Ilana Wexler for President in 2020!

And a child shall lead them. The Dickster ought to be ashamed of himself, but a war criminal has no shame. Halliburton has no shame, either. Our finest young people are being killed in that hell in hot and dusty place. Halliburton is reaping obscene profits from supplying the troops with grossly overpriced commodities. Ilana Wexler nails the Dickster. The Religious Right should take heed. However, the silence from the Religious Right is deafening. F-bombs aimed at Democrats are not obscene to the Religious Right. May the Dickster have nothing but bad days from now until November 2, 2004. If this is (fair & balanced) disdain, so be it.

Child Says Cheney Needs A Timeout For Cursing

BOSTON -- A 12-year-old girl from California nearly upstaged some long-time Democratic leaders on the second night of the party's convention in Boston.

Ilana Wexler won a speaking role for launching a Web site called kidsforkerry.org. She described Kerry as a "hero to America" and a "great and positive role model."

But she clearly doesn't feel the same way about Vice President Dick Cheney.

Wexler told delegates that she'd heard about Cheney's heated exchange with Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor -- during which Cheney used what the 12-year-old calls "a really bad word." She said if she used that word herself, she'd get a "timeout" -- and she thinks that's what should happen to Cheney.

Senate aides said Cheney was upset with Leahy's criticism of alleged impropriety in Iraq military contracts awarded to Halliburton. Cheney is a former CEO of Halliburton.

Leahy responded during a photo session in the Senate chamber by saying the vice president had once called him a bad Catholic.

Cheney is then said to have uttered a profanity directed at Leahy. Cheney replied either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself," aides said.

Leahy said he was shocked to hear the language on the Senate floor, but added Cheney must have been having a bad day.
