Looks like a performance at NYU (where she was a student for a few years). She really can sing (though she has a few misses playing the piano). There’s talent there, covered these days in a blond wig/hairdo and heavy makeup. Do your best to ignore the goofy MC, if you can.

If you hadn’t had a chance to read the WaPo’s series on Cheney, this video clip gives you a quick summary in 10 minutes. Worth watching. If nothing else, you come away with the sense that Bush actually doesn’t do much.
This is about the Washington Post’s excellent series about Dick Cheney, which you should read through if you haven’t already.
Oh Ana Marie, you minx. Don’t tease me like this.
I wish they’d call our house. I’d answer yes to the two impeachment questions, too!
This is not going to end well for anyone if it goes this way, but there really is no other choice if Bush doesn’t decide to honor the rule of law. Congress needs to do this. More on this topic at TPM.
Seriously, I don’t envy her the job she has to do. It must suck to have to go up there and defend a position that you know makes no sense. Add to that the unbelievable administration back story reported by the Washington Post and there’s really only one conclusion. Cheney should leave his position and the White House should ask for him to resign. More on that later.
This is a post almost entirely cribbed from Atrios, including the title. We need more Democrats like Rep. Rahm Emanuel to stand up and start holding the administration accountable. Since Congress can only ultimately control the money, that seems to be where they should focus their efforts. Via Atrios, we have this from an email sent out today:
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued the following statement regarding his amendment to cut funding for the Office of the Vice President from the bill that funds the executive branch. The legislation — the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill — will be considered on the floor of the House of Representatives next week.
“The Vice President has a choice to make. If he believes his legal case, his office has no business being funded as part of the executive branch. However, if he demands executive branch funding he cannot ignore executive branch rules. At the very least, the Vice President should be consistent. This amendment will ensure that the Vice President’s funding is consistent with his legal arguments. I have worked closely with my colleagues on this amendment and will continue to pursue this measure in the coming days.”
This amendment should pass unless the Vice President agrees to follow the executive orders and laws of this country. I posted about the underlying issue in a quick link post so if you missed it, please read.
These people have operated as if they’re above the law for too long. It’s time they were reminded of what their obligations are as government officials in our great country.
