Cheney: Touching me = Assaulting me (and no, I won't agree to testify)

Boy I hope this gets some airtime.

Funny how some people can act so tough, but if you even touch them they can’t take it.

the blip has become a blowup, with Secret Service agents — under oath in court depositions — accusing one another of unethical and perhaps even illegal conduct in the handling of Mr. Howards’s arrest and the official accounting of it.

...

The agent who made the arrest, Virgil D. Reichle Jr., said in a deposition that he was left hanging with an untenable arrest because two agents assigned to the vice president had at first agreed with a Denver agent that there had been assault on Mr. Cheney by Mr. Howards, then changed their stories to say that no assault had occurred.

Mr. Reichle, who did not witness the encounter, said in his deposition that he believed the vice president’s security detail had wanted the Howards arrest to go away so that Mr. Cheney would not be inconvenienced by a court case...

Yeah, wouldn't want to "inconvienience" the VP with stuff like finding out that he's a pussy who has his goons arrest a guy who barely touched his shoulder.

What pisses me off is that these creeps always get to be given the benefit of the doubt, after proving that they're cowards over and over again.

Well maybe this time we'll get to see the coward in court, explaining how scarey it is to be touched on the shoulder by an unarmed man when you're surrounded by armed guards.

Hey Cheney.. You're nothing but a fascist pussy.

UPDATE:
davidkc points out that apparently Mr Reichle (the guy who's accusing the Cheney goons of covering up what happened) has been shipped off to Guam. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
