Cheney Invites Libby on Hunting Trip Before "Scooter" Leaves for
Prison

Nothing to Do With Trial Results Veep tells anxious reporters.

Vice President Dick Cheney surprised everyone in Washington today by
announcing that he was inviting his former chief of staff, I. Lewis
"Scooter" Libby, to join him on a quail hunting trip to Texas. Cheney
said that the hunting trip had been in the works "for months" and had
nothing to do with Mr. Libby's testimony at the recent.trial.

It might be Scooter who will soon be headed for a year or two in the
federal cooler, but the underlying political indictment coming out of
his trial focuses on his boss, Dick Cheney, and on the deceptions,
dualities and outright lies that got us into Iraq in the first place.

Libby, always the fiercely loyal ideological soldier, took it right in
the shorts for his bosses, and without as much as a whimper. His
highly skilled defense lawyers pleaded that Libby - who has remained
mum throughout his ordeal - was but an innocent scapegoat caught up in
the machinations of those above his pay grade. And, to a great degree,
they are right. Libby sat in court and stoically grinned, and then as
the verdict was read aloud, he methodically and silently fell on his
sword for Rove and Cheney. As juror Dennis Collins told the press
immediately after the trial, "We had a lot of sympathy for Libby...
and we kept asking ourselves,

'Where's Cheney? Where's Rove?'

All The Cowards Hide lyrics by NEVERMORE

It's time to play a game
a game of chances
and now recall the names
of those who passed before us
today you could lose your life
do as you're told tow the line
hypocrisy is what we die for
cattle to the slaughter born are we?

all the cowards hide
as their puppets dance they laugh
they pull the strings

It's time to play your hand
the cards have been dealt
atone the sins of man
and cleanse your spirit
do what they say surrender will
and you wont go to hell
a human pawn of suited cowards
there is no truth, only power

all the cowards hide
as their puppets dance they laugh
they pull the strings

all the pawns resign
to the wheel of chance
they watch the wheel spin
no one wins

fall, obey, another number meets the end

all the cowards hide
as their puppets dance they laugh
they pull the strings

all the pawns resign
to the wheel of chance
they watch the wheel spin

all the pious lies
we subvert the minds of youth
to lead them to truth

all the pawns resign
the appointed fools
opress our worthless generation

fall, obey, another number meets the end
obey, obey, obey
fall, obey, another number meets the end
pray, you're saved
your hidden past is the last laugh
obey
