Bwa ha...bwa ha ha...bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Okay, one of the bigger stories bouncing around the blogs today is this at Bloomberg.com: Cheney May Be Entangled in CIA Leak Investigation. It's good stuff for those of you jonesing to know the latest.

But buried way down at the bottom was the little piece of info that got me chuckling like a Disney cartoon villain...
In an interview yesterday, Wilson said that once the criminal questions are settled, he and his wife may file a civil lawsuit against Bush, Cheney and others seeking damages for the alleged harm done to Plame's career.

If they do so, the current state of the law makes it likely that the suit will be allowed to proceed -- and Bush and Cheney will face questioning under oath -- while they are in office. The reason for that is a unanimous 1997 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling that Paula Jones' sexual harassment suit against then- President Bill Clinton could go forward immediately, a decision that was hailed by conservatives at the time.
