Cheney invokes 'executive privilege' in being a total dick

Commoner breathed same oxygen as former Vice President!! Well, maybe not. But back in the bad old days of the Dictator-totship, if you were a mere peon rather than a million-dollar 'Bush Patriot,' you had cooties and were not allowed to touch his sacred majesty, Darth Cheney.

A federal judge has reinstated a subpoena seeking testimony from former Vice President Dick Cheney in a lawsuit filed by a Colorado man.

Steven Howards was arrested in June 2006, when he walked up to Cheney at an event and told him his Iraq policy was "disgusting."

Agents called the incident an assault and Howard was arrested. Howards filed suit, alleging the arrest was in retaliation for disagreeing with Cheney and a violation of his constitutional rights to free speech and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.

Why does the former VP hate freedom?
