"It did not involve a lawsuit against Dick Cheney as a private individual," Scalia said in response to a question from the audience of about 600 people. "This was a government issue. It's acceptable practice to socialize with executive branch officials when there are not personal claims against them. That's all I'm going to say for now. Quack, quack."

I find the distinction between private individual and government task force to be artificial when the issue is bias. Especially since Scalia appearst to have a history (hint, hint) of being biased towards this particular administration.

But most of all, I'm amused by the image of a supreme court justice saying, "Quack, quack." Did he say it in a rubber duckie voice? Inquiring minds want to know! :)

Rick Salutin, columnist with Canada's Globe and Mail, writes:

The media's renowned critical powers mainly operate on those who violate rules inside the frame, or those like Howard Dean who breach it by saying the unspeakable. As for his famous scream in Iowa, it came long after he had been led out of the building by the media. For my money, he got on a roll, feeling the crowd, and reached his peak phrase ("The White House, in Washington, D.C.") regrettably early, with little to do but finish with a yelp. It could happen to any of us.
