Cheney: Don’t blame political class for Tucson massacre

US system 'designed for political combat,' former VP says


In an interview with NBC's Jamie Gangel, set to air on the Today Show Tuesday, Cheney made it clear the blame should be laid with the alleged gunman, and not with politicians or media pundits.

"I think our politics can get pretty rough at times. Having been vice president for eight years, maybe I'm more sensitive to it than others," Cheney said. "I think we have to be cautious I guess about jumping to conclusions here about the extent to which the sort of the political environment contributed to or caused this event. I think the event was caused by a deranged individual. And that's where we ought to look in terms of trying to assess guilt."

...................................

"I'm reluctant to judge our politicians based upon the act of what appears to be a lone, crazed gunman who perpetrated the crime," Cheney said.

Cheney also reiterated his assertion that President Obama will be a one-term president, dismissing the president's recent bounce in the polls.

1. Yeah, fucking right. Sensitive my ass.

[steve2470]

2. Sensitive + Cheney in one sentence makes no sense nt

[dennis4868]

3. And Cheney's prediction....

that the Iraqis would throw flowers at us after the downfall of Sadaam worked out really well, huh?

WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT THIS CRIMINAL HAS TO SAY ANYMORE....

[Jefferson23]

4. From the guy who told Leahy, Fuck you.

Does he even remotely realize how many Americans want to see his sorry ass on trial for war crimes??


I can't stand this bastard free as a bird spewing crap unchallenged..ugh.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Fortunately, you'll never know how many terms he serves, Dick.

You're in the Devil's waiting room.

[Raine]

18. Yup Dick is "Shovel Ready"

and the Devil is anxious to stoke the fire with him. :evilfrown:

[baldguy]

6. How "sensitive" is he?

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Please remind me of the meaning of that pic...

It's on the tip of my brain, but......

[baldguy]

17. 60th anniversary of the liberation of Aushwitz.

A very solemn occasion - for most people.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. I am reading an article that describes Cheney as "almost autistic" in his

indifference to the thoughts and feelings of others.
“He has the least interest in human beings of anyone I have ever met,” says John Perry Barlow, his former supporter.

Cheney’s freshman-year roommate, Steve Billings, agrees: “If I could ask Dick one question, I’d ask him how he could be so unempathetic.”

Great article, about his role in the Nixon, Ford WH, and how he screwed up both of those presidencies.

7. Quite frankly, Cheney's " one-term president " prediction sounds more like a coded threat.

[Sal Minella]

15. I think that's the way we're meant to take it.

One just never knows when another "lone, crazed gunman" will pop up on the horizon.

[Segami]

29. It only takes one crazed gunman to make Cheney's words a reality. Some, who share the

Cheney's " one-term president " sentiments see themselves as nothing short of ideological ' patriots ' who might heed Cheney's words and move to act. Such coded tactics has been going on forever.

[Sal Minella]

32. He's good -- there's nothing SPECIFIC in what he says, nothing you

can put your finger on and say, "You are egging these weak-minded gun-crazy 'patriots' on to murder."

Cheney's words are so carefully parsed that he could just throw up his hands and say, "Ooopsie, another lone crazed gunman! Tut, tut!"

[OnlinePoker]

8. ...reluctant to judge our politicians based upon the act of what appears to be a lone, crazed gunman

Is this the lone, crazed gunman who shot his lawyer buddy in the face and to this day has yet to apologize for doing it?

[malaise]

9. Fuck Cheney

The pulseless dick of a war criminal won't be around for the results.

[hlthe2b]

10. Cheney is enough to make me regret the technological advances

in care of advanced heart disease... Ok, maybe not, but damn.... :mad:

[otohara]

11. Deranged Individuals Invaded Iraq

on falsified information and still the media treats him with kid gloves.

[sharesunited]

12. No matter whom the GOP runs? I'll take that bet!

[tanyev]

13. Dick Cheney is always wrong.

The Curse of Dick Cheney
The veep’s career has been marred by one disaster after another

The Cheney jinx first manifested itself at the presidential level back in 1969, when Richard Nixon appointed him to his first job in the executive branch. It surfaced again in 1975, when Gerald Ford made Cheney his chief of staff and then — with Cheney’s help — lost the 1976 election. George H.W. Bush, having named Cheney secretary of defense, was defeated for re-election in 1992. The ever-canny Ronald Reagan was the only Republican president since Eisenhower who managed to serve two full terms. He is also the only one not to have appointed Dick Cheney to office.

This pattern of misplaced confidence in Cheney, followed by disastrous results, runs throughout his life — from his days as a dropout at Yale to the geopolitical chaos he has helped create in Baghdad. Once you get to know his history, the cycle becomes clear:

First, Cheney impresses someone rich or powerful, who causes unearned wealth and power to be conferred on him. Then, when things go wrong, he blames others and moves on to a new situation even more advantageous to himself.

“Cheney’s manner and authority of voice far outstrip his true abilities,” says Chas Freeman, who served under Bush’s father as ambassador to Saudi Arabia. “It was clear from the start that Bush required adult supervision — but it turns out Cheney has even worse instincts. He does not understand that when you act recklessly, your mistakes will come back and bite you on the ass.”

16. The real kick in the ass is when he passes away

ie: dies, there will be a state funeral for him with flags at half mast for a real draft dodger and war criminal.

[Loge23]

20. I'll offer a toast to better days

When this cretin finally finishes dying, I'll pop a cork and offer a toast to whatever glimmer of hope we still will have.

[tinymontgomery]

22. Sounds like they're going to try and steal it. Is he laying

the groundwork??

[quaker bill]

24. And where were those WMD?

Cheney's ability to prognosticate leaves a tad to be desired.

[spanone]

[MattBaggins]
