Sure, BabyDick! The American people really miss your dear old dad. Especially since his health has improved so much since he exited public life in a wheelchair: two — or is it three? — secretive surgeries this year alone; his utterly asinine comments about the current president’s Afghanistan deliberations better suited to the guy living in a cardboard box on a streetcorner; and the revelations of his complete memory failure about his office’s exposure of a secret CIA asset in wartime for political ends. Dick’s is the leadership the American people cry out for, as our current president spends more time than any other repairing our foreign relations ground for eight long years beneath his and his puppet’s bootheels.
Historically unpopular. Symbol of America’s black ops. The guy about whom most observers said, “Well, sure…” when the charge was leveled of running secret assassination squads. Halliburton ex-CEO and likely war profiteer.
Yes, this is the leader the GOP should choose to oppose President Obama in 2012.
Run, Dick, run. Unless Liz was talking about herself, or Lady Lynne?
(PS I really tried to have myself a Palin-free Sunday, promising no clicks on Sarah links or tweets. But Bill Kristol’s logorrhea prevents this. When he’s on a Sunday gabfest, it seems her name comes up incessantly. Lucky they weren’t talking about finding water on the moon, because I’m sure Sarah would have done that faster than NASA!)

teddy!
see jane chase after dick. dick doesn’t like jane. dick is afraid. dick wants his mommy.
I can’t imagine that his bionic parts are waranteed past 2012.
The Cheney’s ARE delusional but I think Liz only suggested it to torture us socialists. I suspect they really want her to run, or maybe she can be Def Sec in the Palin/Bachmann admin..
Yes! Cheney-Palin or Palin-Cheney is a winning ticket – for the Dems.
He’d have to come out from under whatever rock he hides under.
Witness teh Google….
edit: Over 4 MILLION results. Just saying.
Another winning ticket – for us.
Run Dick Run !
Literally !
Teddy !
Cheney, the most hated pol in the U.S. O could only hope for such an easy opponent.
David Corn has some interesting thoughts about Liz Cheney and Keep America Safe, her new group that will oppose President Obama’s “radical” foreign policies: Like Father, Like Daughter: Liz Cheney and the Neocons (10/14/09) at Politics Daily.
Btw, I prefer to call her “Baby Dickette, daughter of Dysfunctional Dick.”
She’d have to debate Obama this time. “Is it okay if I call you Bar?”
You don’t need the diminutive “ette.”
Baby Dick works just fine.
We all know she ain’t Mary!
I’d be surprised if Dick could manage more than a trickle at this point.
I saw Charles Krauthammer briefly while I was channel surfing. The media are as zombified as the banks. They have on the same braindead tangle of hacks, dopes, liars, and connivers because that is what they are paid to do. Liz Cheney has as much relevance to our current problems as the dinosaurs. It isn’t what she says that is the issue. It is that she would be given a forum outside of a freak show to opine on anything. Her presence exemplifies the rot in the media but also that its primary function will be to propagandize to the very end.
Aw, he’ll only be 71 years old come 2012. He’s a spring chicken compared to McGrumpy!
In all seriousness, all I see when I look at GOP contenders in 2012 are has-beens and never-weres. They’re like the ‘62 Mets in that respect.
Um, isn’t there a med for that? And it’s not banned by the Stup(id)ak amendment, either?
(With apologies to the men who actually need these meds for medical reasons.)
Mary is every bit as bad as Liz except for the fact that we see less of her.
71 and how many bipasses?
I’m with Digby. If HCR doesn’t cover abortion, it doesn’t cover the little blue pill.
My thoughts exactly. Who would do worse in 2012, Palin or Cheney?
It certainly won’t advance the progressive cause much, that’s for sure.
Good evening, all.
His heart looks like downtown LA at this point.
Is “-ette” diminutive? I thought it was the feminine form. Didn’t realize.
Five heart attacks, many stents, several secret surgeries, and a pacemaker.
Almost totally bionic at this point.
And five deferments.
I thought 71 WAS the bypasses, you mean that’s his age too?
I think they just removed the heart entirely the last time and replaced it with a cybernetic pump.
Did you see, in the clip, how they all started chattering after her 2012 tease? It reminded me of the scene in the Music Man.
I don’t think there are any meds that would cover all the ways in which Dick is dysfunctional.
It is the feminine diminutive in French.
If the raging right continues to gallop in the general direction of the Fourth Reich perhaps he will be running for the office of Der Fuhrer instead.
Or maybe he will settle once again for being Vice Fuhrer under Sarah Palin. I’m sure they can work something out with Beck and Limbaugh.
My Italian’s fine. My French, obviously, sucks.
The GOP have NO one that can get elected.
You can’t win an election with only 23% whackaloons voting for you and thanks to the teabaggers, Palin, and C Street Failures, the GOP 23% is splintered amongst itself!!!!
Now, I plan to be REALLY pissed at those Dem’s I can take out when their turn comes up, but so far, Obama is not one of them. So, I won’t be deserting the Dem Party just yet, to hand GOP any gains in ‘10, OR ‘12.
But Teddy, the ONLY thing that makes any sense out of BabyDick and her postulations is it’s just a GOP tool to jab at the left and energize what little base they have left.
BabyDick, McBrat, Impalin, BatshitBachman.
All mouthing the same useless shit, all lost causes beyond the small base that adores them.
That they get a ton of media is only symptomatic of corporate feudalists who prop them up to keep a failing base hopped up like meth heads.
It’s crumbling for the GOP, badly, only the MSM won’t report it.
*G*
We progs/libs really need to help turn out Dem voters for ‘10 and ‘12. Because if we do, we can bury the GOP for a decade or two, and use that time to cull the Dem Party into something more representative of the reality’s we live in.
Yeah, I’m upbead to some extent, but it might just be the glow of the Merlot.
HCR now, is really pissin me off . . . especially after reading some info today about CBO released info regarding House and Senate bills that are going to lay waste to medicare bennies.
I’m sittin quiet for now, till I see what the more educated blogosphere response is to those allegations released Sat. But if this info proves true, WRT losing bennies in Medicare/Medicaid due to HCR as we know it now, then the progs/libs need to circle fast, and try to ensure NONE of the bills are passed!!!!
And that’s gonna be tricky, ain’t it, givin the narrowed windows we’re facing as it all winds down and gets done behind closed doors.
