Today's Republican talking point....

[Punkingal]

"Cheney is just devasted by this incident." They said it on the Today Show this morning...watch, now that is what the talking heads are going to be saying. They will probably try to spin that as his excuse for his "poor judgment" on how this was handled.

[woo me with science]

the one i keep hearing is this:

it took clintons 30 hours to report vince foster's suicide.

[Punkingal]

6. Someone really said that?????

These people are sicko. His body wasn't even found for several hours because of the location if I remember correctly.

[Straight Shooter]

8. To those who invoke the Clintons ... WTF has that got to do with anything?

I don't even know if it's true. Did the Clintons find Vince Foster? How long did it take for the Medical Examiner to rule that it was suicide? You don't just go reporting something of that magnitude without having the facts.

The difference being that Cheney and company had the facts, then proceeded to distort them. They were there when it happened. The Clintons weren't there.

Why can't the Repubs let go of waving the "Clinton did this" flag? It's really so juvenile and embarrassing.

Honestly, :wtf:

[Punkingal]

9. You're right,,,I know you're right...

Amazing how I still forget facts are irrelevant to this cabal. My Bad!!!

[HughBeaumont]

16. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-cause they have absolutely nothing else to run on?

Now that the "morals" and "values" thing just got shot along with Mr. Whittington . . . BLAME THE CLENIS!!!

[Flubadubya]

1. So the buzz word for today is "devastated"...

No you pock shot maniac... it's the country that is "devastated" over yours and the chimp's policies and contempt for the American people! :grr:

[Tesha]

2. You *BET* he's devastated: "Man, this will really fuck my chances in '08!"

> "Cheney is just devasted by this incident."

Yes, I'm sure he is devastated:

"Man, this will really fuck my chances in '08!"

That's what he's devastated about.

3. What, have they already given up on...

...constantly bringing up the urban myth about Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick already? They were hammering that one pretty good at the beginning.

[janx]

4. What a non-starter. Of course he's devastated!

Who on earth wouldn't be?

[neoblues]

11. Actually, of all people, it'd be Cheney...

I'd bet that of all the people, Cheney is one of the one's who wouldn't actually be devastated (with guilt, remorse, concern for the one you've hurt) over it. Though, even with Cheney's cold heart and negative outlook all considered, he's probably more disturbed (although negligibly) about the harm he's caused than Chimp would be. George wouldn't experience remorse for a heartbeat... it'd be their fault entirely, and "well, hey, accident's happen... what's for breakfast?". We have, without doubt, got two sociopaths at the head of our Executive Branch. All the more reason we must resist to the very last, the notion of the Unitary Executive. They have no conscience and no human compassion.

If only the other half of the country could see, understand and believe the truth. Alas, it's beyond them. They're too deeply deluded (and probably require the surgical installation of a glass naval as well).

5. Oh please.... don't insult us

These repuke spinmeisters are so friggin hamfisted,

This whole affair has been manipulated and spun from the start,,,,
apparently they don't see that the public outrage is over the cover-up.. not the shooting,

KEEP DIGGING DICK !!!
you're almost at 6 feet.

[rodeodance]

7. crap, now we are to have so my sympathy for him that he can not make

a single statement?--even put out a memo from himself (rather than 3rd person)

[Punkingal]

10. Pretty soon we will probably have Laura saying....

How we need to have some empathy for poor Dickie.

[Skittles]

12. I have no doubt he is devastated

by what it has done to his image, not his "friend"

[seabeyond]

13. even amarillo texas, small article but was cheney shot.....

in hunting accident. and cheneys responsibility in the shooting and accident. the thing with hunters,....... they dont embrace this. and many many in this area.

[Liberal In Texas]

14. Another one: "This hasn't affected the running of the country..."

it's like...nothing to see here, move along.

(Of course, getting a BJ from an intern and not telling the truth about it didn't affect running the country either. But that didn't stop the draconian expensive investigation and impeachment of Clinton.)

[Punkingal]

15. Well, at least Clinton was in his office...

When he got his blowjobs...so he could get right back to work.:evilgrin:

[Liberal In Texas]

18. And he probably went back to work with a a smile on his face...

...and didn't feel much like invading a country that hadn't done anything to us.

[Liberal In Texas]

19. Hey...whoever gave me the Heart...THANKS! That was nice of you.

[Innocent Smith]

17. I believe it

I really do. If I had done something really stupid and blasted one of my very old friends and there was a chance he could die I would feel horrible.
