The Media vs. Dick Cheney
First, the editors of Time put Vice President Dick Cheney (R) on their cover, showing to be quite literally under a dark cloud. This, of course, was followed by almost all of the Sunday morning talk shows commenting on to what extent, if any, Mr. Cheney was a political liablity to President George W. Bush (R).
One pundit after another has argued that Mr. Cheney should either resign or else be fired or impeached for his role in the Iraq War and the Valerie Plame affair.
Even the editors of GQ, which usually devote its pages to matters of fashion and style, have called for Mr. Cheney's impeachment in their March 2007 issue. They even went so far as to include a draft of articles of impeachment, which the U.S. Congress could use if they decided to do so.
With all of this afoot, can their be any reason why Haliburton - the largest benefactor of Mr. Cheney's presence in the Bush Administration - has decided to the leave the United States?
