Too bad you don't know **** my friend. a) it would be a libel
suit, and b) cheney is a politician. In the US you can say whatever
you want about politicians. It's basically 'open season' on them,
to make a bad pun....


Too bad you didn't learn to read very well. Reread the above again. I
excluded politicians.

Verb: slander
1. Charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and
reputation of someone

It was a bad pun.



Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from
slander, which is oral defamation
