Republican Shenanigans

Shhh, It's Bush v Gore

 

 

At a law school Supreme Court conference that I attended last fall, there was a panel on “The Rehnquist Court.” No one mentioned Bush v. Gore, the most historic case of William Rehnquist’s time as chief justice, and during the Q. and A. no one asked about it. When I asked a prominent law professor about this strange omission, he told me he had been invited to participate in another Rehnquist retrospective, and was told in advance that Bush v. Gore would not be discussed.

Being Dick Cheney

 

The sideshow accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney's visit to Boise to stump for congressional candidate Bill Sali included the irreverent: Sportsmen in blaze orange vests handing out leaflets on hunter safety.

The somber: Peace activists silently lining a major downtown arterial with tombstones to mark the mounting death toll in Iraq.

And the zany: A Dick Cheney look-alike contest sponsored by a third-party candidate. The man with the most Cheney-like visage was promised $22 in free gas and a box of shotgun shells.
