Congress debates defunding Cheney.

Congress debates defunding Cheney.
Earlier today the House debated Rep. Rahm Emanuel’s (D-IL) amendment to restrict the $4.75 million budget for the Vice President’s Office. On the House floor, Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) sarcastically jabbed Cheney for violating “a number of rules, maxims, constitutional provisions,” while Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) argued that holding the vice president accountable would somehow “undercut the very underpinnings of the Constitution.” Watch both clips:
[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/06/CheneyVote.320.240.flv]
A vote on the amendment was postponed until later.
UPDATE: Rep. Ralph Regula (R-OH): “Of course you’re going to abolish the residence, and I assume you’re going to get a Katrina trailer to provide for the vice president.”
UPDATE II: TPMMuckraker has video of Emanuel.

Issa – once again demonstrating that Conservatives don’t undertsand the foundations of our country or the documents on which this foundation is placed. Nice job.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:31 pmUnfortunately Cheney caved in, so there’s not going to be any defunding.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:33 pmThe founding fathers would cry from grief if they found out what Repukelikans had done to their country.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:33 pm#3 Cry? No. March to DC and burn it down to cynders? Yes.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:35 pmDemocrats are trying to hold America together. After Bush divided it and Cheney crapped on it. Jeesh all those Republican-only “Town Hall” meetings. God help us let’s end this.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:35 pmIssa is a crook, plain and simple.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:37 pm“Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) argued that holding the vice president accountable would somehow “undercut the very underpinnings of the Constitution.—
Something that Cheney knows all about!!!
June 28th, 2007 at 2:37 pmThe doundation of our country gets in the way of republicans business. These people are the SCUM of the earth, they HATE america and what it really stands for.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:38 pmTo quote a good Republican, while Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) argued that holding the vice president accountable would somehow “undercut the very underpinnings of the Constitution.â€
Oh, I guess Darrell is referring to the new improved 21st century U. S. Constitution, which has King Cheney and his Queen Bush floating in some fascist ether, high above the Executive branch of government, high above the rule of law, high above everything.
Bizzarro-world comes to the U. S. of A and the Royal Corporate Media pays it no mind.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:38 pmI’m ashamed that the people of this country can elect such utter fatheads to Congress.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:38 pmWhen will loyalty to the country, to its principles, and to its founding documents, trump that of loyalty to the administration?
I always thought that defending the checks and balances of this country was a conservative view ….
Is it any wonder that the neocons are tearing their party apart?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:38 pmoops!! Foundation.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:38 pmWow, Rep. Issa, if you’re so ashamed to be part of a chamber that expects all elected officials to be accountable before the law, perhaps you should resign your office. Now.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:39 pm“Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) argued that holding the vice president accountable would somehow “undercut the very underpinnings of the Constitution.—
Actually, it would over-turn a long-established rule of how Republicans act. They are not accountable for anything they do, or so their actions would indicate.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:39 pmHoly Crap, its Barney Frank!!! Did they let him out of jail already? So short a stay for running a gay prostitute ring out of his house. He must have very solid lawyers indeed!
June 28th, 2007 at 2:40 pmThat Republican who followed Barney Frank in the video should be ashamed to defend a criminal like Cheney.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:40 pmRoger_roger – too chickens**t to present any factual infromation again I see. Why not try out that self-lobotomy kit you’ve been thinking of lately?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:42 pmGlad to see Emanuel is focused on really important stuff and not political back-biting.
Could these Dems be lost in the woods any further? They actually think that “hate Bush & Cheney” is a platform.
I’m happy though — at least the Dems are continuing to keep their own approval ratings low!
June 28th, 2007 at 2:43 pmIf Hate Bush and Cheney is a platform, sign me up!
One vote for hating these bastards that are tearing our country down and taking us back 70 years in time (which is what the conservatives want).
Who ever thought I’d be living Les Miserables? Well, folks…looks like it’s getting to be barricade time.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:46 pmHoly Crap, its Barney Frank!!! Did they let him out of jail already? So short a stay for running a gay prostitute ring out of his house. He must have very solid lawyers indeed!
Comment by Roger_Roger
Weak, weak lies.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:46 pmIssa is so backward in his thinking that his electorate should reconsider his position. Thank goodness he is only in Congress for a two-year term so the reconsideration is not far away. It is purely reprehensible to have any U.S. elected official (Cheney, as a hanger on only) deemed above the Constitution.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pmHate Bush and Cheney won them Congress, CI. Every time they stand up to them, their number rise.
It’s only when the compromise with the Utterly Rejected Party that their numbers drop.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pmRawstory quoted this:
Rep. Ralph Regula (R-OH):”Of course you’re going to abolish the residence, and I assume you’re going to get a Katrina trailer to provide for the vice president since we historically have provided housing, and you don’t offer any substitute for the existing residence”
Yeah, stick Cheney in a Katrina trailer.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pmLMAO
RAW GRAB FOR POWER?!
What nerve, that guy Issa! Obviously, it’s the Bush White House and the Fourth Branch of Cheney who are putting themselves above the law and outside American principles, with warrantless wiretapping, with secret prisons, torture…and an endless supplies of lies about these and other criminal actions.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:47 pmYou should know a fraction of what Bartlebee knows and have half the capacity to be able to use what you know.
What a f*cking moron you are. You cheer the destruction of your country. I certainly hope that you reap what you are sowing.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:48 pmYou have to go easy on Roger_Roger.
As a Republican, he has very little familiarity with politicians who are accused of crimes but then turn out to be innocent.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:49 pmEmanuel is a shill who is not willing to impeach Cheney but instead wants to punish him. This is simple the other day…
Emanuel : Bla bla bla
TV : Are you going to look for impeachment?
Emanuel : No but bla bla bla…….
If Cheney committed a high crime or misdemeanor the only possible solution is IMPEACHMENT!

