Countdown Tuesday: Cheney World

Sorry so late, folks...

Cheney World:  President Bush may be the decider, but his decisions are often filtered by the one and only man-branch Vice President Cheney.  Rep. Rahm Emanuel is on to chat with Keith over his efforts to have the VP's office defunded, since Cheney says he's not part of the executive branch.  It's a congressional purse strings thing.

Ex Lugar:  He's the latest Republican to break ranks and ask the President to bring troops home.  He says he took months to arrive at his decision...but he finally came around.  Gee, thanks.

ODDBALL:  Ooh, baby...don't miss tonight's oddball.  It was so great.  So SO great!

Factor Fiction:  Bill O'Reilly gets his lunch handed to him by a 16-year-old high school kid (for the second time in as many weeks).  We just can't pass up the opportunity to enjoy the moment.

Cruise Control:  The controversy over Tom Cruise's movie currently filiming in Germany.  The descendants of the German fella Tom is playing doesn't want a scientology guy pretending to be his dad.   

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD:  Well, if you saw the show, you'll notice that our graphic producer used the wrong image of the ultimate worst for this fine Tuesday.  Worstie fans will know what we're talking about.

Viva Le Paris!:  She's sprung from the cooler, she looked fabulous and we wrapped up the day's ridiculous coverage with a redux of the get out of jail news and the one and only Michael Musto.

"Point 4b: "Libya gave up it’s nuclear ambitions." You're kidding right? Libya? Khaddafi has been so stoned for the last 20 years that this nation has been very idle (thank god). I'm willing to be surprised. Point me toward something I can read about this. This one, I admit, I've not researched.

Kadaffy Duck's Nuclear ambitions are under lock and key an hours drive from here.
Read something besides Salon.com every now and again.
He also upped a significant "Stockpile" of poison gases while he was at it.
His son may well have convinced he was playing a losing game and that he was next on the list, which would likely have boded ill for the whole clan.
