The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week’s blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
As the reputed architect of the war in Iraq, Cheney is viewed as toxic, and as the administration’s leading proponent of an attack on Iran, he is seen as dangerous. As long as he remains vice president, according to this thinking, he has the potential to drag down every member of the party — including the presidential nominee — in next year’s elections.
Time to kick CRIMINAL PARTISAN BUTT, and get on a truely unified path offering ALL GOOD PEOPLE of both parties the direction of coming to their senses!
How about a presidential order compelling him to go hunting with himself?
But everyone’s forgetting the most important consideration here, re: someone to replace Cheney – who does KKKarl want?
I find it interesting, that NBC, WaPo, and AP are running stories exposing Bushco…but guess what? Too little, too late…we’ve all made the switch from the CMSM and are never trusting them again and never going back to the “Ministry of Corporate Propaganda”…
These are just a few “bones” thrown to us, so we can say STUPID THINGS like, “Hey! It looks like the CMSM is finally doing their job!”
Let the YouTube Impeach Cheney campaign begin. Lets flood the system with calls for his removal.
He is an American traitor and needs to be treated as such!
Don’t get me wrong; when they WANT TO, the CMSM is the BEST b/c they have the $$$ and the resources. But, I’d like to see them defend the stories they are NOT covering, not defending ONE good story they should be doing anyway.
But, they will point to ONE good story, and say, “See? We are doing our job!”
What about the other 99 important stories for every ONE you cover?

One of DN!’s headlines today is:
Insurance Industry Prepares Counteroffensive Against Moore’s Sicko
Meanwhile the New York Sun is reporting the insurance and pharmaceutical industries are readying a multifaceted counteroffensive against Michael Moore’s new film Sicko. Several think tanks and front groups are being bankrolled to attack Moore’s critique of the health care industry. According to the Sun, the groups involved in the campaign include the CATO Institute; the Manhattan Institute; the Galen Institute, Pacific Research Institute; the Heritage Foundation and FreedomWorks, which is run by Former House Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey.
The CMSM cannot run this story, because THEY DIDN’T TELL US ABOUT THE MOVIE SICKO IN THE FIRST PLACE! SO HOW CAN THEY RUN A STORY “HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY PLANS COUNTEROFFENSIVE AGAINST ‘SICKO'”???
DN! had on Michael Moore TWICE now, in extensive interviews and coverage, just in the last week or so!
Can anyone chime in here, and tell me if Michael Moore and/or SICKO has been extensively covered by ANBCBSNNX?
I’m not talking about commercials for the movie, I’m talking CMSM extensive news coverage on one of the biggest most important issues and movies of our time.
Is anyone tracking this? vs. coverage of Paris Hilton?
I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Paris Hilton for prez in 08.
Hey we need someone clueless in the whitehouse so big business can get their way. Oh wait she’s not old enough yet.
Has anyone noticed that most republicans who hate Moore and love Bush actually don’t pay attention to politics. Almost all of my republican neighbors are to busy golfing, skiing, or smoking their cigars to do any real research on the issues. When pressed about them they shrug and say I don’t know anything about that or I’m not following that.
As long as their news organizations can drop biased bombs then it is ok right. Prozac and O Reilley make a great combo. That is why shitty news gets away with being, well Shitty. Reich Wingers don’t research b4 throwing a zinger.
Someone should start a blog “Michael Moore/SICKO CMSM coverage (important) vs. Paris Hilton CMSM coverage”…
FAIR, are you reading this???
The ironic twist to the health insurance industry pulling a media counter-offensive to SICKO, is that since the CMSM has not COVERED Sicko, people might just say, “What’s ‘SICKO’???” and go research it. They actually DO find a way to shoot themselves in the foot a lot, don’t they?
“This article is bashing SICKO…what is SICKO? I should go see it, to see what this is all about…”
I would love to agree with you B Dan, but Moore has the turn off feature tagged onto his brand. It is to easy for sheep to hear his name and and then instantly discount what the message was. You can lead a horse to water…….
Didn’t you get the memo? MOORE HATES AMERICA, (bought to you by the corporation of your choice) pills pills pills pills pills pills, whats research? Everyone knows that Moore distorts the facts, end of story. The person who thinks for me told me so. So, no reason to see the film.
Can’t wait for “Michael Moore Hates America 2” the extra hate version.

I think Chainey did that research you are talking about. In so doing he did not look deep enough into the dictionary to find out what vice means.
He stopped after reading the first definition:
(Dictionary). Even if he went on to read other definitions of the word, does anyone think he could convince reasonable people that a vice admiral is not a member of the Navy?
