Cheney responds to Hagel's criticism

[tuvor]

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney shot back at Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who has accused the Bush administration of playing "a pingpong game with American lives" by sending more U.S. troops into Iraq.

"Let's say I believe firmly in Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican," Cheney said. "But it's very hard sometimes to adhere to that where Chuck Hagel is involved."

("The other ten commandments can go fuck themselves," Cheney said.)

1. or:

"Let's say I believe firmly in the Constitution," Cheney said. "But it's very hard sometimes to adhere to that when my personal finances are involved."

2. So it looks like they are trying to set Hagel up as the messiah

who goes against * and Cheney. Look at Hagel's voting record posted in another thread. He voted with this admin. more that any other Senator in 2006. He can protest the war till he's blue in the face. He doesn't fool me, and neither does Dick the dick.

We need to keep a close watch on Hagel. His friends count the votes in this country.

5. "I'm Vice President, and They're Not"

In the interview, Cheney also said he doesn't spend any time worrying about how the public or the media view him. When pressed to react to personal criticism from people with whom he has worked before, Cheney said: "Well, I'm vice president and they're not.

6. "....neener, neener, neener!"

"I'm the Vice President and you're not!"

Sounds like a perfect match for The Decider.
