Oh, this just cries out, "Mock me!" Doesn’t it?
"I’ve given serious thought to writing a book," Cheney told conservative radio host Sean Hannity this week. "I never have, and my family has been bugging me about it. I’ve got 40 years since I came to town to stay 12 months. I’ve got a lot of stories to tell, and a few scores to settle. So I’m giving that some serious thought."
"I like the "scores to settle" part, because if I were you, I’d have a few scores to settle as well," Hannity said.
"No, no," Cheney said, laughing. "I’m going out with a good heart."
Hmmmmm. . . let’s see. So much snark, so little time.

Yeah, I got nuthin’. You? Because we sure as hell owe Dick Cheney the best title EVAR after everything he’s given us the last few years.

Simple titles are the best:
Go F Yourself
“Other Commitments”
Not flashy, but most appropriate if you know your Dick.
“No, no,” Cheney said, laughing. “I’m going out with a good heart.” Considering the amount of artificial electronics that are keeping Cheney going, this statement alone tells us all we need to know about the ‘truthiness’ of any book he writes. He may be going out with ‘a really good pacemaker-defribrulator’, but he is definitely NOT going out with a good heart. The only bigger lie would have been if he had said that his ’soul is at peace’ – because we all know the whereabouts of that sympathetic organ.

Oh, go with the obvious: STORIES TO TELL, SCORES TO SETTLE: the autobiography of Dick Cheney.
It’s perfect.
A Dick in the Bush is worth two in the hand.
Cheney won’t write an honest biography. It would be shameful. Whatever he writes will be a fiction. And why, with all of his money, did he have to get his daughter a supervisory job within government? Isn’t her trust fund adequate?
As a past municipal republican chairman, let me just say that dickie boy completely perverted not just our party, but more importantly, our constitution. I, and many other republicans are happy to see him go. Unlike our vice president, I voted for and support President-elect Obama. Unlike our vice president, I know that Obama will put Americans first.
Thanks Christy!
Cheney’s “good heart” was paid for by the American taxpayer.
Suggestion for book title: “A Dick in the Bush is Worth Five in the Hand”
The only possible title is “Fuck You”
I just listened to Bush’s farewell address. He’s so sick he looks upon 9/11 as his glory days.
Good riddance.

The possibilities really are endless, aren’t they?
OT: I had to visit this site after watching Jane on C-SPAN this morning. It’s now in my favorites!
As for a title for Cheney’s book, how about:
The Essence of Dick
Cheney in a Bottle (only works if you pronounce his name with the long ‘e’ sound, as he, his family, and Chris Matthews apparently does)
Dick with Bush

Jane did a totally fabulous job; what a great representative for the progressive movement! Was on pins the entire time in hopes that a pup would manage to get through but, all in all, a favorable audience response to the material she had time to present. And, fortunately, the moderator didn’t waste precious time asking inane questions like the blog name origin. *g*

We may imagine a flood, of Biblical proportion, of ‘tell-all’, chest-beating, sacred cowing books of the most moo-ving sort and so on …
To date, Gonzales, Laura and George, among the ‘biggies’ are already signed up for lucrative ‘deals’ (though how the ‘base’ will afford ALL of these weighty tomes, at retail prices, is a perplexalation …)
No doubt, some of the smaller fry, the Scooters and the other hech-of-a-jobbers, will also cash in on what, for most of them, is simply wing-nut welfare.
I find it ironic that such an anti-intellectual and un-nuanced crew imagine that thoughtful people have even the least, or most perverted, ‘interest’ in perusing further self-serving mendacities and the fear-mongering which accompanies such deceits.
One may reasonably assume that there are legions of other people whose ideas have now, finally, after these past eight years, come of ‘age’ and deserve far greater attention from the rest of us.
The full court press on President-Elect Obama and congress critters is warranted. Watergate was a gnat on a bull’s ass compared to the obliterated bull’s ass perpetrated by the corporate aristocratic / neo conning fascist in the White House and Congress!
LOL!
I say, keep the title short and sour: Big Dick.
I’m thinking it will be today.
Today, lots of folks are talking about yesterday’s plane crash in the Hudson (like Marcy’s great post next door!), as well as the inaugural hoopla. It’s the last Friday for Bush to put stuff out with the trash.
Yes, she did. Peter Whatshisname always seemed the most obviously conservative moderator to me. I haven’t watched WJ in a while, but his questions seemed thinly disguised hostility this morning to me. Maybe that’s just me.
Love it!

As for the pardon—he doesn’t pass the legal criteria—but since when does this administration care about legal criteria?
If he’s pardoned doesn’t that mean that he has to testify if asked?

Eight Loooong years you thought W was the man
But you found out he was just a link in my chen
Fitz you thought you had me where you wanted me
But Scooter was nothing but my fool
I treated the Arabs mean I treated Plame cruel
Chen, Chen, Chen, Cheney of fools
Beg to disagree…watch WJ rather a lot and if you wanna see a moderator who’s “obviously conservative”, greta’s the one who will grind off your very last nerve. Would be interesting to get Jane’s take on Peter; I had the impression he was favorably disposed to her (or at least not hostile).
I really don’t think Dick will let Scooter be pardoned. If he is, then he can be compelled to testify to Congress, or in civil suits, about the whole Plame mess — he won’t have any 5th A. protections.
No, commutation is good enough for Scooter.
One of the things I so much love about this place is the depth of sheer unadulterated talent we have running around here.

I can’t say on Greta. I used to watch it daily until a couple of years ago. He moderated some over that period, but originally couldn’t stop himself from frowning and reacting emotionally to liberal statements. At time of invasion, when caller noted the lack of military service of Cheney, Wolfowitz, Pearl, et. al, Peter said, “What about Clinton. What about Clinton?”
Phoo! If only Franken hadn’t run for Senate, he’d be available. Well, he’s so dang smart, he could easily multitask and ghostwrite the thing.
I’m thinking along the lines of his lovely screed on Rush.
