"Maybe his mother loved him." Cheney sure has class.

[gulliver]

Did Cheney just use Dean's mother in a personal slam? Cheney sure is a cool guy. Either that or I've been right all along using his name interchangeably with "dogshit."

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. ...and values too, don't forget.

They're the party with all the morals and values remember. :hi:

[SmokingJacket]

2. Actually... this delights me.

Shows Cheney to be the slimy creep we know he is.

What a ass.

[ruggerson]

3. What makes this even the more unreal

is the memory of Lynne Cheney screeching how Kerry was "a very bad man" who was "using" her daughter by bringing her up at the debate.


IS SOMEONE IN THE PRESS GOING TO BRING THIS UP?

[tsuki]

18. Yes, when no more white women go missing, maybe 2020.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Of course not

"Kerry was a very bad man." How hilarious how the fundies hate gay people and then they were all screaming how unfair it was for Lynne Cheney's daughter. She didn't even stand up with her dad at the RNC convention this past year because of all their little fundie bases. At least Dean was brought up with class and how to be a caring person. He doesn't need to showcase his doctor. I've never seen him really go by Dr. Dean and brag much. The only time I know of is when he was on Bill Maher.

[KlatooBNikto]

4. Dick, may be you were picked up from a trash can where your mom left you

when she couldn't stand to look at your contorted face.

[w13rd0]

5. I can easily imagine...

...Cheney in his green rainslicker and stupid hat gleefully clubbing baby seals and crushing infants skulls, because that's the kind of mother f*ker he is. The impression he gives is one of a heartless, selfish, mean-spirited, greedy prick, and a limp and useless one at that.

[Moochy]

6. Dicks Yesmen

Just goes to show you that Dick surrounds himself with yesmen and stooges in his undisclosed location.

I agree with other posters who say that Cheney is baiting Dean, trying to keep this issue front and center.

Dean, take the bait and pull the fisherman into the lake!

[Cha]

7. You've been right!

Wanna bet the msmw don't broadcast what cheney had to say about Dean and his mother from sea to shining sea?

So many people love Dean that cheney has got the green eyed monster syndrome.

[FreedomAngel82]

35. Of course not

The media is liberal silly! :sarcasm:

[Cyrano]

8. Cheney taking cheap shots at Dean is a good sign.

It means that Dean is making an impact. If not, the thugs would just ignore him.

[terrya]

9. "Dick" pretty much says it all about him.

The "mother" remark is a new low. Even for him.

[Triana]

10. How f*cking sad and JUVENILE...

CAN YOU BELIEVE the VP of the US said this? it sounds like something a 6-year old schoolyard bully would say. AT LEAST what Dean said is TRUE, based on factual information, and had a legitimate point (lack of diversity in the Repub party).

Cheney: HOW PATHETIC

:thumbsdown:

[Carolab]

11. Just as Tom DeLay said, "now I can see they have no class." n/t

[Southsideirish]

12. Pathetic old man, jealous of Dean's millions of passionate fans.

[BlueWolff]

14. You left out CROOK

Pathetic OLD CROOK......of a man....with a G A Y daughter he keeps in the closet until he needs her to do some dirty work for him!!!!

[Lucille]

13. Dick "Go f*** yourself" Cheney

The fact that the punditry and Washington insiders consider Dean not ready for primetime, while Cheney can curse at Democratic senators with pride, let alone impunity. Just a few weeks ago, Trent Lott called for violence against federal judges. Don't recall Cheney's colostomy bag getting in a twist over that.

[LibDemAlways]

15. Years ago on a thread entitled

"What would Cheney hand out on Halloween?" one poster summed it up very nicely.

On Halloween Cheney is the evil bastard sitting in a darkened house with a bottle of scotch for company cursing the children as they pass by outside.

I can think of no more perfect description.

[Cyrano]

16. The only way to improve on that is

to have a flunky standing next to him who he's ordering to go out and steal the candy from the kids.

[LibDemAlways]

24. LOL

Yep, he'd send out some guy in a hideous mask to sneak up on little kids, scare the crap out of them, and grab their treat bags.

