Paula Jones case may force Cheney, Rove to testify
Bwwwwaahahahahahaha!

Lawyers are planning to use the same legal precedent that allowed President Bill Clinton to be sued while in office to force malevolent, authoritarian cyborg Dick Cheney and puffy, grublike Svengali Karl Rove to testify in a lawsuit brought by Valerie Plame and husband Joe Wilson.

Attorney Joseph Cotchett said he will ask a federal court to order Cheney, his ex-chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby and Rove to testify in depositions about their role in disclosing her classified status.

The civil lawsuit accuses them and others of conspiring to publicly identify Plame as a CIA agent to punish her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, for writing in an op-ed piece that the Bush administration twisted intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq war.

Court documents show that Cheney has hired Emmet Flood, a lawyer from Clinton's impeachment defense team, to represent him in the Plame case.
