ALL IN ALL, IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY

News briefs that will tickle the soul of any fellow liberal.....
These scandals just will not go away, nor should they....

• Dennis Kucinich is launching an effort to impeach VP Cheney on charges that he had “purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens of the United States” about a potential threat of Iraqi chemical, biological and nuclear weapons during the Saddam Hussein era and has “openly threatened aggression” against Iran. Asked why Cheney and not Bush, Kucinich very wisely stated, "if we impeach Bush, then we would have Cheney as President."
• Mark Zacarias was the 11th person to be convicted in the Justice Department probe as he admitted engaging in official acts on Abramoff's behalf while working for Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, who chaired the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
• A federal intelligence unit has announced it has begun an investigation into illegal political activity by an office under Karl Rove for violations to the Hatch Act, which bars federal employees engaging in political activities using government resources on the governments time. "We're in the preliminary stages of opening this expanded investigation," Loren Smith, a spokesman for the special counsel's office, an independent investigative and prosecutorial agency, said Tuesday. "The recent suggestion of illegal political activities across the executive branch was the basis we used to decide that it was important to look into possible violations of the Hatch Act." The complaint was filed after hearing of a presentation by Rove's aide J. Scott Jennings to the General Services Administration on how the political appointees could help GOP candidates in 2008. The presentation materials used alledgedly bore the White House seal.
• A White House counsel has announced that Karl Rove unintentionally deleted the missing e-mails which could give the Senate a clearer picture as to the involvement of the White House in the scandal involving the eight fired federal prosecutors. Rove has stated he thought the e-mails were being archived in accordance to the law. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) has announced he will subpeona the White House e-mails, with the obvious exception of those accidentally deleted from the server.
