Birds of a Feather Go Duck Hunting Together
Be vewwy vewwy quiet....we're twying to fix a case hehehehehehe......

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Government watchdogs are raising concerns about a potential conflict of interest for Justice Antonin Scalia because he had dinner and went on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney while the Supreme Court was involved in a case about the vice president's energy task force.
Scalia and Cheney, longtime friends, had dinner at a restaurant on Maryland's Eastern Shore in November, two months after the Bush administration asked the justices to overrule a lower court's decision requiring White House to identify task force members.
The men went duck hunting in Louisiana this month, not long after the court agreed to hear the case."

No word yet as to whether the ducks were in a cage for Bwana Dick...that appears to be the way he likes to "hunt."

After he gets disbarred, Fat Tony has a promising career as a stand-up comic to look forward to:

"Scalia, in a written statement to the Los Angeles Times for its story Saturday on the duck hunting trip, said: ``I do not think my impartiality could reasonably be questioned.'' "

2. That's How Cheney Makes Deals
That's how the Halliburton/Dresser Industries "merger" (aka buy-out, in my opinion) came to be. Cheney took Dresser's CEO on a quail-hunting trip.

Ta Da!
