Vice President Dick Cheney has been sued over his refusal to turn over
records from his meetings last year with top energy industry executives.
We may never know what he's still hiding, but the following partially
shredded items were found in a dumpster outside the U.S. Naval Observatory
last month:
- Solicitation from Enron regarding investments in Lord Vader and Dark
Side partnerships.
- Credit card receipts from fact-finding trips to the Slippery Banana
in Houston.
- Presidential clemency pricelist (full pardon for a $1 million Bush
library donation; $100,000 for transfer to luxurious low-security federal
pen in Florida).
- Draft of Lynne Cheney novel, "One Heartbeat Away," in which the president
is incapacitated by tainted snack foods.
- Transcript of Dick Cheney's Feb. 22, 2001 meeting with industry executives
at which Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling jokes about the California energy
crisis. ("Imagine Hollywood without hair-dryers," and "Hope their hair-dryers
run on carrot juice.")
- Outline of Enron-CIA plan to drive up energy prices by controlling
the weather.
- Blurry 2000 GOP convention photos of Dick Cheney sharing tequila
shots with the Bush twins.
- Letter from President Bush offering to let Enron use the White House
for its Christmas party, with hand-written note: "Kenny-boy, mi castle
es su castle."
- Draft of Lynne Cheney screenplay, "The Body Electric,"
in which the vice president's wife--left alone after her husband moves
to an undisclosed secure location--arranges her own top-secret meetings
with energy executives.
