The good old days


Ah, the good old days, when a corrupt vice president would actually resign.

When Nixon's vice president Spiro Agnew was caught with his fingers in the till, he was forced to resign.

The Justice Department had investigated him for corruption extending back to his days as an official in Maryland. He was charged with taking kickbacks from contractors. He pled no contest to a single charge, was fined, placed on three years' probation and resigned in 1973.

Today we have Cheney, a man who makes Agnew look like a choirboy, but is untouchable because the Republicans are corrupt and the Democrats are unprincipled cowards.

Thoughts on Hilary Clinton:
She's Bush in drag.
