Run, don’t walk, over there and read the entire thing, kids! There is so, so much more. The charges and accusations are all spelled out. It’s a fascinating read.
I think you featured Cheney in yellow before. It “suits” him (get it?).
Mr. I-Hide-in-Bunkers-and-Behind-Executive-Privilege.
I wish this list would be at top of the TV and radio news, on the front page of every newspaper, pushed onto every web site, and blinking from the Goodyear blimp!
This is great stuff, nonnie! Kudos for the title, too, and the new “signature” on the poster.
originally, i was going to have chimpy in the banana yellow, but then thought that since cheney is the real boss, he should be in the middle. you are right, yellow does fit deadeye dick.
you noticed the sig! 😆 i usually use the same one all the time, but lately, i have been trying out new ones every once in a while. the title came to me surprisingly quickly and easily this time. it just seemed to fit.
Great one, Nonnie! (as usual)
You could add CIA Torture Tape destruction to Jose Rodriguez’ rap sheet, IIRC.
thanks wc4d! 😀
you do remember correctly. this is slate‘s list, not mine. i included jose in the tape destruction in a previous poster.
Wait, Cheney’s not implicated in shooting a hunting buddy in the face while intoxicated?
jeb,
he was on the list for shooting a guy in the face, but he shot the investigator who put him on the list for that in the face.
So? (snarl)
😆
