JUST KEEP SAYING, 'IT'S ONLY A MOVIE . . . IT'S ONLY A MOVIE'



In this version, the only "number 2" is the viscous, stenchy stream of excrement pouring forth from that chronically sneered snout, demanding the flexibility to "not torture" because "we don't torture(but some of our clients might do it for us, when we ask and pay them for it);" or that vile ooze that continuously blurs the connection between Al-Qaida and Saddam.

But, alas, it ain't a movie. This is the Vice President. The Five deferment guy. Captain "other priorities" now pushing a new generation of young Americans into the way of harm he so diligently avoided for himself. A man who loudly decries any remaining ties to Halliburton and its fiscally engorged subsidiaries, yet who sits on tens of thousands of options to buy Halliburton stock at a fixed price substantially lower than its current DJ value. In EVERY other level of government, the existence of this fact, coupled with the no-bid nature of work that has flowed in Halliburton's direction since 9/11 - much at the direction and guidance of the VP, would amount to a textbook conflict of interest. Then again, so would duck hunting with the most extreme (and ideologically friendly) justice on the Supreme Court at a time when you had a case pending in front of the whole court.

This VICE president is not ethically challenged. He seems to have undergone an ethicoectomy. They've been surgically removed. No scrupes. Just the cash, ma'am, small bills in big bags. Purely concerned with his own enrichment, forsaking all others in an uber-Patriotic ruse. Our President/Emperor may be unconscious of his nakedness, but VICE is just a thief, pure and simple
