Lynne Cheney campaigns, hails Iraq as 'faster than we overthrew British'

[Bluebear]

Lynne Cheney, the wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, urged Hoosiers last night to re-elect Indiana's seven Republican congressmen to keep President Bush's agenda on course.

Speaking to 300 of the party faithful gathered for Harrison County's annual Lincoln Day dinner at a church hall in Corydon, Cheney recounted Bush's domestic and foreign policy initiatives. Despite war, the terrorist attacks in 2001, unprecedented natural disasters and economic recession, Cheney said, "we should be very proud of the way we've come through."

The U.S. economy has shown "incredible resilience," growing faster than those of Japan and the European Union combined, while creating 5 million new jobs, she said. The Bush tax cuts, meanwhile, have returned $880 billion to American workers and have fueled the country's economic rebound, Cheney said....

In nearly three years, America has overthrown Saddam Hussein and helped Iraqis adopt a constitution and hold free elections. That's a speedy turnaround -- and it happened more quickly than our own country overthrew the British and adopted the U.S. Constitution, Cheney said. Of the Iraq War, she said, "We should be very proud of having helped in that effort."

1. The best cheerleading team in the world can't save a team with

no good athletes.

I hope Lynn stopped into Arnie's Pizza while she was in Indiana. It's great pizza.

[marmar]

2. That is one disturbed woman...

But given her spouse, perhaps we can understand why. :crazy:

[Canuckistanian]

3. What a clown - no regard for truth OR history

[NanceGreggs]

4. Well, looks like Lynne Cheney ...

... has been dipping into my avatar again!

You couldn't make statements like that and be straight and sober.

"The Bush tax cuts, meanwhile, have returned $880 billion to American workers ..."

Of course, you have to keep in mind that people like the Cheneys consider Bill Gates to be your average American worker.

What an idiot.

5. Someone should explain to her that

in 1776, we were the insurgents...

[Gabi Hayes]

6. too funny. what a FFFFIing BIITCH! tell it to GM and Delco and

that other parts maker of theirs, who wants to cut pay by FIFTY percent!

she's the biggest C-word on earth, including Condi

[niyad]

20. okay I object to using the c-word about her--since she doesn't deserve

anything so special.

The feminine 'cu' word-base is also the source of the modern 'cow', applied to female animals, one of the earliest recorded forms of which is the Old Frisian 'ku', indicating the link with 'cu'. Other early forms include the Old Saxon 'ko', the Dutch 'koe', the Old Higher German 'kuo' and 'chuo', the German 'kuhe' and 'kuh', the Old Norse 'kyr', the Germanic 'kouz', the Old English 'cy' (also 'cua' and 'cyna'), and the Middle English 'kine' and 'kye'.

The prefix is also been linked to elliptical (thus, perhaps, symbolically vaginal) terms such as 'cucuteni' ('womb-shaped Roman vase'), 'cod' ('bag'), 'cubby-hole' ('snug place'), 'cove' ('concave chamber'), and 'keel' ('convex ridge'). The Italian 'guanto' ('glove') and the Irish 'cuan' ('harbour') may also be related, as they share with 'vagina' the literal meaning 'receptacle'. Even 'cudgel' ('weapon') has been suggested as another link, though a cudgel seems more like a cock than a cunt, and indeed none of these terms have the demonstrably feminine associations of 'cunt' or 'cow'.

'Cu' also has associations with knowledge: 'can' ('to know') evolved from the Middle English 'cunne', 'cunae', and 'cun', which are in turn derived from the Old Frisian 'kunna', the Old Saxon 'cunnan', the Dutch 'kunnen', and the Old Higher German 'kunnan', all of which contain the 'cu'/'ku' prefix. RF Rattray highlights the connection between femininity and knowledge: "The root cu appears in countless words from cowrie, Cypris, down to cow; and the root cun has two lines of descent, the one emphasising the mother and the other knowledge: Cynthia and <...> cunt, on the one hand, and cunning, on the other" (1961).

Indeed, there is a significant linguistic connection between sex and knowledge: one can 'conceive' both an idea and a baby, and 'ken' means both 'know' and 'give birth'. 'Ken' shares a genealogical meaning with 'kin' and 'kind', from the Old English 'cyn' and the Gothic 'kuni'. It also has vaginal connotations: "<'kin'> meant not only matrilineal blood relations but also a cleft or crevice, the Goddess's genital opening" (Barbara G Walker, 1983).

The Latin 'cognoscere', related to 'cognosco', 'cognitum', and 'cognate', may indeed be cognate with the sexual organ 'cunt'. Knowledge-related words such as 'connote', 'canny', and 'cunning' may also be etymologically related to it, though such a connection is admittedly tenuous. Less debatable is the connection between 'cunctipotent' and 'cunt': both are derived from the Latin 'cunnus'. Geoffrey Chaucer's 'cunt'-inspired term 'queynte' is yet another link between sex and knowledge, as he uses it to mean both 'vagina' and 'cunning'.

9. "We should be very proud of..."

...turning Iraq into a breeding ground for terrorists.

...increasing hatred of the US around the world.

...forgetting about bin Laden and the Al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan and Pakistan.


Someone shove a sock in her mouth. She's an embarrassment to the human species.

10. Say, Lynn - What an attractive hunting companion Dick had, eh?

First we have heard of Lynn since the drunken shooting. And isn't that Ambassador just a hot thing for Dick to go hunting with? To those of you who are young, this is an older woman. For us older guys, this is an Older Woman. Compare. Dick obviously likes a "type."

[Democrats_win]

14. No kidding! Either Lynn has let herself go or anger makes you ugly.

[BR_Parkway]

11. Someone tell Gonzalez that wiretapping Washington did wasn't working

out any better than Shrubs.

[Kurovski]

12. She lives in a hazy world of Quail hunts and defibrillators.

She's completely out of touch with the rest of the planet.

[Gabi Hayes]

13. didn't you mean vibrators?

god, I love the internets~

[Kurovski]

21. I guess she'd pretty much have to given the fact that Dick's

affections lie somewhere in "The Great Outdoors".

Their situation would be sad if they were actually closer to civilized humans in nature, rather than mouldering bags of reprehensible shit. If only they weren't such unconscionably wretched purveyors of poverty, criminality, venality, death, racism, sexism, ignorance, hypocrisy, blasphemy, torture, and fascism.

[Vickers]

15. Wow, she looks like the drunk lady down the street.

Lay off the sauce, babe!

[Bluebear]

17. She is TAWDRY. "NOT a good person." nt

[greekspeak]

16. Way to go USA! You overthrew a dictator of and have kinda not yet lost

a war in a third world, militarily toothless country. And all it has taken is the emboldening of terrorists, scores of human lives, a few billion dollars, and only 3 years. Congratulations on Sorta Not Losing in Iraq! WooHoo! :sarcasm: This woman is a real bottom feeder. As with the rest of the trash that populates that party, I wonder how they sleep at night. Those conscience-ectomies are wonderous.

18. unfortunately, most americans will believe them

If we start pulling out troops and declaring victory, many of our fellow citzens will shake their head, say thank god it's over and move on. Don't even try to bring up anything negative about it at that point.

[patdem]

19. We are to the Iraqis what Britan was to us...and who overthrew whom?

Who wrote some goobledy gook poem...one that could sound correct only it made NO sense at all? That is EXACTLY what these people are presenting goobledy gook!
