CASBAH SOAP BOX

En plena campaña electoral, los primos Gerardo y Adrián Werthein trajeron a Bill Clinton para que el matrimonio Kirchner se sacara una foto internacional que no fuera la de siempre, con Hugo Chávez. A las reuniones no fue invitado ningún dirigente opositor. El esposo de la secretaria de Estado de los Estados Unidos tal vez no advirtió que participaba de un acto proselitista; cobró sus 250.000 dólares y se fue sin hacer preguntas.

They don't say if the combo came with or without this intern included:

It probably did!

Cheney Is Ordered to Preserve Records

2008-10-08T06:36:00.000-07:00

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Saturday ordered Dick Cheney to preserve a wide range of records from his time as vice president.
The Bush administration’s legal position “heightens the court’s concern” that some records might not be preserved, Judge Kollar-Kotelly said.
A private group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, is suing Mr. Cheney and the Executive Office of the President to ensure that no presidential records are destroyed or handled in a way that makes them unavailable to the public.
The lawsuit alleges that the Bush administration’s actions over the past seven and a half years raise questions over whether the White House will turn over records created by Mr. Cheney and his staff to the National Archives in January.

"People are saying Scooter Libby is taking the fall for Cheney. Personally, I think Libby got off easy -- usually when you take one for Cheney, it's a shot in the face" --Jay Leno

"Afghanistan reported a record opium crop. I think that explains why Dick Cheney came back from his trip saying, 'Hey, they greeted us with flowers. And they blew my mind'." --Bill Maher

"The big drink at the White House Correspondents' dinner this year is something called the Cheney Shot. Have you all had the Cheney shot? The bartender pours you a shot of Wild Turkey and then throws it in your face." --Jay Leno

"Dick Cheney said he felt terrible about shooting a 78-year-old man, but on the bright side, it did give him a great idea about how to fix Social Security." --Bill Maher

CHENEY: "My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." --March 16, 2003

CHENEY: "Go f*ck yourself." --to Sen. Patrick Leahy, during an angry exchange on the Senate floor about profiteering by Halliburton, June 25, 2004
