Cheney Off to Wyoming Finally!

Dick Cheney gave what is supposed to be his last interview before leaving office over at Fox News this past Sunday. I didn’t get a chance to catch it but the sound bites out of the interview are classic Dick Cheney without the Dick Nixon expletives. More or less he called Biden and Ass that has no clue as to what Constitutional law is, chucked the bird at the Congress, and declared George W. Bush a saint that defended the Constitution. And he was drop dead serious when he said it.

I’ll wait till you stop laughing before I continue with the post. Take a few minutes. Okay, you just peed yourself… Go change your pants and get back to the post afterward. Don’t be ashamed, there is an elderly gentleman in Boston that just soiled his pants altogether laughing. Now we have a woman in New York that needs to change too. London, Munich, two folks in Ontario, and now the Australians are pissing themselves laughing. Yes, I have a pissy pants locator on this blog. We monitor the warmness in your crotch from satellites overhead for drastic changes in temperature that could signal urine or a nuclear attack.

Oh damn, Seattle just went yellow on the warning meter.

If you ever wondered how dangerous Dick and George were as Co-President then all you have to read is this line from the “More powerful than a speeding train” Vice President during his interview with Chris Wallace at Fox News…

Vice President Cheney mocked Vice President-elect Joe Biden's grasp of the Constitution, defended former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and said President Bush "doesn't have to check with anybody" before launching a nuclear attack. - Fox News

Did you ever wonder who initiated the wiretapping of US citizens? Who ran the show on surveillance right here at home on all those domestic terrorist posing as soccer moms? Dick did it! He ran the whole damn show and admitted it to Chris Wallace. He never mentions that the President asked him to oversee it, nope. He ran it all! Check it out for yourself…

WALLACE: Let's drill down into some of the specific measures that you pushed — first of all, the warrantless surveillance on a massive scale, without telling the appropriate court, without seeking legislation from Congress.

Why not, in the aftermath of 9/11 and the spirit of national unity, get approval, support, bring in the other branches of government?

CHENEY: Well, let me tell you a story about the terror surveillance program. We did brief the Congress. And we brought in...

WALLACE: Well, you briefed a few members.

CHENEY: We brought in the chairman and the ranking member, House and Senate, and briefed them a number of times up until — this was — be from late '01 up until '04 when there was additional controversy concerning the program.

At that point, we brought in what I describe as the big nine — not only the intel people but also the speaker, the majority and minority leaders of the House and Senate, and brought them into the situation room in the basement of the White House.

I presided over the meeting. We briefed them on the program, and what we'd achieved, and how it worked, and asked them, "Should we continue the program?" They were unanimous, Republican and Democrat alike. All agreed — absolutely essential to continue the program.

I then said, "Do we need to come to the Congress and get additional legislative authorization to continue what we're doing?" They said, "Absolutely not. Don't do it, because it will reveal to the enemy how it is we're reading their mail."

That happened. We did consult. We did keep them involved. We ultimately ended up having to go to the Congress after the New York Times decided they were going to make the judge to review all of — or make all of this available, obviously, when they reacted to a specific leak.

But it was a program that we briefed on repeatedly. We did these briefings in my office. I presided over them. We went to the key people in the House and Senate intel committees and ultimately the entirely leadership and sought their advice and counsel, and they agreed we should not come back to the Congress. - Fox News

By the way, you can check the entire transcript from Fox News at the above mentioned link. I could not make this stuff up if I wanted to.

For some odd reason I am truly surprised that we survived the last eight years of Cheney. When he wasn’t shooting his hunting buddies he was actually looking for ways to make sure all of us were good little goose steppers in line with the Furer… I mean President. Could you even imagine what kind of world this would be if Cheney ever became President? I’m thinking lots of mushroom clouds and my grandchildren glowing at night.

Go back to Wyoming Dick and spy on some cattle or something. Those big eyes are watching for something, what do they see that you don’t? Could there be terrorists in those fields? Grab your gun Dick! (Lawyers and friends duck)

Bridge To Nowhere Grows Legs

Chris Wallace over at Fox News is calling the McCain campaign on the carpet for the so called bridge to nowhere that Governor Palin has flip flopped on. In a grilling session with Rick Davis, Wallace fact checked the bridge to nowhere and Davis had to point the finger everywhere else but where the lie actually lives. In Governor Palin’s lap. She backed the bridge to nowhere, she ran for Governor on the bridge to nowhere, the congress killed the bridge to nowhere, not Governor Palin. She should have used performance bonds. She did see fit to take a large chunk of the money to build the access road to a bridge that will never exist. Spend two million on a ferry and blow the rest on other projects in Alaska.

I’m beginning to think that Fox News is tired of carrying the water for the blatant lies coming out of the McCain campaign recently. Fox News has to protect its own credibility as a legitimate news source, if they do not point out the obvious truth then they might as well turn the news channel into yet another home shopping channels to see what they can sell next week. Even the best spin doctors like Rick Davis can’t paddle the bridge to nowhere upstream during a flood. Like a man about to drown, he is giving it his best effort though. If Rick Davis manages to sell the bridge to nowhere that Palin has not listed on Ebay, then I have a certain bridge in Brooklyn that I just happened to have available.

I ran across this story on Memeorandum over at Think Progress and I could not help but add my own thoughts to it. Sarah Palin lied about the bridge to nowhere, if she didn't lie then it wouldn't be worthy of the Sunday news shows. Sarah Palin has put a sense of distrust in the minds of people and she did it all by herself. The only problem is that she now has her future boss following her leads including the lie about the Governors jet that she supposedly sold on Ebay. Never happened. Another lie. Either McCain is a fool or nobody in his campaign is handing him the current events on what is going on with his Vice President pick Governor Sarah Palin. I'm betting that the Maverick is showing his temper loud and clear to all of his campaign staff. This whole scenario shows very poor judgement on his part as a Presidential candidate.

Kudos to Chris Wallace for a stand up “Tim Russert” like interview. Don’t take sides, just ask the question, point out what the people in question said that is documented, and simply wait for the explanation.

My thoughts are running towards the arguement of how long John McCain will let his credibility and his final run for the office of President bleed? Check back here for the possible news that McCain lets Palin go and inserts Vice President candidate B?
