Cheney's deputy press secretary, Megan McGinn, said she couldn't comment on Kucinich's email because she hadn't seen it.

Asked whether Cheney had done anything he could be impeached for, McGinn replied: "The vice president has had nearly 40 years of government service and has done so in an honorable fashion."

1. I wonder what flavor of kook-aide Megan prefers. nt

[gratuitous]

2. Careful, Ms. McGinn

Well said, didn't get into any specifics, and claimed that somehow Cheney's record could be described as "honorable." Anything more, and she could find herself testifying at a trial.

To the rest of us, though, it fairly shouts, "Yes, he's guilty as sin. What are you gonna do about it, coppers?"

3. Wot? No "Go Fuck Yourself"?

:shrug:

7. Im quite sure he has said much worse that that in private...

and has probably offered to take him hunting...

4. "in an honorable fashion"

doesn't that mean "sorta like?"

Or maybe, to play on Colbert, "Honoriness"

Cheney: Four Decades of Honor--(Sort of)

BTW, why isn't Megan under indictment? Or claiming the 5th?

5. "has done so" is syntactically stooopid. "Has done so" what? "Had"?

Have you ever noticed that evil-doers send women out to speak for them?
Gubmint, bidness, all the same.

6. Planting your ass at the CIA for months at a time so you could cherry pick intelligence

to fit the war YOU wanted to get on...is honorable? Holding secret energy meetings with your oil cartel so you could divvy up the oil in Iraq, is honorable? LYING about WMD that you knew didn't exist, is honorable? Not supporting Gay rights when your own daughter id gay, is honorable? Telling a United States Senator to "GO FUCK YOURSELF" on the Senate floor, is honorable? Giving the company YOU worked for no-bid contracts so they could pad your pockets and your crony's pockets with MILLIONS of dollars, is honorable?

Screw Cheney and screw McGinn.

8. Did McGinn choke when she used Cheney and honorable in the same sentence?

40 years of corruption.