June 28th, 2007 at 2:49 pm#26. brilliant.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:51 pmI think it’s catchy that they’re debating this, but even if this passes the Senate, the President would probably still have his veto-pen useful.
We’ll see how this debate goes, however. They might be onto something.
Hello, Zoeey!
June 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Frank
“In the fall of 1989, Frank acknowledged his sexual involvement with Stephen Gobie, a man he met through a personal ad where Gobie described himself as “exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time”. Frank apologized and defended himself by likening his actions to Henry Higgins, claiming his intention was to reform Gobie, who was running a prostitution ring out of Frank’s apartment, and transform him into a productive member of society…”
June 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmAnd he went to jail for this when?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:54 pmOh that’s right he didn’t go to jail. That’s mentioned above because you guys have to make stuff up. I get it now.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:56 pmI’d impeach every Senator, Congressman and member of the Executive Branch who violates his oath of office “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution”. That would be more than half the officeholders in the Federal Government. They need to be removed.
ALL of our unalienable rights must be restored, and anyone who doesn’t use every effort to fight for them doesn’t belong in government; and those in government who violate the unalienable rights of WE THE PEOPLE should be in jail. This includes a majority on the SCOTUS.
June 28th, 2007 at 2:56 pmDo you think there could be a Constitutional scholar made available to Issa and other Repugs who don’t have an understanding of the foundation for our government?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:56 pmThese guys are making me laugh – from Bush to Addington and Cheney, and Stevens, Inhofe and now Issa, their idea of democracy and government illustrates their shallow grasp of the Constitution, and makes fodder for late night comedians.
Comment by yep
He was a “he said, he said” story, yep. Gobie claimed that Barney Frank knew about the prostitution, and Frank said he booted Gobie out as soon as he found out. Even Gobie doesn’t deny being booted.
So what?
June 28th, 2007 at 2:58 pmOh, what was the story he gave again? His gay partner was a prostitute but Frank didn’t know. Something like that. How can this disgrace of a man honestly think we would believe that junk?
June 28th, 2007 at 3:00 pmIssa should be pummeled with rocks…end of story
June 28th, 2007 at 3:00 pmYou should know a fraction of what Bartlebee knows and have half the capacity to be able to use what you know.
What a f*cking moron you are. You cheer the destruction of your country. I certainly hope that you reap what you are sowing.
Comment by MsJoanne — June 28, 2007 @ 2:48 pm
I will assume you were talking to me? You need to copy the tag that you are replying to and include it in your post so that it is possible to tell who you are addressing. This is an important post by the way and I could have missed it. Now MsJoanne, unlike you I happen to be intelligent, smart and freedom loving. I’m sure BARTELBOY is capable of defending itself! That being said, I cheered nothing. BARTELBOY was wrong in supporting this notion that the VP could be defunded. He was also wrong when he lumped me in with the government and claimed that my call for a national strike was in some way unlawful. If you agree with that fool then you deserve what you get. PROTEST is covered in the 1st Amendment and you can in fact protest at home if you want! Funny, today the reporters walked out and by what BARTELBULL stated they should be hung as traitors! GFY you goat!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:01 pmHe was a “he said, he said†story, yep. Gobie claimed that Barney Frank knew about the prostitution, and Frank said he booted Gobie out as soon as he found out. Even Gobie doesn’t deny being booted.
So what?

I’m sure you would say the same thing if it were a republican in Frank’s position.

