Cheney planning to skip Bush administration reunion next week.


The New York Times reports that roughly 20 Bush administration all-stars — including Condoleezza Rice, Karen Hughes, and Dan Bartlett — are getting together next week for their first Bush administration reunion. “On tap is a dinner with the former president” and a brainstorming session :rofl:for the George W. Bush Policy Institute. The man who largely crafted Bush’s presidency, however, will not be at the party:

Not coming to next week’s session is former Vice President Dick Cheney, who in the final days of the administration argued with Mr. Bush about his failure to pardon Mr. Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby Jr., who was convicted of perjury and other counts for his role in the leak of Valerie Wilson’s employment with the Central Intelligence Agency.

Cheney also broke with the President on a same-sex marriage ban, firing Donald Rumsfeld, overturning Washington DC’s gun ban, and removing North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terror.

1. If Dickey misses the party, who gets to eat the heart out of the sacrifice?

[smoogatz]

2. Cheney will be having his own "party" in an undisclosed location...

[Demeter]

3. Is Rove Going?

Do you know anyone who might be willing to do a mission of mercy?

[alsame]

4. They'll have to

order out for the brains.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. How can there be a brainstorming session

when there aren't any brains?

[MrPerson]

8. It would have been neat to have one while in office.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. Maybe someone cemented the cesspool cover shut.

[MrPerson]

7. I actually think its kind of cool that they're having a reunion.

Parties are neat.

I wonder what's on the menu.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. Why would they be having a reunion just months after leaving office?

[MrPerson]

11. To coordinate future testimony.

[npk]

27. LOL

:rofl:

[Sal Minella]

16. "Reunion" is a euphemism for "Desperate Effort to Invent Ways To Raise Money

for a GWB Library That Nobody Wants (and therefore nobody is donating money to)."

That's my two cents. As usual, * is out of his depth, and he needs help from his co-conspirators to find ways to raise funds for his "legacy" -- as though the plummeting Wall Street numbers and rising death toll numbers in the Middle East aren't destined to be his legacy for all time.

[rcrush]

10. Is he still running that assassination squad?

Crazy Cheney is makin a list.

[malaise]

12. They're having a reunion five months after being kicked out of office

They're having a reunion when their own party didn't want either Bush or Cheney near the Rushican Convention.
These criminals are bat shit crazy.
Cheney's pissed that Scooter wasn't pardoned.
I'm pissed that the entire gang isn't wishing for a pardon from prison.

[chollybocker]

13. 'The W-20 Meetings'

Because G-20 meetings were not on their agenda this year. ;)

[BattyDem]

14. Reunion?

It hasn't even been 3 months since his administration ended! Do they miss each other already?

[babylonsister]

15. Maybe no one else understands them.

:(

[MrPerson]

17. No need for a party clown. They got that.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

18. Maybe he's going hunting!

[rainbow4321]

19. Wonder how much this "reunion" has to do with chimp's mental state

that The Globe reported?? Is this Condi's solution?? Get all of his former minions together so they can make chimpass feel better? They put on a big act for him so he feels like he still matters? Seems like the only reason to have a "reunion" just after 3 MONTHS??
He seems to have been in seclusion of late because there have been NO more reports of him making any public appearances here locally (except the Ranger game appearance)..unlike back in February when he made the rounds of elementary school, hardware store photo op, out to dinner one night "with friends". Every few says the local rag had news about his little outings.
Betcha we read soon "Condi's desperate attempt to save George Bush from a spiraling depression".

[babylonsister]

22. Maybe they're reuniting for an intervention?! nt

[rainbow4321]

23. Ding, ding, ding..we have a winner

Which will inclue a Condi sleepover, of course.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

20. Right up there with the Hindenburg Reunion

You just never get tired of reliving the good times. Hey! It wasn't ALL bad!

[mascarax]

21. Cheney will never forgive Dubya for not pardoning Scooter

What a crew though. Ugh.

[rainbow4321]

24. "The couple subscribe to the Dallas Morning News"

Ahem, they left out a sentence: "After Laura Bush went on **national TV** to bitch about the DMN not delivering their paper everyday, newspaper execs defended their organization, stating that the paper HAD been delivered promptly each morning to security booth stationed just outside the heavily guarded cul de sac".
--------

Yes, she did and yes, they REALLY did.

[classysassy]

25. My dream

of justice.While all of those criminals are together,herd them all unto a plane headed for the Hague.

[Kip Humphrey]

26. A fly on the wall...

BUSH: "Heh, heh, Remember when I was the Decider? Heh, Heh."

CONDI: Do you know? He has MY color skin..."

BARTLETT: "If only there were WMD..."

HUGHES: "You ARE the Decider, Sir."

BUSH: "I was the Leader..."

CONDI: "I've got to go."

[Vickers]

28. Let's just call it a "deferment."

:rofl:

Dick Cheney To Skip Bush Administration Reunion Next Week

Cheney now thinks the man who made him President should not be honored with his presents. Rove that also should be in jail will be a speaker, you can bet on that, praising his old boss. Fox News will put up a banner of praise to the man that headed the country into the deepest hole sense the great depression. Beyond me that the Media preachers still have followers, never could comprehend how greed seams matter more then reality.
