OK, so maybe it just means that I have been spending too much time re-reading the Harry Potter books, trying to predict what will happen in the finale, but ...
Does anyone else think that Al Gore is starting to look more and more like Evil Lord Voldemort, and worse, might like being compared to him?

So what are you saying, that if in a similar position as Cheney you wouldn't choose to follow the advice of YOUR high priced attorney and take the stand?
How "courageous" of you. And dumber than a diaper wearing astronut!
And BTW, Cheney received 3 deferments not 5. 2 of the three were extended which the "peddlers of truth" such as you conflate to mean 5.
