Spiro Agnew II: Electric Bugaloo!!!

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4799.shtml

Vice President Dick Cheney faces criminal indictments for illegal activities while CEO of energy giant Halliburton and also illegally intervened to secure a $7 billion no-bid contract for his former employer after his election to office, an analysis by the White House counsel’s office concludes.

The Vice President is currently under investigation by French authorities for bribery, money laundering and misuse of corporate assets while at Halliburton and also faces a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission probe of a $180 million "slush fund" that may have been used to pay bribes.

Hot damn! Unfortunately, Cheney's first and last names don't make an anagram for "Grow a Penis" like the last evil, crooked bastard Republican VP to resign under allegations of bribery and wrongdoing, but this makes for some entertaining theatre nonetheless. I wonder what W thinks?

According to White House sources, President George W. Bush laughed the matter off at a recent cabinet meeting.

“Fuck ‘em all,” Bush said.

The President’s bravado, however, is not shared by worried White House aides. Some point to the last vice president to step down because of fraud and corruption – Spiro T. Agnew, who served under President Richard M. Nixon, another Republican forced to leave office because of scandal.

It's compassionate conservatism in action! Thoughts, spin, etc?

As bad as those two are, at least they didn't/won't become president like VP Lyndon Johnson. :p
