How is it? How is what? How is it that we have a dictatorial, repressionist regime instead of a democracy?

yeah... how IS it, pray tell...?
HOW IS IT THAT the vice president of the United States can shoot and wound someone and the American public doesn't learn of it until 18 hours later -- and then only because the owner of the location where the event occurred decided the next day to tell a local reporter?

answer your own goddam question, wapo - if you have the guts...

Neither Mr. Cheney nor the White House gets to pick and choose when to disclose a shooting. Saturday's incident required immediate public disclosure -- a fact so elementary that the failure to act properly is truly disturbing in its implications.

so, SPELL OUT THE IMPLICATIONS...? but, n-o-o-o-o-o...

when the goddam, fire-breathing hell is the u.s. gonna wake up...? things have advanced so far down the pike to a totalitarian state that our so-called "elected" officials don't answer to ANYONE for ANYTHING... if we needed a moment to pinpoint precisely when it became clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that bushco disregards the law and has no compunction about doing whatever it pleases, it is this one... cheney doesn't see himself ABOVE the law, he IS the law and the law is whatever he says it is...
