Seeing Dick Cheney state that he prefers Rush Limbaugh to Colin Powell strikes some people as further evidence of the former’s shallow depravity.
And they would be correct. Though I’m not interested in defending Colin Powell, who has a lot to defend himself about.
But who the heck can be surprised Dick Cheney prefers Rush Limbaugh’s company to a military veteran?
Cheney and Limbaugh have more in common. They both like to get together on the occasional weekends and swap stories of their bravery. Dick can talk about all five of his deferments from Vietnam and Rush can talk about how he got out of service through a defective balloon knot. Dick can talk about shooting a friend in the face, Rush can talk about how he did the same thing with a stranger in the Dominican Repu…HEY, let’s just move on shall we?
Oh, how they have a good laugh over that. It is a good thing to talk about while they’re winding down from a long day of drowning puppies.

‘Birds of a feather’
Cheney has been a busy little bee, lately, working out of his Fourth Branch office in Virginia. He is working overtime to take the Obama government down, and he still has plants in high places to assist him. I hope the Big O has this one covered.
Good morning all and thanks for starting the week with this, Attaturk.
More stunning than dick’s rush love was his admission that both he and georgie are war criminals. He actaully said they both approved
torture“enhanced techniques”. Prison is to good for this walking piece of fecal matter.cheney went on to blame bush for every torture program, he also went on to shed blame for all the attacks that might come in the future because of him
he actually had the nerve to say he’s saved hundreds of thousands of lives because of torture
of course, when there’s an attack BECAUSE of the enemies he’s created through his programs, he is going to blame obama
this man needs to go to jail
Nice image! Cheney almost always manages look half crazed. Rushbo might want to give the ‘Hair Club for Men’ a try.
Mika says “some” are questioning if Wanda Sykes “went too far” calling the fat fuck one of the hijackers!
Good morning, pups. Paul Krugman is solo because Roger Cohen is off today. Prof. Krugman, in “Harry, Louise and Barack,” says the fact that the medical-industrial complex is trying to shape health care reform rather than block it is a good omen. But he still won’t count his health care chickens until they’re hatched.
Here he is.
The coffee and tea are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. After a fairly hot weekend we may be cooling down a bit this week, which will make working in the garden much more tolerable. We may also be in for some thunderstorms. Have a great day.
they would have went balistic if she thanked him for giving so many seats to the democrats
it’s pouring up here
Y’all still need it desperately, don’t you? Wasn’t it near you where they found the body of that university teacher who did the recent shooting?
We had thunder growling last night, but no rain to speak of. Maybe today and tomorrow.
Yea, he dug his own grave and shot himself. The trained dogs found him about a mile from his house. The drought has pretty much broken here. I drove up to Johnson City this weekend, that new highway from Asheville sure is purty!
Awwwww how cute….Pat Buchanan and Joe Doucheborough think President Obama was wicked funny this weekend. These two must have had their kiddie naps this weekend to be able to think so clearly!
“Breaking”is one thing but catching up is another….still very, very dry in eastern NC.
Uh oh, Doucheborough thinks it was going over the line to joke about Ass Limbo’s kidneys failing! Oh yes…..the country failing is actually high-sterical….but joke about the Limbo’s kidneys….it’s against right wing American Taliban law!
Well, Lanier is wayyyyy up, close to full but the lawsuit about “whose” water it is is in court today.
Obama isn’t supposed to laugh about Sykes wishing rush kidney failure…..new outrage for the next two weeks. :-( But it’s perfectly alright for limpballs to wish America to fail.
*click*
Exactly! We’re still a fascist country if this is how things are going to be!
Morning all, I don’t think there will ever be anything worse than Bush looking for WMD.
And for the POTUS to joke about not finding the WMD he used to justify a lengthy, expensive and likely illegal war.
*That* was fucking hilarious.
Note to self: Learn to type faster
It’s been over 100 days and I have yet so see a unicorn (much less a pony)
or review notes earlier….
Probably the most beneficial course I took in high school [this being the dark ages BC (before computers) *G*] was typing.
A republican with a sense of humor is a genetic impossibility. Thus, if we all die from laughing at Michael Steele, for example – they can swoop in and snatch what little money we left behind.
Darwin was a winger.
It’s as good an omen as oil companies shaping energy policy.
I’ve not seen his manger he was born in either. What gives!!!!! LOL
Tough, tough, tough lass for the Magic. Hey! Soem guy in the The Boston Globe called us “Hooterville by Lake Eola.” No fair. That hurt. It’s true. But it still hurt.
This 2 trillion savings is completely a smoke screen. It’s as if the thieves declaring we wont’ steal AS much, we promise.
bluetoe, that simple 11 word sentence is a STUNNING and undisputable refutation of both health AND banking policies today!
sounds like a diary to me and I hope you use it to write one
Really? I prefer what Lance Dutson of Sen. Susan Collins’ campaign called us last year, which was…’foul-mouthed fem bloggers’. LOL
…’foul-mouthed fem bloggers’.
it’s hard for some of us to meet the dress code….
I think we changed it to: “foul-mouthed fem/gent bloggers” after it came out. ;-)
Dutson was mainly referring to Jane, Christy, and the other women who write here who were being mean to Suzie-Q Collins.

Poor Suzie! Still makes me cry for her Argentina! *patting crocodile tears*

dang
Is anyone surprised that Cheney would choose Limbaugh over Powell? Cheney and Limbaugh have so much more in common.
http://progressnotcongress.org/blog/?p=852
My kids [now 21 & 23] still cannot believe there was an age “before computers.”
I regale them with tales of how once one had to completely retype a page or even paper if “revisions” got more extensive than “erasable typing paper” or the wonderous “self-correcting Selectric” could handle.
They really go ape-shit when they learn ole Mom once lived when there was no tv and slide rules were used in physics class instead of calculators.
What is depressing to me is how ALL Americans don’t see that these two are utter cowards. From Rush and his pathetic attempts to get out of the draft, to Cheney’s utter cowardice after 9-11. And by the way, THAT should prove we are safer under Obama than anything. When Cheney was in charge, that blowhard was afraid to come out of his undisclosed location. Now that Obama is in charge, he comes out. Why do you suppose that is?
And there will be another terrorist attack. This year, next year, 5 years? Who knows? Can’t Americans ever be the slightest bit brave? Decide to stand up to the terrorists, like Europe does. Some say 9/11 was bigger than ANY terrorist attack in the history of time, but it is all relative. I live in CA — 9/11 didn’t affect ME personally at all. But think of other terrorist attacks in Europe. Even if not as large as 9/11, people WERE killed, terrorized. And there, even that DAY, and the days after, people went about their business. Their laws and their country’s morals didn’t change. Only in America.
Buck up, Americans. Stop being scared. Terrorists WILL hit our shores again sometime. Just don’t act like you have the 8 years since 9/11. Live your lives! Go about your business.
