TIVO Alert: PBS's Frontline -- <i>Cheney's Law</i>
For three decades, Vice President Dick Cheney has waged a secretive, and often bitter battle to expand the power of the presidency. Now in a direct confrontation with Congress, as the administration asserts executive privilege to head off investigations into domestic wiretapping and the firing of U.S. attorneys, FRONTLINE meticulously traces the behind-closed-doors battle within the administration over the power of the presidency and the rule of law.
Law?
This is gonna be great.
Ohhh...and FRISSST.
Noooo...you stole my Frissst!
Damn you weaseldog...dammmmmn youuuuuuu!

Liberal AND Proud @ 3:
LOL!
PBS has had a lot of great stuff lately
Shouldn't that say "oxymoron alert"?
Frontline is the best show on television, hands down.
What time will it be aired?

Cheney's Law'
Heard about this. Should be good.
Let's play - HOW LOW CAN THEY GO??? Check the current poll numbers against the first batch of numbers that come out after the show - see if they go down again.
We can't watch it (no tv) hope to hear about it through the grapevine.

A long, twilight struggle between Dick Cheney and the forces of evil is the subject of an impressive new Frontline documentary, "Cheney's Law," airing tomorrow on PBS.
They forgot to mention what Cheney and the forces of evil are struggling against.
If I watch it will I have nightmares? I mean more nightmares than he gives me already?

heh, there wasn't the YouTube vid and the link in the post when I posted my last comment. :)
My local PBS station is not running Frontline tonight. Hmm.
Wow, he almost looks like Chuck Cunningham (Ritchie's older brother).
Mugsy @ 17:
Found it on Tuesday. Am I the only one, or is this an alert for tomorrow? No one gave a time/date.
More on Dickheads criminality.
Mugsy @ 19:
Yes, it is an alert for tomorrow.
Looking forward to More well researched and factual journalism.
If anyone knows any family members that are still in denial or those that are still "ignoring the facts" and blindly following bush and cheney "because sean hannity or their pastor told them to"...
.....another frontline event also woke up many people.. months ago.

YIKES!
Thanks for the heads-up. I woulda missed it for sure.
:)
Right frickin' on!!! Glad to see this is being broadcast in some places.
Looking forward to the show.
Cheney is one of the most vile examples of human being in the last century.
I'd happily give up all my worldly possessions to be able to see dick waterboarded for 30 minutes.
Produced by Richard Kirk, who also produced Frontline's
The War Behind Closed Doors,
The Dark Side ,
The Torture Question,
Rumsfeld's War,
The Lost Year in Iraq, and
Endgame
Don't know who's speaking on this clip, but one of them said, 'Dick came out of that committed to restoring the powers of the presidency...'
Excuse me... restoring??
When did any presidency ever have as much or as sweeping powers as THIS one has grabbed? 'Restoring' is a very, very deceptive word. Hope someone calls bullshit on this...
nonny mouse @ 27:
Yeah, I figured he was think of an earlier George that ruled America. The George that was replaced by George Washington.
Funny coincidence, 'cause I just rented and watched Frontline's previous doc on CheneyCo, called The Dark Side...
Nice, looking forward to watching it. We can only hope that Marvin Bush is mentioned...

Americans have been afraid of the wrong enemy. We are in fear of Al Qaeda and other terrorist as well as Iran, Russia, Syria and North Korea. While all along we had the enemy within the United States. We allowed this terrorist to be Vice President. PBS has said this long ago that the real President is Cheney. After listening to Bush we know he's brain has been fired on drugs and yes he's a drunk and uneducated. Makes since that Cheney would pick a dummy to cover his ass. Lot's of dummies were in the White House like Gonzales the only Attorney General who didn't know law, and now needs a real lawyer. Lynn and Dick make a great couple after reading just a little of her book. Talk about messed up people but it does show why we see so many GOP Law Makers who are perverts, child molester and those who hire prostitutes. This group all follow Satan so it makes since. Look for the Journalist to start attacking PBS now that the truth is out about Cheney.

I always wanted to do that.
Whoops, strike Richard and make that Michael Kirk.
Liberal AND Proud @ 14:
Yes! (No TV either)
Cheney should be in prison. I hope I get to see that in my lifetime.
Holy M'F*ckin' SHIT how did _Frontline_ acquire this brainial survellance footage from my deepest nightmares ... the kind I consciously forget upon waking, but that linger in an ambient deep revulsion when I see a Cheney or hear the name?

1987: The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill Moyers
This is the full length 90 min. version of Bill Moyer's 1987 scathing critique of the criminal subterfuge carried out by the Executive ... all » Branch of the United States Government to carry out operations which are clearly contrary to the wishes and values of the American people. The ability to exercise this power with impunity is facilitated by the National Security Act of 1947. The thrust of the exposé is the Iran-Contra arms and drug-running operations which flooded the streets of our nation with crack cocaine. The significance of the documentary is probably greater today in 2007 than it was when it was made. We now have a situation in which these same forces have committed the most egregious terrorist attack on US soil and have declared a fraudulent so-called "War on Terror". The ruling regime in the US who have conducted the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, are now banging the war drum against Iran. We have the PATRIOT act which has stripped us of many of our basic civil rights justified by the terror of 9/11 which is their own doing
Watch it!
Watch out everybody! He's planing on doing what GHWBush did in '88. Let's hope this series can prevent that.
Tricky Dick II has had designs on the top job for decades.

Jon Stewart:
"Welcome, Madam or Mister President, you can do absolutely anything to anyone on Earth, except feed them, heal them, or rebuild their houses - we don't know how to do that anymore..."
What else is there to learn? We already know that at every opportunity he flouts his authority to the maximum possible extent showing contempt for the U.S. Constitution and the citizens of this country. We also know that he is untouchable so long as "off-the-table" Pelosi is in charge of the majority. He should be tried in a court in Iraq and have his sentence carried out in front of live TV cameras. Normally I wouldn't watch something like that but in this case I would make an exception.
ysbaddaden @ 18:
Oooo, watch out. That kind of reference dates you quick. Geritol anyone? (Doh. Do they make Geritol anymore?)
Thanks for highlighting this. I'm looking forward to it.
