Dick move: Cheney hits Obama on handshake

[Marsala]

The most unpopular political figure in America again attacks the most popular one. With enemies like these, who needs friends?

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21472.html

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that President Obama’s handshake with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez “was not helpful” and could lead “foes” of the U.S. to “think they're dealing with a weak president.”

1. I heard that Russian doctors have grown a Cheney on a man's

arm since he was born with such a small one. Who knew you could do such things??

[monmouth]

2. He just cannot come to grips with the fact that #1, we dont give a

rats ass what he thinks, and #2, his opinions don't matter. He doesn't matter. He's the National Dick and that's how he will be remembered. Twenty-one beautiful horses dead down here in Wellington and this sick SOB is still spouting off at the mouth. Life's just not fair sometimes.

10. Cue that pic of rummy and

sadam shaking hands that they didn't give a shit about, either.

[ecstatic]

5. What universe is Cheney in? He's still talking

despite everyone asking why he doesn't just STFU. He's sealing his own fate, IMO. Prosecute his azz, Holder!

Cheney, Visiting Kazakhstan, Wades Into Energy Battle

Mr. Cheney's visit to Kazakhstan, on Russia's southern rim, highlighted the balancing of United States interests, trying to counter Russian dominance in energy matters by cozying up to states like Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan that have spotty human rights records and limited democracy — and plenty of oil.

"The United States is trying to strike a difficult balance," said Tanya Kostello, an analyst at Eurasia Group, a New York risk consultancy. "It is trying to encourage the regime in Kazakhstan to move toward democracy while maintaining the economic ties."

The Kazakh president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, won a third six-year term in December 2005, with 91 percent of the vote in an election that international observers said was flawed. Two opposition politicians have been murdered in six months, raising the specter of instability.

Kazakhstan produced 1.2 million barrels of oil a day last year but is expected to pump 3 million a day by 2015.

ASTANA, Kazakhstan -- A day after criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin for political repression, Vice President Dick Cheney held a series of friendly meetings with the autocratic leader of Kazakhstan to discuss future U.S. investment in developing its huge oil resources.

The meetings in Kazakhstan's glittering new capital, Astana, underscored just how much oil -- and access to it -- matter in the current global economy.

Thursday, at a conference of fledgling Eastern European democracies in Lithuania, the vice president blasted Russia for its political shortcomings, saying Mr. Putin's government has "unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of the people" ...

Waiting for Cheney to be prosecuted for war crimes

12. Thank you.

:thumbsup:

[Uncle Joe]

17. Yes, that's all true but other than that, what have you got?

Now that I think about it, he's a piss poor shot too and above the law, making the sheriff wait until the next day before he could investigate Cheney shooting his attorney friend in the face, probably because the President of Vice was either drunk or they needed a day to get their stories straight.

I can't help but wonder if his attorney friend disagreed at the wrong time with the legality of their policies promoting torture while Cheney had the hot blood-lust running through his veins of shooting defenseless farm raised birds?:shrug:

[Jennicut]

13. Memo from the World to Dick Cheney: STFU already!

Why does anyone report what comes out of his digesting, lying, war criminal mouth?

[Starry Messenger]

14. I wish the Penguin would retire from public life.

Doesn't he have grandchildren now? Someone to take up a great deal of his free time? Ridiculous.

[SIMPLYB1980]

15. Really come on Dick, even Bush is smart enough to know

when to STFU!

[paulk]

16. Obama needs to smack this asshole down

It's unheard of for a former VP to be publicly criticizing the foreign policy of a sitting administration.

[WinkyDink]

18. Who?

[Avalux]

19. Weak men don't shake hands, DICK.

Instead, they play bully and use scare tactics; torture. Just like you and GEORGE did for 8 years. Weak men abuse others.
