Significant words: Minutes before he walked into the House chamber, VP Dick Cheney, one of the most prominent Republican elder statesmen in America, just told me he is “deeply disappointed” in the Republican leadership and the way it has handled Jan 6.

11. Dick Cheney is a war criminal

Hey, DUers!

Don't forget the many crimes and misdemeanors that Cheney committed as Vice President. He is not an "elder statesman."

Cheney is a criminal.

17. That he is, but the GOP has fallen so low that their current members make even him look good

by comparison.

[monkeyman1]

21. no more than LBJ !

[PJMcK]

22. Maybe so

But this is a Democratic website, amigo. No bashing Dems, eh?

LBJ did far more good for this country than any Republican since Eisenhower.

12. the absolute best thing that The Daily Show

ever did (with Jon Stewart) was the Cheney shooting the guy in the face.

16. See also Karl Rove's essay in WSJ yesterday. They're getting back the band.

This might get good. Force of evil takes on force of evil.

19. I'm not sure he matters anymore.

Ironically, there was a time when we thought Uncle Dick represented the crazy side of the party.

Fabricating evidence to start a war is just not crazy enough anymore. I guess it's mainstream.

I'll see your lies and raise you a coup attempt!

20. Damn, that's not a good thing.....
