1. Can somebody please inform the Dick, that he's no longer President? n/t

Give is a rest, Dick.

4. Pat Buchanan says Cheney won today's "debate"

and that Cheney should keep on talking because it's helping the GOP to surge.

(On Hardball today, for those who missed it.)

3. Cheney is going to lose this power struggle.

He is on the wrong side of history and up
against a man who can squash him like a bug.

Cheney would do well to crawl back into his hidy hole.

7. Especially when he's in a jail cell

8. Every time he opens his mouth, he increases the likelihood of this happening. nt

9. Keep talking, Dick

The more he talks, the more he provides for his own prosecution.

10. Obama's Commitment To Constitution A Welcome Break From Past

Obama's Commitment To Constitution A Welcome Break From Past (5/21/2009)


New Indefinite Detention Proposal Nevertheless Troubling

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: [phone]; [e-mail]

NEW YORK – The following can be attributed to Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, in response to President Obama's national security speech today:

"We welcome President Obama's stated commitment to the Constitution, the rule of law and the unequivocal rejection of torture. But unlike the president, we believe that continuing with the failed military commissions and creating a new system of indefinite detention without charge is inconsistent with the values that he expressed so eloquently at the National Archives today."

11. Dick Cheney Will Protect You, and Liberals Want Your First Born

But the problem is not only that Cheney's position on torture is untenable. He has no credibility. Cheney never served in the military and has no field experience. His views on the efficacy of torture are counter to expressed views of experts from the FBI, CIA, and multiple branches of the military. The man has zero standing on this issue.

Let us be clear how wrong Cheney has been on the most important national security issue of our time, the war in Iraq. He is equally wrong about torture as his many false statements about the war:

In 2005, he claimed the insurgency in Iraq was "in the last throes." It was not.

Cheney is a man with no military or field experience, who was wrong about every major aspect of Iraq, and who holds an untenable position on torture. And people take him seriously? Until he comes clean and answers those specific questions about torture, he needs to go back to his undisclosed locations.
