So picture this
cheney on the hot seat at scooter's trial.

Fitz, grilled him on what's what.

Tell, me, will he lie under oath? or Just glare at him like he did to wolfe?

I picture him totally losing all composure.

What say ye?

15. He can't though, even though he thinks he can
If he's subpoena'ed, he's going.

2. I picture it like the scene in "A Few Good Men"...
...with Sith Lord Cheney as Jack Nicolson.

"The truth? You can't handle the truth. That's why I tell nothing but lies."

I'm paraphrasing a bit.

3. Likey this
Kaffee: I want the truth!
Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
Kaffee: Did you order the code red?
Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!!

5. Under that situation, I see him totally lying
and I see the American Public not caring that he lied. This is why I hate that Clinton lied under oath about the Lewinsky matter. It was an awful precedent.

7. He won't appear in person. He's a coward. And a liar.
