is put up for adoption, they always know who their mother is.

Good. Keep those supenas and hearings coming.
And why when it looks like we are getting closer to Cheney and the TRUTH...

I would have prefered Cheney get served with several counts of treason, war crimes, etc. but this will do.
Cheney ought to just tell them, uh...that all got shredded by
accident at my house during a shredding party one day.

Publishers Abuzz Over Possible Rumsfeld Book
By GARY SHAPIRO
Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 27, 2007
The publishing world is abuzz over the news that a former defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, may write a memoir justifying the military strategy for the war in Iraq. While a deal has not yet been struck, Mr. Rumsfeld has toured New York publishing houses with an outline of his book in an effort to gauge how much information he would have to disclose in the memoir in order to justify a large cash advance.
A principal for the publicity firm Shirley & Banister, Craig Shirley, said such a book would have a better-than-fair shot of becoming a bestseller if it was properly marketed, well-written, and contained interesting new content. In addition, the publisher of the conservative imprint Regnery, Marji Ross, estimated the former secretary would command at least a six-figure advance. Someone like Mr. Rumsfeld, who has a loyal following and yet sparks a lot of controversy, is good for book sales, she said

Blah blah blah....what-ever... somone let me know when what they are serving up to that bastard is indictments......Articles of impeachment and criminal indictments with cuffs and leg irons and federal marshalls making the delievery are the only things I want to be aware of.. All the rest of the smoke and mirrors??? Fuck all that......Don't care...........JD
Joke's on them. Little do they know that the child was begotten with Colbert's formula 401.
Is it wrong of me to be feeling very cynical and suspicious of this whole subway black out? Just like the special report on Countdown about the "terrorist scares" the timing of this is just a bit too coincidental.
I mean I don't want to believe in conspiracy theories, but they seem to be all there is left to believe in anymore. Sigh.
btw, first post on the new comments section, LOVE the spell check! thanks C&L.
Woo-hoo. Get 'em!!!

Who is the baby's father? Does he have one? Oh no, I forgot, it's father was a turkey baster. God, Grandpa is a mass murderer and Grandma writes lesbian porno. This kid has a GREAT future. Does his head spin all the way around or only 180 degrees when he spews vomit all over his criminal Grandpa and Grandma???
To be fair, the Bible doesn't say anything about a woman lying with a woman as with a man.

Whaddya bet whatever the baby dumps in the diaper smells better than what chainey's done in office?
What if Cheney decided that he wants a son and Lynn couldn't conceive. Mary Cheney was donated Cheney's evil sperms; all in the family. So the couple have a new baby!
How scary!
The book family says it all.
