"the idea of Cheney trying to restrain oil prices almost made me piss myself with laughter"

Wait until you hear Limbaugh or Hannity promote McCain after the conventions.

"Be interesting to see his tax returns for 2009."

Halliburton in Dubai (presumably free to add Iran to its customers, by the way) may shield income or information from US tax authorities.

Meanwhile, when we hear this from someone like Biden,

"‘fight them over there unless we want to fight them over here.’"

not a single person has a right to complain about Bush offering McCain as "change."

Lol, the idea of Cheney trying to restrain oil prices almost made me piss myself with laughter. He's already making his comfy bed in the private sector after he leaves office, he doesn't care. Be interesting to see his tax returns for 2009.

Cheney is being sent (choosing to go) to the Middle East, but I wonder if it's about oil prices and a desire to constrain them so the voters are less likely to hate “Big Oil” and by implication, the GOP, and vote Democratic this November.

Would such an effort be merited?

I won't hold my breath waiting for those questions to be asked. All I know is somehow we went from hunting Al-queda and “any nation that hides them” in 2001, to giving Pakistan a free pass for 7 years when they are doing just that. They get to shrug their shoulders saying they don't control that area, but at the same time we can't be let in there to do anything. What a racket.
