WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution," local media reported. The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them." Vermont, home to maple syrup and picture-postcard views, is known for its liberal politics. State lawmakers have passed nonbinding resolutions to end the war in Iraq and impeach Bush and Cheney, and several towns have also passed resolutions of impeachment. None of them have caught on in Washington. Bush has never visited the state as president, though he has spent vacations at his family compound in nearby Maine. Roughly 12,000 people live in Brattleboro, located on the Connecticut River in the state's southeastern corner. Nearby Marlboro has a population of roughly 1,000. ### Here's a great example of slanting the news by omission. A reasonable person, but evidently not the reporter, would observe that the southeastern corner of Vermont has a concentration of colleges. The main industry in Brattleboro, the last time I was there, appeared to be Academia, normally a seedbed for lame ideas such as the above.

Right after the polls closed in Vermont last night, Fox News called the election there for Obama. Carl Rove said that was to be expected in the land of granola-eating, anti-war liberals.

Old story. I read about this months ago. funny Karl Rove would say that, I don't see his tubby ass enlisting. Why not arrest them for war crimes for starting an unprovoked war? I'm all for it. Hang 'em high.

Hang 'em high. Froggy: Didn't know that. Reuters is carrying it today as new news, stamped Wed Mar 5, 2008. That wouldn't make you suspicious of the news media, would it? Karl who?

Gee Bobbbiez, I always thought sniffing bicycle seats was a primary part of the selection process. It served to sort the "funky asses" from the "sweet meat"! ;D

This is one of the wonders of this forum. We never could get answers to these important questions on the other forum! Bobbbiez was severely restricted in her ability to inform us of the facts, and I was just so "in the dark" about some of these important issues. Hmmm, what was the original subject of this thread anyhow?
