Constitution keeps America thriving, Lynne Cheney tells students

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Lynne Cheney held up her book “America” and told about 120 elementary school students that despite a terrorist attack five years ago, the country is still thriving.

Cheney, the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, credited the U.S. Constitution with giving the country the strength to move on during a speech Monday to students from two Louisville-area schools as part of National Constitution Day.

She quoted “America the Beautiful” in the opening of her book

“O beautiful for patriot dream, That sees beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears!”

“It’s still true,” Cheney said. “Even though they hurt the towers, our alabaster cities do gleam.”

of those attacks, Corpmerica still thrives!"

3. Is this bitch for real?

If she thinks our cities are made of gleaming alabaster, she must be on heavier meds than Pickles. I think someone must have slipped acid into her Nyquil.

8. "Alabaster"

My dictionary mentions that it is "often white and translucent, used for ornamental objects." That pretty much sums up the world of the WASP, doesn't it? I'm sure that Lynne and her ilk only see/care about the alabaster segments of any city, if they see/care at all. Plus, those alabaster segments should sport a net worth of at least 1 mil if they are to be considered worthy of one's gaze.

4. "Despite our best efforts," Mrs. Cheney whined

Oh, that didn't make it into the story?
