What Cheney bribery investigation?

Well, as a regular listener to Democracy Now, Free Speech Radio News and the like on WMNF, I already knew that an official within the French government has initiated an investigation of "allegations that Halliburton, subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root, and a French company together paid $180 million in illegal commissions to government officials during the construction of a natural gas complex in Nigeria" during the time in which it was headed by Dick Cheney. I didn't expect to hear about it in the mainstream press, but apparently only 11 of Top 12 US Papers are Ignoring Cheney's Pending Bribery Investigation.

The odd paper out? The Dallas Morning News. Who'da thunk it. A Texas paper breaks the silence. Hm.

(Keeping track? This was number 181 on the list.)

And now the White House is apparently embarking on a makeover campaign to make Cheney appear cuddly just in time for the 2004 Presidential race.

Not a prayer that the Prince of Darkness can be transformed into a kinder, gentler huggie bear. No doubtthe pupet masters, Karl Rove and Donald Rumsfeld are hard at work on the makeover. And after all, they convinced an awful lot of Americans that we needed a unilateral war in Iraq.