Wouldn't put it past him at all.

[gademocrat7]

17. typical bully mentality

Hope Dr. Dean doesn't get cheney's heart pumping too fast.....

[Wright Patman]

22. Wouldn't it be ironic

if Cheney and Dr. Dean were at the same gathering, Cheney's heart began fibrillating and Dr. Dean saved his life?

Whereas, if the situation were reversed, Cheney would stand over Dean as he was gasping for breath and shout at him to do anatomically impossible things to himself.

[FreedomAngel82]

37. Yep

And if that happened Cheney probably wouldn't change.

[Lisa]

40. Cheney would probably turn around and sue him!

And he'd make sure that the Supreme Court made a one-time loophole in that legislation the WH is pushing, to cap medical lawsuit claims!


But seriously, I hope that Cheney freaks out and curses into an open mike -- using the same words he did in the Senate when he thought nobody was listening. He only reveals how truly ugly he is.

[Stirk]

19. Cheney is trying to keep the media talking about Dean, and not the DSM.

Focussing on what an asshole Cheney is would be pointless. He's already despised by the public. Even Republicans don't like him.

The response to Cheney's words should be, "yes, anyway- back to your war crimes..."

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. where did he say it and what did he say?

[Bouncy Ball]

21. Well, when he went on to say he's never met anyone who does,

I thought "Damn, cheney, you piece of shit, you oughta get out more."

I know LOADS of people who love him. It's not Dean's fault cheney runs in such hateful little circles.

And besides, this is the very guy who didn't know how to dress properly for a formal Holocaust memorial with heads of state, ok? Consider the source, as they say.

And yes, he is lower than dogshit.

[ET Awful]

23. When they have to resort to using "yo mama" jokes, they've already

lost.

Dean must have hit a major nerve.

[Cha]

38. You're so funny!

"yo mama jokes"..I didn't even think of it that way but it's true, dude!

[theplutsnw]

25. And to top it off...

Howard's Father was a stanch Republican (not sure about his mother). Howard even went to the 1964 Republican National Convention (at the age of 15) in support of Goldwater, his father's choice (it's all in "Winning Back America"). Perhaps Cheney would like to read Winning Back America so he could learn a little more about the fiscally conservative, socially liberal chair of the DNC, who's strong words against this facsist regime got me into politics in the first place and they are what will keep me.

[Bouncy Ball]

30. Oooo great post!

And I have that book, it's a good read.

[newyawker99]

32. Hi theplutsnw!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[depakid]

26. Why shouldn't Cheney go low?

Many of the "leading' Dems are too cowardly to back Dean up- all they can manage is to snivel and "be polite."

Of all of the people that the Dems could be afraid of, Mr. multiple deferment Cheney should be the last of them- and yet- will they say anything?

Nope. And they expect people to send them money and vote for them?

Fat chance. Until they get a clue (or better yet, get bounced from the party) the Dems are destined to be irrelevant.

[MountainLaurel]

27. Yo Mama jokes

By the vice fucking president of the United States? Now I've seen it all -- think I'll start working on that visa application to Canada tomorrow.

:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Imagine the outrage

if this was Al Gore saying it to someone on the republican side. "Oh Al Gore is such a bully!" But Cheney? Not a peep! :mad:

[cestpaspossible]

28. He's shocked, shocked that anyone would use a family member

in a political attack :eyes:

[Kansas Wyatt]

29. Cheney???

Isn't that the guy who operates the "sock puppet"?

[Beware the Beast Man]

The same guy that wore ski gear to an Auschwitz memorial? NOOOOO!

:eyes: :P

[dogday]

31. Cheney wants to Play Mothers Man!

No Mothers Man!

[spanone]

33. Cheney is a turd. Shame on America for not throwing this bastard out.

[Lecky]

36. Couldn't he at least come up with a better zinger?

I mean...that was pretty lame, even "go fuck yourself" was better than that.

[Lisa]

41. yeah -- the man can't even tell a decent "yo mama" joke!

(kudos to ET Awful who pointed that out earlier in the thread)