Comment by Rusty
So they only test is if somebody goes to jail, I will remember that next time I see you comment on a republican scandal. I really can’t believe the hypocrisy that goes on here. It is amazing.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:04 pmOh, what was the story he gave again? His gay partner was a prostitute but Frank didn’t know. Something like that. How can this disgrace of a man honestly think we would believe that junk?
Comment by Roger_Roger
Still making it up as you go, Roger? Barney Frank never denied knowing that Gobie was a prostitute. In fact, being an honest person, he admitted that he’d paid Gobie for sex.
You claimed that Barney Frank was running a prostitution ring out of apartment and you inferred he had been convicted of such. Both are lies, which is pretty typical. Not even Gobie claimed that Frank was running a prostitution ring. If you’re going to drag out old scandals in order to deflect attention from your ball-washing of Cheney, at least try and get the claims correct.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:05 pmI’m sure you would say the same thing if it were a republican in Frank’s position.
Comment by yep
Unlike yourself, I like to limit myself to actual facts. The facts are that no one accused Frank of running a prostitution ring, that Frank admitted paying Gobie for sex, and that Frank kicked him out. The rest is speculation.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:07 pm#15 – “Did they let him out of jail already? So short a stay for running a gay prostitute ring out of his house. He must have very solid lawyers indeed!” Comment by Roger_Roger — June 28, 2007 @ 2:40 pm
By that logic, Pres. Bush should be arrested for Rep. Foley’s inappropriate contacts with under-aged staffers.
It’s well known that Rep. Frank did not know what was going on by his roommates. With as much time as Rep. Frank spent away from his DC home, it’s surprising he would actually need one!
June 28th, 2007 at 3:12 pmUm this post was originally about Congress voting to defund Cheney for claiming the absurd position that he is not part of the executive branch. Sooo the resident trolls change the subject to some scandal that dogged Frank years ago.
HEY! LOOK! Barney Frank! Prostitutes!
Let’s get back on topic please and not let the trolls hijack the conversation… now about that Dick…

June 28th, 2007 at 3:14 pmIf Issa is ashamed of belonging to an organization like Congress, he should resign.
Also, and I say this with some pretty good street experience, the Republicans should attack Rahm Emanuel. I think this would be a good idea. I think they can whup him.
Now, all Republicans in here – call your Representatives in Congress and tell them to attack Emanuel. Please.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:26 pmOff topic, Franks shouldn’t be in congress, with that kind of skeleton in his closet.
on topic, I know that this move is political theatre, but too funny, maybe Deadeye dick can pay for it out of his own funds, or sell advertising to Haliburton.

Jail? Don’t remember that. It’s been a long time since those allegations, and his constituents have returned him again and again. Know why? ‘Cause he’s good. Real good.
Why are Republicans always all about “Sex Crimes”, anyway? Seems kind of 8th grade, to me (maybe that’s it).
As for gay prostitutes, I do seem to remember someone named Gannon….Hmmm….
June 28th, 2007 at 3:35 pmIt’s called “Rule of Law”. We don’t see tem as “Bush and Cheney”. We see them as criminals. That’s how it is in the reality-based world.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:38 pmGood analysis.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:40 pmYou libs are just jealous because we are above the law. Laws were made to keep libs in line and well behaved. You should be lucky you have jobs (if you do). So lets repeat one more time!! Libs work to keep the rich Republicans happy. Libs work to keep the rich Republicans happy.
Repeat that line until you get it in your poverty stricken heads that the only reason libs are allowed to live is to keep us rich Republicans happy!!!

Why should Cheney get a “Katrina trailor” when the victims can’t even get one? These republicans really are the entitlement generation.
Cheney can have a refrigerator box for all I care.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:46 pmHmmmm, I am a little confused. Does this make me a republican? Does this mean I have libs working for me? Well I am sick of taking out the trash and emptying the dishwasher, so I am gonna need some libs to get on that.
Oh yeah and file my TPS reports with the new cover sheets.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:48 pmFEMA trailer? I love it- one of the ones melting into the mud in Arkansas a year after the storm.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:50 pmcheney diserves a 4×8 jail cell and his number’s 1 Million tatoed on his forhead for all the death’s he has caused, nothing more…
June 28th, 2007 at 3:52 pmCheney: Lynnie, can you get me my gun? It’s in the front window of the trailer.
Lynn: Dick, when are you going to get us out of this damn trailer?
Cheney: I told you! We’re not moving. I’ll be damned if I’m going to let any of those liberal moonbats read my papers.
Lynn: Then I’m leaving you for another woman!
Cheney: Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:55 pmHmmm, I kind of like these trailers. Not only can I hide my papers, but I could actually move & no one would know where I am. Hmmm…
Yet, you believe anything Bushco tells you, despite verifiable proof of its falsity. That junk.

