Dick Cheney Gone Wild

[NNN0LHI]

http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_42005.asp

Vice President Dick Cheney rolled out the heavy artillery to try to squash any and all opposition to the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Powell War in Iraq. It’s always interesting how “Darth” Cheney always appears from his appointed task of running the shadow government somewhere to don his cape and quell discussion and debate over whatever questionable administration policy has seized the moment. He always adds the “adult” voice to the chorus after all the “young un’s” like Condoleeza Rice have flailed away fruitlessly attempting to sway public opinion in the administration’s favor. The implied message to us all is: “Hush up now. Daddy’s home. Mind your manners.”

Cheney warned us all about the big, bad, boogie day of doom that awaits us all if we don’t toe the line. He tried very hard to frighten as many people as he could with his portrayal of the horrors that are in store if we don’t let these administration cowboys continue to round up and dispose of the terrorist herd at will.

Oh, and anyone who disagrees with him is a wimp.

Well, Dick, I noticed you delivered your bold message at the Heritage Foundation, the well-endowed incubator of conservative thought. Who’s the wimp here? If that ain’t preaching to the choir, I don’t know what is.

Cheney also re-wrote the justification for the war yet again and has made it so vague this time that it would pretty hard for anyone to try to paraphrase just what it was. Needless to say, we are fighting it for some fluid reason, and we are there in the middle of it now. Everyone should probably just give up trying to justify or un-justify it. That discussion is going nowhere. We are fighting it because the Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908. How’s that?

1. Best justification yet

"We are fighting it because the Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908."

4. Whoo! that was a FUN read

Stop trying the sell the war. Wage the war. Shut down the p.r. machine. It’s not working. No one believes you any more, at least not your words, which change with every shift of the breeze. Go about your business. Go back to shadow land. Things make sense there.

:toast: to Bart Whiteman!

6. Good article.

I'm amazed that this came from the Chattanooga area; I always thought they were very conservative in that area.

7. Cheney will next resort to appear only in darkened rooms

holding a flashlight under his chin........to quote Count Floyd..."Ooooohhhhh that's scary".

Thing is, he DOES scare me.

8. Reverse The Curse

12. Bwahahahahaha.

We could speculate about psycho side-effects from his heart meds.

Nah, that would be silly.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

15. F**k him

I'm sick of his crap and his so called "role" in the shadow government.
BTW, Love Count Floyd (and Dr. Tongue)! Ahhh, an SCTV reference! I use that one often and unfortunatelly, people don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
Whatta shame.

9. I STRONGLY PROTEST THIS ARTICLE!!!

Imagine...mentioning Cheney and the Chicago Cubs in the same article! Keep that bum away from our karma! :grr:

10. "Big Time" can go fuck himself.

11. I was almost afraid to open this thread

I half-thought that with a title like "Dick Cheney Gone Wild" that there might be a picture of old Dick flashing topless to the camera for some beads.

17. My first thought: "that's one video I won't be ordering"

eeeeeewwww...

[leesa]

13. Has he been out in the light of day in the last three years?

I think he's been dead all along. I mean really, he never goes out among non-Republicans, and, of course, Republicans being in the morality party would certainly lie to keep the myth of Cheney alive. Positively goulish, that man.

14. He's grinding his fangs more than usual because he leaked to Novak,.

and feels the heat coming.

:evilgrin:

16. It's called desperation

They are self-destructing. Sit back and watch!

[coldwatercyn]

19. It's called desperation

Right you are. They are on a downward spiral. :kick:

[cliss]

18. Heh heh, that's funny.

How much strength has he got left? After all, he's had how many triple bypass surgeries? And how many heart attacks? It's my understanding one of the valves still has a big hole in it...

So -- you can't really expect him to navigate in uncharted waters, can you? He needs to stay on his own turf. We can't have him exposed to screeching protesters, protest signs, demonstrations, heavens no!!!

That might put too much stress on his already fragile system.
