From CNN.com:WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney Tuesday dismissed congressional investigations into the firings of nine U.S. attorneys as "a bit of a witch hunt."
"First of all, there's no charge," Cheney said. "What's the allegation of wrongdoing here? Frankly, there isn't any."
"They keep rolling over rocks hoping they can find something, but there really hasn't been anything come up that would suggest there was any wrongdoing of any kind," Cheney told CNN's Larry King, adding that he did not feel that Bush senior political adviser Karl Rove need testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the matter. |

Excellent work, Halfmooner. Your photoshopping is starting to look like it could rival your writing. What a deadly combination...

Thanks, Mab. I personally believe the above was one of my worst efforts. I'm slow at getting up to speed again with this.

Exactly! Also, my masking was horrible, showing white around much of the stuff I pasted into the backgroound.
And thanks. Bush did make a good monkey, as usual.

Tips:
a - don't use a soft brush to mask - or, if you really want to, use a very small one. That's what causes the blurry edge. Or, if you have a motor control (or whatever, you get it) better than mine (not that hard ;p) there is always the lasso selection tool or the pen tool.
b - to check on the masking for obnoxious details, make three layers; one black, one white, one 50% gray or some other stand-offish color like bright blue or some other color that won't blend with the original background (think the blue screen technique they use in the cinema; it's the same idea). That will show all the mess in the cutting, including the white haloes. You can delete 'em afterwards.
Fabulous job, either way