A good post Teddy, thanks for sharing.
All paid for by socialist medicine.
Yes, it is dimunutive.
Plus, remember that the “rule of agreement” for verbs, persons and nouns requires “agreement.”
So the “tutoiement” particular to French, but pretty much the rule in all Romance languages, as well as most of the languages spoken in Western Europe, would also require the “familiar” form of the verb used.
In other words, you can “put down” women, children and animals without a second thought using the diminutive. But that’s not American English, just a fine point about languages in general.
Me too. I’ve tried to keep her Off-Topic at my blog since her abdication, which has been hard to do in Wasilla.
But the death panel bullshit and the upcoming book tour stuff have made that impossible. At least her statements about evolution in the book that are coming out validate my post from September 2008 that wingnuts tried again and again to debunk.
Corporate feudalist shills to the end, giving the fringe lunatics of the batshit crazed 23% an open and ample forum to stir up and energize the same batshit crazed 23%.
GOP is toast, and even the seagulls won’t eat the burnt parts.
Like the dinosaurs and one meteor (or two). *poof*
Dick Cheney is nothing if not unelectable.
I guess that makes him the Great Zero.
only when using electronic voting machine systems
La primero pregunta es: Que es mas macho.
Pineapple o knife?
I think Darth wants to create the impression that Obama is trying to Silence him because Obama fears Darth running against him as President.
However Darth makes even Sarah look Popular with Moderate Voters, Darth running will get the most pissed off at Obama Lefties up to vote on Election Day in the rain in minus 20 degree weather.
Darth will run only if no other GOPer will because they are afraid of Obama.
La fruita, verdad!
woops.. that was for dr dick not edp.. my apologies
I can’t (agreed) and I didn’t (not intentionally). See my comment @ 29.
Si! Correcto! Que es mas macho, lightbulb o schoolbus?
He liked so being Viceroy under W, I can’t imagine his success under Palin. Put her in front of the bright lights and big crowds, letting him resume his operation of everything.
Max Blumenthal (and Spencer Ackerman’s tweetlink to Sully) ruined my Sarah-free-Sunday pledge.
True the GOP’s young blood is Sarah, Bobby jindal, Gov Perry of Texas and Jeb Bush only Darth has more negatives and problems than they do.
I doubt if there is a campaign staff she could hire at this point. Then again it’s not like they’re principled, if she has the money they will come.
I’m all for putting Liz Cheney down, at every opportunity.
Her gender matters not to me one scintilla as she politicizes everything, and has far too many opportunities in the media.
She and a couple other flacks deserve the same gender-free-and-unlimited-well-desereving-scorn, including Betsy McCaughey and Michelle Malkin for instance. Just my opinion.
Add Megan McArdle and Megan McCain to the list.
La bombilla! Debe estar encendido, al igual que los hombres. El autobús escolar es sólo impulsada
That’s an insult to The Mets!!!
RETRACTION!!
*G*
Please run, Dick, run!
Aw, now yer just makin’ shit up…
Holes in it everywhere?
You left out T Pawlenty, no? I think he’s got the best chance of all of them.
No!
What I said was “Lightbulb! It must be ‘turned on’ like men. The school bus is only driven.” Mas Macho!
Non parlare male mai dei autobus di scuola!
Even the MSM is tearing Palin apart, and McCain’s ex campaign is shredding her. Also.
It’s a fine sight to see! *G*
That could be true about having money but after the way she threw McCrazy staffers under the bus there may not be so many takers.
Que’n, Que’n es mas macho . . . . no?
Hey, smack-talk is blog life-blood, no?
According to Laurie Anderson schoolbus es mas macho que lightbulb but she could just be pulling my leg.
Believe I shall call it a night. Splendido evening to all.
Sally Pelosi?
I will never understand the concept of “payback” Sarah is apparently due. These people, Steve Schmidt most of all, plucked her from obscurity (sorry, ET) and made her Queen of Victimhood, with a multi-million-dollar book deal. What score does she possibly think she has to settle?
She would still be governor of our coldest, farthest state if it wasn’t for McCain and his team. Why hate on them unless she sees them as part of the “Eastern elite?” But, even so, THEY PICKED HER.
Niters, rf. Think I shall toddle off as well. Take care all. Cheney/Palin ‘12!
Please excuse my pineapple, he is barely monolingual.
MadDog prefers Lizard. Fitting.
You will never understand the redneck cult of victimization. Somebody is to blame for all your failures and it sure as shit ain’t you.
I never heard that song before!
You stinker! Night night.
Max’s piece is, as is increasingly the case with his writing, quite good. I hadn’t seen Spencer’s stuff on Sullivan. The Associate VP of Harper-Collins is forcing Alaska bloggers to remove excerpts from the crappy, lie-ridden book that they’ve posted. I didn’t post any pages and probably won’t, although the Continetti Book – The Crucifixion of Sarah Palin, or some such thing – spends some pages in the 170-range putting me down.
An insider at Harper-Collins has emailed me the entire Going Rogue in PDF format, but I haven’t even downloaded it yet. I’m tying to memorize about 450 measures of orchestral music for this coming week.
*waving g’nite to the leaving sleepyheads*
Exactly! Too bad. Surely McCrazy or whomever “picked” her must be sick, sick, sick about it.
If you have an opportunity to see the Laurie Anderson film “Home Of The Brave” by all means do so. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be available on DVD. I think I have a VHS version way back in my closet. Think I’ll drag it out and revisit the 1980s.
Yeah, but I’m gonna get upset if you keep talkin’ shit about school buses!
=P
[just joking]
Cheney/Prejean ‘12 – ‘Get a grip on America’…The ‘I Like Dick’ t-shirts will be catchy, shoppers.
;>)
Here’s how I think she holds those same thoughts in her little, tiny, o so microscopic brain:
My Dominionist beliefs foretold I should be chosen. The McCain camp peed on my Dominion, bastards! They shall pay for their insolence. My Dominion shall, like Tara, and my book, RISE AGAIN!!11!!!
Not ever realizing that, um, people of all stripes think she is completely unfit beyond the role of the mayor of “Let’s Club Baby Seals To Death” Town.
Sorry to Edward Teller; It’s a metaphorical town, not YOUR actual town. YaknowwadImean…
That picture of Lizard, batting her purty little eyes and being all so cute and coy ‘n all (jes’ like her daddy) reminded me of this song. I kinda hate to link to it since I think the gods of Rock ‘n Roll will surely smite me for it, but I’m hoping they’ll understand the snark. And good nite, all.
Link.

