Shut up, Dickie
Cheney is not doing the country any good. He's making it easy for mindless partisans on the R side to quote him, and he's making it easy for mindless partisans on the D side to mock him. Without this decerebrate parroting, there would be less noise, and it would be easier to hear the real criticism of the Bushobama administration's massive and putrid disloyalty.
For instance, Maureen Dowd says:
When Maureen Dowd and even CNN have turned against the Liberal Messiah, you know the entire government, not just one party, is in trouble.
Cheney tries to place all the blame on Obama, and his counter-parrots then place all the blame on Bush and Cheney ... thus sparing the government from scrutiny. Which is undoubtedly his real purpose. ¶ 3:28 PM
For instance, Maureen Dowd says:
Even before a Nigerian with Al Qaeda links tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet headed to Detroit, travelers could see we had made no progress ...
We seemed to still be behind the curve and reactive, patting down grannies and 5-year-olds, confiscating snow globes and lip glosses.
If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?
When Maureen Dowd and even CNN have turned against the Liberal Messiah, you know the entire government, not just one party, is in trouble.
Cheney tries to place all the blame on Obama, and his counter-parrots then place all the blame on Bush and Cheney ... thus sparing the government from scrutiny. Which is undoubtedly his real purpose. ¶ 3:28 PM
