I want to hear Cheney tell Fitzgerald that he 'fundamentally disagrees with his question'.

[spanone]

I imagine that that will be a fundamentally unacceptable answer to the prosecutor.


Contempt of Court. Jail time.

[saltpoint]

1. Me too. Even better, I'd like to hear Fitz tell Uncle Dick that he

either comes clean or he'll throw his ass in the slammer.

[bear425]

2. Patrick Fitzgerald. Common error. But, your wish is a good one! n/t

[spanone]

5. thanks. corrected

[MADem]

3. I'd like to see the tool use his two favorites: "You've crossed the LINE"

(said in threatening fashion) and of course, the quintessential favorite from the Senate floor: "Go fuck yourself!"

:rofl:

[goforit]

12. LOL!!! And I only hope Fitz doesn't get knocked out by a garage door.

[kenny blankenship]

4. Hopefully fundamentally unacceptable to the presiding judge

but you know there will be an appeal
and then it goes to appellate
thence to the Supreme Court, where in a 5 to 4 split decision along partisan lines....

[WhiteTara]

6. I want to see the dick tell a bald faced lie

and Fitzgerald then gets to prosecute him for lying AND being a traitor

[tridim]

7. Why do so many mistakenly call Fitzgerald Fitzpatrick?

It happens way too often to be a coincidence, I've heard several pundits and MSM reporters do the same thing.

I know you didn't do it on purpose, but who were you thinking of?

[spanone]

8. I was thinking of the prosecutor in the Valerie Plame case. Fitzhisname.

[midnight]

19. Maybe it's a subconscious method of shorthand. You know

combining first name Patrick with last name Fitzgerald. You get Fitzpatrick.

[spanone]

20. Sometimes I type quicker than I think. Or a Fitz by any other name....

[cassiepriam]

27. All those Irish people look alike :) nt

[TahitiNut]

31. "Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick" ...

... is the punchline of an old, old "joke." :shrug:

[xultar]

9. Can Fitz then say...then how would you feel about my boot fundamentally placed up your ass?

[spooky3]

25. LOL!

I wonder how little Wolfie Blitzer felt after he reviewed the tapes of that pathetic interview. It would be nice to see him get ticked off at himself and decide it is high time to start behaving as a real journalist and challenge that kind of BS.

[xultar]

29. He has a rented spine. They all do. They'll never know the damage they do

by bowing to the BFEE.

[southern_belle]

10. Yup! get out the popcorn!

:popcorn: :rofl:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. I cannot answer on the grounds that

it involves national scrutiny, therefore ask another question.

[wryter2000]

13. ROFL

Maybe he can tell Fitz that his question is out of line. :rofl:

[K8-EEE]

15. YEAH! YOU'RE OUTTA LINE WITH THAT QUESTION

HAHAHAHAHA!

[CatWoman]

14. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good one, Span!!! :rofl:

[stevedeshazer]

16. Nice

I could not agree more.

[midnight]

17. Spanone I always come here looking for some inspiration that

sanity will prevail, that leadership will be responsible, fair, and balanced. I have been waiting so long. But it gives me a sense of levity to read posts here at D.U. because you folks are awake. Can you imagine responding with comments like "fundamentally disagrees with his question" . That is a good one. Thanks for the thought.

[spanone]

18. God, let's hope sanity prevails, I question that everyday. But look at the recent vote!!!!!

Plus, we get the bonus of 'seeing' the arrogance of a Cheney or Bush*.

[Rosemary2205]

21. LOL :) nt

[Olney Blue]

22. Now that the trial has revealed how much Cheney wants to control

the message...it will be delicious to see him forced to answer "uncomfortable" questions without attacking the questioner.

[sandrakae]

23. You and I want to see the Judge tell, him you are in comtempt

of court and your ass is going to jail for the night.

[spanone]

24. I'm suspicious that a conflict with Iran might mitigate his ability to be a participant.

I fear a conflict with Iran may give Cheney's lawyers a 'national security' issue.

The Vice is needed in the war room therefore can't participate in your minor 'lie' quibbles.

This man has real work to do.

Wonder what the precedent would be????

Mind you, that I personally put NOTHING PAST THESE CRIMINALS.

[cassiepriam]

26. Or tell Fitz: HOGWASH!

[jasmeel]

28. Fitz could actually hold Dick's feet to the fire- gives me goosebumps!

[H2O Man]

30. It will be fascinating.

It's interesting to consider where any discussions will take place. It seems unlikely that Cheney would agree to appear 'live" in court, and take the witness stand. It is possible that he will hope to testify from an, uh, "undisclosed location," with Team Libby questioning him, and Mr. Fitzgerald doing cross. Judge Walton would need to be present, it seems. Perhaps they will empty the court, and do it that way.

Even people who used to know and like Cheney, and who viewed him as a moderately conservative republican, now recognize that he has been transformed by the past six years. He will not have an easy time answering Mr. Fitzgerald's questions, nor is he likely to be comfortable with Judge Walton's instructions.

One one hand, I find this delightful -- there has to be consequences for the terrible crimes that Cheney and Libby (among others) have participated in. On the other hand, I think it is sad that our country had reached a point where Dick Cheney could commit those crimes, and that thousands of human beings would die before anyone intervened.

[lala_rawraw]

32. Fitzpatrick who?

[lala_rawraw]

33. nvm... i read the title wrong, me

[knight_of_the_star]

34. Objection, witness being non-responsive

He would get so nailed for that.

[Rex]

35. Just post when that day comes because I will DVR it for future records.

And FOR ZODS SAKE someone make sure the guy SWEARS UNDER OATH. I don't want none of that shit Congress let him get away with. No sitting down for a private meeting. Get that lying piece of shit on the stand!


"Try it, I told Congress to fuck off and I'll tell you too!"
