Storm Front Building

From the AP:

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. An upstate congressman says "it's very appropriate" for Vice President Dick Cheney to resign now that his former chief of staff has been convicted of four felonies.
Maurice Hinchey -- an Ulster County Democrat -- reacted the day after Lewis Libby was found guilty of lying and obstructing a probe into the leak of a C-I-A operative's identity.
Hinchey told a Binghamton radio station (W-N-B-F) that Cheney has "caused an enormous amount of trouble" related to the public disclosure of the employee's identity.
Hinchey said Congress should conduct a "full and complete" investigation into Cheney's role in the C-I-A leak case.
Hinchey wants a special counsel appointed to pursue possible criminal charges against Cheney.
The congressman said such a counsel could continue the work started by prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.
That noise you hear? It's the Bush administration bus, and it is careening down the street with a drunk at the wheel, bouncing off the curbs and losing wheels at a phenomenal clip.
