Cheney under oath, this could be fun

[bottomofthehill]

If Darth Cheney actually has the balls to take the stand, what question would you like to ask him under oath?

[bdamomma]

1. no I really don't think he would take the stand

he again would say "hogwash" to it all, I would love to see this guy sweat.

6. I see a medical waver in his future! n/t

2. Does anyone have the power to force him to testify?

Much less make him testify under oath? That is the first question. The second question is: If so, does anyone have the guts to make him testify under oath?

25. CHENEY UNDER OATH

[Mythsaje]

4. I'm just wondering why anyone thinks him being under oath

would be any different than asking him the same questions without being under oath.

He could swear on a stack of bibles and it wouldn't convince me that anything he said was the truth.

However, if he's caught in a lie under oath (we can hope) maybe the same folks who screeched about Clinton doing it might actually catch a clue.

[Rude Horner]

7. I feel the same way

I wouldn't trust a word he says - under oath included. And I've gotten so cynical that even if he was caught lying under oath, I feel that they'd weasel their way out of it anyway. These guys are the teflon administration. Nothin' sticks.

[Mad_Dem_X]

11. I agree

"He could swear on a stack of bibles and it wouldn't convince me that anything he said was the truth."

So true - he has no sense of decency, so he could still be lying his @ss off even if under oath.

18. The old joke

How can you tell when Darth Cheney is lying........... When his lips are moving

[Jack Rabbit]

17. And over at Freeperville, the meme will be

It's not perjury when a Republican does it.

5. I heard he's fleeing the country next week

Probably so he doesn't have to testify, but if that black hearted bastard was under oath I'd ask just who the hell was in that energy meeting for starters.

[malaise]

8. Will he ever come back??? n/t

[catmandu57]

14. I'm thinking he's going to do a kenny boy

while he's gone, then maybe head on down to Paraguay to beat the rush.

[malaise]

16. He may be disappeared

and Bushie can blame the Iranians.

9. The Fact He's Being Called Ain't Good For Scooter

Looks like the defense is shifting from blaming Rove to possibly trying to throw his old boss under the bus. :popcorn:

What I am not connecting with here is how Cheney's testimony helps in the overall defense? How does he verify that Scooter has a shit-for-brain memory? Will we get a Perry Mason moment of crashcart admitting in open court that he was the one behind all of this? Only in my dreams.

The only thing I see cheney can add to Scooter's defense without purjuring himself (which he'd do and not think twice about it...he'll dare Fitz to cite him for contempt and perjury) is demonstrating how he rolled all the reporters and make them look like the pathetic weasels we know they are. I don't see what else he can offer.

I sure will look forward to the cross examination...

:popcorn:

19. We need Paul Drake to go to Bakersfield

or the Manzinta valley. I'd love to see Perry roast his rotten hide.

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. He will just lie like he always does. That man wouldn't know the truth if

it hit him in the head.

[madokie]

12. where are you going to be putting the keys muther f'ker

[misternormal]

13. He won't testify...

He will hide, like they all have, behind some executive privilege, or some other b******t.

[TahitiNut]

15. I'd pursue a line of questioning that examined how long he's been aware of the CPD

... inside the CIA and their role in monitoring trade in WMD in the Middle East and South Asia. I'd go back and build a basis for examining his knowledge of the existence of Plame and BJ&A going back at least to the AQ Khan exposure.

I'm betting Cheney has known about Plame for many YEARS.

[spanone]

21. Cheney has no respect for being 'under oath'.

[marlakay]

22. He can't testify because he can't tell the truth

it will be interesting to see what happens. I think thats why Rove isn't testifying he's too important to them to expose.

We all know no one will see any prison from this, Bush will pardon who ever goes down but its great to see them exposed for their lies.

[leftofthedial]

23. a) he won't take the stand

b) he'll lie, oath or not
