Huffington Post: Cheney Travels Far, Far Away While Libby Jury Deliberates

[PhilipShore]

Vice President Cheney sure is active on the international travel circuit all of a sudden.

First, there was a trip to Japan -- allegedly to thank Japan for its support of America's war on terror -- though he did all he could to avoid actually meeting Japan's Minister of Defense because of Defense Minister Kyuma's candid comments that the war was wrong-headed.

Now, Cheney has made a surprise trip to Pakistan. I'm sure that Cheney's presence in Islamabad is a huge help in bolstering President Musharraf and helping shore up support for the Pakistani government and its president against growing influence of the Taliban and al Qaeda in the mountainous regions of Pakistan. Not.

And what is happening at home while Cheney is traveling?

2. Maybe Transylvania is next

He might be running out of unhallowed dirt for lining the bottom of his bunker-crypt.

3. Alibi!

He needed to be out of the country while they tainted the jury
He need to make sure he was seen on camera as far away as possible when the incident happened with the exposure of the juror to information that lead to her dismissal.

4. Nixon went to Moscow

Probably most people forget that in the course of the Watergate investigation Nixon went to Moscow for headlines and also mysteriously developed "phlebitis" for sympathy. Gee, wonder if Cheney's due for another stent?

5. Kind of reminds me of the movie "departed" and I haven't seen even a preview yet. Good riddens

anyway!

6. Maybe he's afraid Scooter will burp and they'll issue a warrant for

Cheney's arrest

7. Is Cheney packing his shotgun

to bolster Musharraf when he goes after al Qaeda and Taliban? Will Cheney and Musharraf be hunting al Qaeda in the mountainous regions of Pakistan or have some of them already been captured and fenced in on game farms? Inquiring minds....:spank:
