Lynne Cheney, Mary Matlin: "Cheney has the same kind of sense of humor Imus has."

[Bluebear]

In January 2005, on the day of Bush’s second inaugaration, Cheney and his wife, Lynne, granted Imus a lengthy, exclusive interview, in which Mrs. Cheney affectionately referred to Imus as “the I-man.”

Asked to explain why Cheney chose Imus’ show for the big inaugaration day interview, long-time Cheney adviser Mary Matalin, who negotiated the appearance for the vice president, told the New York Times: The vice president, she said, “has a wry sense of humor. He has the same sense of humor that Imus has. He thinks Imus is funny. He gets good guests on. And he asks good questions. It’s not really strategic or complicated. Not everything we do has to work on 50 different levels.”

1. I have no doubt

[AX10]

2. She just admitted that her husband is a proud bigot!

Thanks for the confirmation!

[Greeby]

3. The Dick? Sense of humour?

DOES.NOT.COMPUTE

[City Lights]

4. That's your problem, honey.

:nopity:

[coco77]

5. We know...

[Buzz Clik]

10. No kidding. Did Mary think she was breaking a big story?

Or was this her way of facing her demons?

[Phredicles]

6. I dunno: Imus never shot anyone in the face,

and that's quite possibly the most humorous thing the Dick of Death has ever done.

[fasttense]

7. That figures

The VP likes racist and sexist jokes. He probably likes jokes about pathetically poor people too. Amazing that she thinks it is something to brag about. Most Americans found Imus's comments appalling but not our VP.

8. Thanks for this enlightening post, Bluebear.

And thank you Lynne. This pretty much sums up the Cheney/Bush approach to political conflict and their link to hate radio.

Now, where's my countdown clock?

[me b zola]

9. Imagine that

[MADem]

11. Of course, she found nothing funny about Imus calling Dick a war criminal in later years. NT

[partylessinOhio]

12. What happened to HER?

She always was fugly but she looks three sheets to the wind.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. She's a lipless, bloodless wonder. It's a chicken or egg thing.

Does she look like a grey bloodless denizen of the undead because she's lived with Dick all these years or did she marry him because she's a grey bloodless denizen of the undead?

I will say though, something about her now looks malformed, ill, and desperate: like she's finally been forced to lie in the bed of her making.

[terrya]

13. Dick and his impish "fuck you" sense of humor.

Gosh, what a delicious wit he has.

[Cha]

14. Does the dick's wife have any

idea how simple she sounds?

Dick gets imus' humor..and Dick gets limpbaugh's humor..and Dick gets the chimp's humor..too fucking bad these guys have no sense of humor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Cheney has no sense of decency, let alone a sense of humor

What does that woman see in that evil man?

[katmondoo]

16. She is as evil as he is

I couldn't stand her during the Clinton years, when I realized she was Dick's wife I had a complete meltdown.

[Disturbed]

18. Mr. and Mrs. Cheney are scum.

It is disgusting that these two monsters represent America.

[whistle]

17. That statement gives congress the right to impeach his racist-bigoted ass!

....Lynne Cheney will go down as one of America's most notorious fascists, perhaps rivaling the worst of Hitler's SS women.

Irma Grese

During World War II Irma Grese was the most notorious of the female Nazi war criminals. She was born on October 7, 1923, to a agricultural family and left school in 1938 at the age of 15. She worked on a farm for six months, then in a shop and later for two years in a hospital. Then she was sent to work at the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp.

She became a camp guard at the age of 19, and in March 1943 she was transferred to Auschwitz. She rose to the rank of Senior SS-Supervisor in the autumn of 1943, in charge of around 30,000 women prisoners, mainly Polish and Hungarian Jews. This was the second highest rank that SS female concentration camp pesonnel could attain.

After the war survivors provided extensive details of murders, tortures, cruelties and sexual excesses engaged in by Irma Grese during her years at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. They testified to her acts of pure sadism, beatings and arbitrary shooting of prisoners, savaging of prisoners by her trained and half starved dogs, to her selecting prisoners for the gas chambers.

She habitually wore heavy boots and carried a whip and a pistol. She used both physical and emotional methods to torture the camp's inmates and enjoyed shooting prisoners in cold blood. She beat some of the women to death and whipped others mercilessly using a plaited whip.

In her hut was found the skins of three inmates that she had had made into lamp shades.

In January, 1945, she returned to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp before being transferred to Bergen-Belsen in March.

After the Kommandant of Bergen-Belsen, Josef Kramer, Irma Grese was the most notorious defendant in the Belsen Trial, held between September 17 and November 17, 1945. Grese was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. She was executed on December 13, 1945.

19. That's disturbing information

[bliss_eternal]

20. So it's a "sense of humour" now...?

As opposed to taking pleasure at laughing at other's differences, and calling them names to make one feel superior?
Thanks, Lynne for letting us all know that. :eyes:

I guess Cheney wept the day they stopped running those bigoted animated features before films. He probably wears black every year on the day that commemorates the abolition of slavery.

[SoCalDem]

21. Sheez.. Dick wants' Imus' timeslot?

Gimmee my own show or I'll blast ya in the kisser..ya varmint:)

[Gato Moteado]

22. what's up with lynne's head?

she's always reminded me of one of those horror flick aliens with the giant heads. she's a freak of nature.

shit, her head is so big, if dirty dick went quail hunting with her he could pepper her pretty good without even trying.

24. This is just WAY too much chuckle ammo.