Not ever realizing that, um, people of all stripes think she is completely unfit beyond the role of the mayor of “Let’s Club Baby Seals To Death” Town.
I wish Eureka Springs was here right now to ask what the name of the town in Arkansas is with a population of something like 11 (I think), that bitch isn’t fit to be mayor of that place even.
Hang on, I didn’t even post a mildly disturbing image yet…
;>)
Well what are ya waiting for?
In response to Teddy Partridge @ 64
This morning, David Brooks mocked her as being fit for little more than the role of talk show host. He seemed fairly certain that that’s about the extent of her ambition at this point anyway. I think he laughed at the idea of her being the Republican presidential nominee on This Week.
He’s right.
I’m still trying to figure out why CNN’s political page has a special section for her.
ooooh – can’t wait for the NSFW images you’ll conjure as campaign posters.
In 1972, a Seattle Bluegrass music and progressive radio icon, named Tiny Freeman, ran for Seattle’s Federal Congressional District #7. His pictures – he was running against a GOP jerk – all had the caption “TINY – DICK” and had images or Richard Nixon behind him. It was one of the best Dada anti-art campaigns I’ve ever been involved in. I still have a complete set of posters rolled up in a tube.
I want Dick to run. What’s good for Dick is good for America.
;>)
Because it makes them money from the tons and tons of hits.
Speaking of CNN, it looks like they’re covering President Obama live speaking in Shanghai right now.
*standing on chair clapping*
No it’s live. I’ve been watching for a couple of hours. I had to turn it after about 5 minutes. The lies are hard to stomach.
Sweet dreams.
Indeed! But can’t they stick her over on the entertainment/tabloid page and get just as many hits over there?
It is the Elites like Brooks mocking her that seems to feed her and her minions, though. The more a NYT reporter calls her a “joke,” the more she feels empowered not to shake Oliver Stone’s hand when she meets him on the set of SNL.
Or something like that.
Just noticed and corrected my comment. He’s live… and lying?
Did you look there too? I’m sure Levi’s there.
Bravo!
HAAA!!!
‘And I want all this Baby Dick talk belayed…Because when Boss Dick gets back up where he belongs, all you libruls will find out what the staked-down baby ducks feel like.’