Well you believe the DC Madame only had one important name on her list don’t you. Even though rumours are rampant that Dick Cheney is on the list and he’s the guy who had the list quashed so it wouldn’t appear on the ABC News Special.
But Frank put the guy out of his house when he found out. How is he complicit in the activities?

June 28th, 2007 at 4:11 pmYes, we’ll give him a Katrina trailer. If he signs up today, his name will come up and he should be able to move in in 2009, February, although I’d rather see him in Leavenworth by then.

June 28th, 2007 at 4:20 pmRemarks like this coming from ISSA aren’t surprising considering he hasn’t been held accountable for his past actions. I really cannot stand ISSA.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:21 pmyep – you used to play in the sandbox right?
Seriously, you guys can’t even keep a straight conversation going. First roger-doger lies about Franks going to jail (never happened) and when he is called on it, you try to jump in with an inacurate article from wikipedia.com. I’m not debating behavior or right or wrong – I’m just calling you guys out for being liars. You can’t tell the truth, like so very many in your party
Why?
Because you got nothing to say. You can come on here and be an honest broker of ideas because you don’t have ANY that can hold up to any kind of scrutiny, because your afriad to honestly debate anything, because you have nothing but fear and smear – from comment sections to campaigns. You guys have nothing but moral corruption, illegal behavior, and fascism.
You are a tool. You are paid to be here. I am here because it is right, because I have convictions, I don’t need to go on a rightwing blog and start s**t, because I am not a loser. I don’t need to knock anyone down to promote my ideas.
Now, go get your f**kin’ sandbox.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:26 pmI’m confused. Ragula’s comment about the Katrina Trailer seems to come across as a snide snark.
But it seems like such a good idea that it should be implemented. I don’t get why there is sarcasm for introducing such a fine idea.
June 28th, 2007 at 4:52 pmIssa gives a virtuoso performance. “How dare we!”
Yes, how dare the Senate use their institution to defend the constitution against DICKtator Cheney by de-funding his lawless, rogue branch of government!
Oh, the outrage!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
June 28th, 2007 at 4:53 pm#37 – “How can this disgrace of a man honestly think we would believe that junk?” Comment by Roger_Roger — June 28, 2007 @ 3:00 pm
The US believed then-Gov. Bush’s pre-election promises, and he never honored a single one of them.
The difference is that then-Gov. Bush was obviously lying, while Rep. Frank was telling the truth.
The attention span of the average US citizen is about as long as it takes for the next headline to be posted.
June 28th, 2007 at 5:08 pmThe Katrina trailer would be appropriate for Cheney and family, also Issa and family, Gonzo and family. One trailer would be sufficient for all three. A nice touch would be lights on all the time, loud noises every fifteen minutes (just to keep them on their toes, food served cold out of cans, you get the idea.

Comment by Wayne
You should get a hat tip!
June 28th, 2007 at 5:18 pmwell, one thing i DO know is , mr. cheney won’t need a food allowance and he won’t need food stamps either. he can get his vitamins and minerals from all that quail he scoops up in those canned hunts of his and he can graze on the white house lawn for fiber. just the sight of him on all fours nibbling on the tender grasses on the east lawn might put me in…LOL!!!
June 28th, 2007 at 9:30 pmAs we all realize by now, certain Republicans, like Rep. Issa, are sick and twisted individuals.
Cheney claims he’s not part of the executive branch, even though the U.S. Constitution says he is, which must mean Cheney views himself as head of some lalaland banana republic (making him a banana Republican).
Now, Cheney grudgingly admits that (aw, shucks) he is part of the executive branch, but no one, especially other U.S. citizens, have a right to know what criminal acts he’s been committing in his lalaland banana Republican realm, making him just as warped and twisted as Rep. Issa.
These Republican bozoes (or bonobos bozoes) are dangerous, primarily because they are, in my view, criminally insane.
June 28th, 2007 at 11:05 pmThe Democrats have control of Congress, and aren’t doing jack sh*t.

WASHINGTON – A particularly serious form of the sexually transmitted bacterial disease syphilis has been detected in gay and bisexual U.S. men infected with the AIDS virus, federal health officials reported on Thursday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracked 49 HIV-infected gay and bisexual men who had “symptomatic early neurosyphilis” from January 2002 to June 2004 in four cities — Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, New York.
The CDC cited the report as further evidence that gay and bisexual men, many also infected with HIV, are the driving force behind increases in U.S. syphilis cases this decade.
