News briefs – Cheney costs country 3 mil and Clinton lies again

Hillary’s turn to lie

I guess Bill is taking a break. Hillary Clinton says Barack Obama doesn’t want the primary process to play out, just a couple of days after Obama clearly said the opposite.

Uncle Fester cost us $2.6 million

Along with Scooter Libby, David Addington, and assorted others from the Office of the Vice President’s rogues’ gallery, with the Preznit’s acquiescence. That is the cost of investigating the Valerie Plame leak. Too bad Scooter didn’t get a $2.6 million bill as part of his sentence.

Too bad the Preznit thought his original two and a half year sentence and $250K fine was excessive.

Update: This originally said “billion” instead of “million” in all occurrences. My error.

Of course, we know Uncle Fester has actually cost us about $3 trillion on the Iraq War, per Joseph Stigletz.
