[QUOTE=alphaboi867] I though the prosecutor and defence counsel were the only ones who could actually object in court. [/QUOTE] Shrug, whoever. I’m just saying he will take steps to make sure the questions don’t stray into territory he doesn’t like. > [@](#): > > Cheney could try to get the subpoena quashed though. Oh, of course, I was just assuming he doesn’t or fail to. He has said in the past he will ignore subpoenas. ---

My guess, and this isn’t an original guess, is that the testimony is going to be handed in via pre-recorded video. Perhaps it will be on DVD. If we’re lucky, it’ll get leaked onto the Internet. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] 😃 [Excellent cartoon!](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/opinions/cartoonsandvideos/toles_main.html?name=Toles&date=12212006) [/QUOTE] Ah, I love Tom Toles. I had a book of his cartoons when I was little. I didn’t know a lot about what was going on, so I had to seek out the subjects of the cartoons and figure some things out. ---

[QUOTE=Don26] So, Hero of the Left, Bill Clinton, wasn’t credible? [/QUOTE] You can always tell when a Bushivik doesn’t have an argument, because they change the subject by reaching into their mental steamer trunk to haul out the ghost of administrations past. ---

[QUOTE=Don26] So, Hero of the Left, Bill Clinton, wasn’t credible? [/QUOTE] :rolleyes: If you think that neolib, corporate-owned, pro-NAFTA, false-flag DLC-DINO Clinton was a “Hero of the Left,” you are looking at the left side of the American political spectrum through the wrong end of a telescope. ---
