Your search - "cheney admitted to leaking" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

C'mon 84 surely Cheney leaked something- anything- to the NYT you can directly link us to, right?

Right?

Maybe ummm...the contents of Bush's Ipod? Condeleeza's shoe size???.....tomorrow's school lunch menu?

Another social experiment? I'm done wasting my time.

and don't be affeared of downloading a few MTP transcripts.

when I was taking chemistry and was stuck on an answer, I'd go to the back of the book. "Oh, that's easy." and then I'd run a few equations and it was all good.

then the test came. oh my, the professor changed around a few things, added new ones, etc. Didn't do so well.

to learn you have to do your own investigation, figure things out a little, relearn critical thought. every time someone here takes you by the hand and spells things out, we just get a big "nah ahhhhhh". kinda boring after awhile.

I mean when Rick can't even see the || between the two scenarios, never mind if either were true, it gets lame.

Shaun,

It's not asking too much to request you at least vaguely back up your claims. But I can see how not doing so would make life easier

That's my point Joel. it doesn't matter if I back up my claims. it's so tiring laying down sound arguments and you just get "nah ahhhh" at the end of the day.

you've been doing what now?

must've missed it.

Let me get this straight 84- you make an assertion you can't prove- and then feign insult and lassitude with those who can't find any proof or challenge your assertion? You direct them to a search engine and call them idiots when they can't find the proof you say is out there?

You're even less credible than Gunga Dan. Which is to say your assertions are worthless. I'm being polite.

He won't even tell us what it is he's talking about.

With all due respect, that's a load of ****.

Back to work.

Shaun @ Tru6 · 10:48 AM

you guys are lazy and can't use search engines for *****.

Aluminum tubes.

btw, I was wrong. Cheney leaked a false story to the Times, it was printed, THEN HE CONFIRMED THE LEAK ON TV GIVING IT CREDIBILITY, then he said the leak was false on TV.

Sorry for leaving that middle part out.

Do you take cream and sugar with your cup of STFU?

Rick Lee · Rick Lee's Garage

Yeah, Cheney is the first one I ever heard talk about the aluminum tubes. Get real. That story was around long before Cheney was VP. The media had plenty of time to vett that.

Shaun @ Tru6 · 09-28-2007, 11:05 AM

I rest my case.

Rearden · 09-28-2007, 11:18 AM

You are saying Cheney "leaked" that story?

cairns · 09-28-2007, 11:18 AM

No I think we have rested ours.....

You have proved nothing.....and you have done nothing except hurl insults at everyone who questions your assertion.

Logical argument, respectful differences and plain old honesty is evidently not in your skill set...

Courage.

is this your way of intellectualizing "nah ahhhh"? Sounds like a lot of shuck and jive.

pffft. just pull your panties out and go home.

Red Baron · 09-28-2007, 11:26 AM

Same amount of class as Belicheat...

lendaddy · 09-28-2007, 11:38 AM

If we gift you all that...

There is no admission and certainly no proof Cheney knew the story was false. Therefore there is no correlation at all to the example you cited inferring that Cheney knowingly leaked a false story so he could later call the media on it. Not even close. There's no "setup" in your example at all...it's not even claimed.
