How come Gibbs is being held to a higher standard than Cheney? Cheney's defenders are pathetic. . .

[wndycty]

. . .Cheney crossed all sorts of lines with his accusation that this country is less safer under President Obama***, yet Gibbs is being criticized for defending his boss? This is just ridiculous and shows how the media looks for issues to create and attempts to manufacture outrage.

The real story is how much of an UNPATRIOTIC asshole Dick Cheney is, not Gibbs' response.

***Just think, any day that Cheney and his ilk have a President Obama is a VERY BAD DAY FOR THEM. . .LOL.

1. Or is it because Obama is going on the Tonight Show and blowing off the Gridiron Dinner?

Fuck them anyway. Bunch of overpaid high schoolers.

2. why does the sun rise in the east?

He's a dem. 'nuf said.

[ecstatic]

3. do you think Cheney is talking all that trash so that if Obama's admin goes

after him for his crimes then he can play victim and say it's being done out of revenge?

4. Cheney basically comes across as an unremorseful alcoholic child molester

The guy literally seems to have no conscience whatsoever. He appears to live in such a narcissistic, myopic world of his own sucked-up vortex that blame and even a proven history of failure are not part of his past.

If he was playing a game, he'd never let you score because he'd keep moving the finish line and just say that the game isn't over yet.

Paging karma... paging karma... war criminal liar in aisle three.

5. Because Gibbs is a far better man than "Cheeney" and everyone knows it.

Of course that's not what you're really asking but I never miss an opportunity to sing the praises of the Gibbinator. :)

In all seriousness, the GOP is smart enough to know that this upcoming appearance on Leno will only HELP the President and HURT them. The man is charming, attractive and when he opens his mouth, flowers and butterflies come out.

In other words, they're screwed and they're doing some preemptive striking.
