I've had my fill of Dick

[margotb822]

In case you haven't noticed, Dick Cheney has been touring the conservative media, engaging in a hate-fueled circle jerk as they fantasize about what the Bush era wasn't. And the media, even the mainstream media is just eating this up. But no one is talking about the obvious: Cheney is so fucking wrong, there's almost no words to describe. Seriously, I looked up "wrong" in a thesaurus and I think we have to use all of them just to get close to his level.

The thing that's really bothering me is that Cheney even has any credibility to discuss anything. Let's check it out:

1) Saddam Hussein was tied to Al Qaeda and 9/11. Wrong.

2) Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Wrong.

3) We will be greeted as liberators. Wrong.

4) The insurgency is in its last throes. Wrong.


And that's just some of the stuff dealing with Iraq. We won't even get into the rest of his "policies." The point is, not only was he wrong, he lied. He knew the facts didn't support his point of view, so he pressured analysts, waged a media war, and lied to the American people. We know this now.

The question remains, what credibility does he have left? Why would we listen when we know he had a "detainees" file in his office? When we know he purposely obscured and delayed the information provided to Congress? What legs does a man who started an unnecessary war for profit, while abandoning a legitimate mission directly related to 9/11, causing it to devolve and spread into neighboring countries, even stand on?

The answer: None. Dick Cheney is nothing but a crazy old man who's scared shitless about being prosecuted. For someone who was so wrong about so many things, it's shocking that people would even give any of his delusions credence. As if he knows what policies make and keep a country safe. More Americans have died in Iraq than they did in 9/11 and what does America have to show for it? A war in Pakistan, too? Super.

No, we don't want his opinion on what the Obama administration is doing wrong, considering his track record. We don't care if he doesn't like the closing of Guantanamo. Frankly, if he doesn't like it, we do. In fact, 63% of people still have an unfavorable view of Cheney. Compare that to the fact that 66% of people approve of Obama.

Seriously, I've had my fill of Dick, so stop trying to cram more down my throat.

And, Dick, I have a news flash for you, 9/11 happened in 2001. You don't get a pass for that. You were in office for eight years, so stop talking about the last seven and a half.

7. Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as too much Dick.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. Tongue in Cheek: Margot you ignorant slut!

I can't relate to that. I've not had dick... yet. I might not ever... maybe I just haven't met Mr. Right.

Please don't be angry with me, I'm in a good mood and your subject line just struck me as funny.

I've had enough of Darth, to be sure.

Don't those batteries ever go dead?

9. I thought I would never say this but

I have to agree. Too much Dick is a bad thing...


???Or is it???

(Let him just keep digging that hole a little deeper )

10. Oh my

Excellent thread title :rofl:

AND excellent links

Thanks for all your work.

:thumbsup:

11. On one level I want Dick to keep digging himself a deeper hole

But I was sick of him when he was hiding in his secret bunker.

Funniest bit of the week so far was when some airhead wanted to know if whoever was interviewing Dick had read him his Miranda rights. The co-host had to explain that only police have to do that, not talk show hosts. And that, yes, a prosecutor could use the tapes of Dick's interviews in court against him. :rofl:

[margotb822]

18. I think his hole can't get any deeper

He sucks so much and people dislike him so much, there's almost no one undecided on how they feel about him. I think he's using the "if I say it enough, it will be true" bit.

I hope they do prosecute him, and I hope they use the tapes of his pompous ass to get him. Ugh.

13. Criticizing Cheney to His Face Is Assault (2006)

By Matthew Rothschild
October 4, 2006
Steve Howards ... says he was taking two of his kids to their Suzuki piano camp in Beaver Creek, Colorado. They were walking across the outdoor public mall area when all of a sudden he saw Cheney there ... But the Secret Service did not take kindly to his comment.“About ten minutes later, I came back through the mall with my eight-year-old son in tow,” Howards recalls, “and this Secret Service man came out of the shadows, and his exact words were, ‘Did you assault the Vice President?’ ” ... “He grabbed me and cuffed my hands behind my back in the presence of my eight-year-old son and told me I was being charged with assault of the Vice President,”Howards recalls ... http://www.progressive.org/mag_mc100406

16. Nice work

And in a "Meet the Press" in December 2001, it was Cheney who said that "it's been pretty well confirmed" that 9/11 hijacker Mohamed
Atta met with a senior Iraqi intelligence in Prague five months before the attacks.
