How Should Howard Respond To Dick?
Now That Cheney Has Declared War On Howard Dean

"I've never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does. He's never won anything, as best I can tell," Cheney said in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

---------------------------------------------------

Please, Mr. Dean, sometime next week, in a high profile setting, utter a humorous soundbyte which ridicules the fact that Cheney is so out of touch with the American political scene, that he does not know you were elected Governor of Vermont five times.

My suggestion: "I guess the Vice President was holed up in his bunker during those five election cycles - they should let him out more often so he can see what's going on in America"

or, at a national governor's conference, with a big grin:

"To my fellow non elected Governors...."

Above all, DO NOT LET THIS DIE WITHOUT RIDICULING CHENEY FOR IT.

1. "Apparently they don't have the internet...
...newspapers or magazines in those undisclosed locations where they keep the VP."

48. That's "Internets," plural...
... as in, "I downloaded 'My Pet Goat' and some Mary Carey movies on the Internets."

3. With both barrels, of course
This is a big chance to put Darth Cheney in his place - and send him scampering back to his spider hole.

4. Laugh at him
Any reasonable person will regard Cheney's remarks as at least as far "over the top" as Deans. This is a case where mockery is the best strategy.

in Dickhead Cheney's illegal Halliburton war profiteering.

16. That DICK has the GALL to talk about Dean's APPEAL!!!
It's astounding. Look at this fuckhead. Dean is a sexgod rockstar next to this vile piece of ignorant crap. How many times did you flunk out of YALE, Dick? How many DUI's did you get? How much money have you extracted from us for HALLIBURTON, and what's the value of your stock options NOW? How's the TICKER? Still got the operating room in the basement over there at the Naval Observatory? Hope you get to use it real soon!

Time for the 'sore winners' meme to go national.

under the one payer system would work. Dean is the doctor and Cheney the patient.

25. Governor of Vermont, that state must like straight shooters, no liers
Vermont just went up in my thoughts, must be a pretty nice place to live. Dr. Dean is just what the Republicans fear most and what the Democrats need most. He just needs to clean up a little on his speaks and he will rock this place like it so badly needs.

28. Dean should tell Cheney to go fuck himself.
When the media attention comes Dean should point out that Cheney has used the same kind of language and was proud of it. Why can the vice-president use profanity but a party leader cannot? Why did the press pay less attention to Cheney than they do now to Dean?

29. "I was elected governor 5 times, the same number of your deferments."
I would like Dean to counter with that.

Also, "To my fellow non-elected Governors" is really funny :7

43. How's this
Well, seeing as Mr Cheney has decided that I have never won anything, and seeing as how most politically aware people will concede I have certainly won more elections than he ever has, this led to me start thinking how you could have a 'negative' amount of wins.

It seems to me the only way that would be possible would be if one was to steal an election that you didn't actually win. Perhaps this is Mr Cheney's way of coming clean about something that happened in 2000 and 2004?

47. In Episode One/Season One of "Deadwood" where Bullock,
still a Marshall in Montana, has a noose around the neck
of a man accused of stealing a horse facing a mob ready
to kill the accused themselves... the accused man lets loose
with the most venomous, seething "FFFFUUCCCKKK HHYYOOUUUUU!!!"....


THAT is how I would LOVE to see Dean respond to Cheney. :rofl: :bounce: :woohoo: :rofl:


Anyone got a sound file of that moment?

You can do it..let cheney know how out of touch he is.

52. I think sometimes
the best thing to do is just to ignore his comments. He's a schoolyard bully pulling a "your mama" joke as someone else mentioned in another thread about this. I think it goes to show that dear old Dick isn't an adult at all in his brain. If I was Dean I'd keep pushing their buttons with issues that matter. Obviously he's doing something right. Kick some more ass Dean!

53. Dissing Cheney would be easy...
All Dean would have to do is tell all Americans that "Cheney is trying to change the issue into being about me. The real issue is the United States and who is in control of it. Cheney epitomizes a small group of rich, white, Christian elites who have declared war on the working man and woman. Cheney advocates an America where the New Deal is dismantled and replaced by Welfare for the Rich. You see, Cheney doesn't want a level playing field, instead he wants the rules to favor him and a few select members of his social circle."
