I guess it is now against the law — in what used to be the United
States of America — to even approach Dick Cheney, unless you are
handing him a campaign donation.
No criticism will be tolerated.

*Man arrested for criticizing Cheney to his face*
by Josh Marshall
Talking Points Memo
October 4, 2006
This deserves more attention. A man walking with his young son goes
up to the Vice President at a public appearance and tells him his Iraq
policy is “reprehensible.” He’s later arrested for “assaulting” VP
Cheney. Now he’s suing. The guy’s name is Steve Howard.
Here’s a snippet from the Rocky Mountain News …

Attorney David Lane said that on June 16, Steve Howards was
walking his 7-year-old son to a piano practice, when he saw
Cheney surrounded by a group of people in an outdoor mall
area, shaking hands and posing for pictures with several
people.
According to the lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in
Denver, Howards and his son walked to about two-to-three feet
from where Cheney was standing, and said to the vice
president, “I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible,”
or words to that effect, then walked on.
Ten minutes later, according to Howards’ lawsuit, he and his
son were walking back through the same area, when they were
approached by Secret Service agent Virgil D. “Gus” Reichle
Jr., who asked Howards if he had “assaulted” the vice
president. Howards denied doing so, but was nonetheless placed
in handcuffs and taken to the Eagle County Jail.
