ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday rejected charges by Democrats that the Bush administration was mishandling Iraq and said: "If they are competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol."

During a campaign stop in Orlando, Cheney predicted that national security would dominate congressional elections in November and sought to rally Republicans amid dwindling popular support for President George W. Bush.

In Washington, Democratic National Committee spokesman Luis Miranda called the criticism of his party an attempt to divert attention from the situation in Iraq, which is torn by violence three years after the U.S.-led invasion.

Referring to a notoriously acerbic judge on the American Idol television talent contest, Miranda said, "Simon Cowell is more loved than this administration and its failed Iraq policy. Cheney wouldn't last long on American Idol."

1. The nerve of that chickenhawk piece of shit. Shame on you, Cheney. n/t

[graywarrior]

2. At least we could vote him off on AI

Fuckshit.

[VOX]

3. "Competent" is a word that Dead-eye Dick has no right to use.

"Competent" is the one thing that **for certain** BushCo is NOT:

World Trade Center = Gone
New Orleans = Gone
Stability in the Middle East = Gone
Privacy = Gone
Good will of our allies = Gone
etc., etc.

Cheney, of all the BushCo crooks and liars, has no business even tiptoeing around a word like "competent." :grr:

8. What date does he plan to go on?

Sure, the Dems COULD do a better job of fighting the war; but the important thing is that they do a better job of immediately withdrawing from the war.

9. "Fight" this war??? He hasn't.

Cheney the Chickenhawk has not fought this, or any other war. All he's done is sit back and rake in the profits bought with other people's children's lives.

10. They got nothing.

They are resorting to this "you think we're bad, look at them" crap because they have nothing left to fight with.

11. So far the BushCo has NOT shown us anything but BAD LEADERSHIP

and in many cases...NO LEADERSHIP at all.

12. Sure you can lead, Dick. You led us right into a ditch.

Let's hope the Democrats can get us out again, once you're indicted.