I kind of liked the way David Corn put it in his post, written after he appeared on Hardball (like above @ 9).
David Corn this morning also had an interesting take on the Eikenberry leak, saying that it was helpful to the Obama administration.
Talking about justice and the American way…. blah blah blah
I guess America is more like China than I thought.
Nah. I want her over there so I won’t have to look at her anymore.
baby ducks (spew)
Now, now…They’re cuddly, adorable and a perfectly good snack, pan-fried with white wine sauce.

Gary Susman asks: Is Glenn Beck the New Oprah? (11/12/09):
Frankly, that’s just bad manners. And it might encourage Ollie to make a bad movie about her, compounding the travesty.

I’m just going to start drinking the brain bleach.
I particularly liked Culture of Truth’s reference today, when Meet The Press host Fluffyhead mentioned Jill Eikenberry.
He’s not been marinated in enuff rum.
Or blue agave tequila with brown sugar.
THAT’LL loosen that pineapple’s tongue!!

Andrew Halcro, a moderately conservative Alaska blogger and friend of mine, and who is running against Don Young in the GOP primary for the AK-AL US House seat, just posted this:
My understanding is that one of the main neo cons of PNAC was on a tour ship up in AK, had dinner at Palin’s, or a Palin function, and was swayed mightily with her charms!
Then, it got to the GOP, who leveraged McCain’s Camp to adopt her.
And the adoption didn’t go well, aside from the 23% whackaloon turnouts.
Once Palin had to TALK to the press, she self imolated, and blamed McCain and all sundry for her victimization.
But the CHOOSING of her, was GOP NeoCon based, and a major fuck up of the likes of invading Iraq.
And it’s served the GOP about as well.
How any of the neocons STILL get any leverage in the GOP is beyond me.
But WTF, the GOP is fractured far beyond any fairy tales of Rocket J Skwrell and One Moose.
What’s going on with GOP is epic in MY lifetime on this rock.
She gets to keep the boobz, he gets to keep his shotgun?
Pass the popcorn, please
low on popcorn, but we’ve got three bushels of the best carrots in the world – right from our garden – in cold storage in the shop.

Wow, where’d the time go, and Stu, John, George, too.
Sigh. Forever young for us, in vids and pics like that.

Yeah, that’s some good photoshoppin imagery, DB.

I thought Kristol picked her. And this morning he was singing her praises again. (fighting with Liz over whether Palin or Cheney should be the candidate)
Kristol has the hots.
Take a look at my analysis of Obama’s exchange with reporters in Tokyo, in which he says that Cheney can go fuck himself.
Tis HERE.
Just walked thru that, that’s some pretty funny shit.
Thanks!
If I didn’t have such interesting subjects it’d be all for naught, boss.
;>)
Kristol has an obsession. Remember, this is the man who was chief of staff to Veep Quayle.
Dick Cheney should be tried and convicted as a war criminal.
Then he should get the same treatment Eichmann did.
I’m all for them having a good time, so long as they don’t reproduce…
I never miss the Bobblespeak Translations every Sunday. Beats watching the shows themselves.
I agree. It is always hilarious to see the look on the faces of those “smitten” when they talk about her. It is frightening to imagine the shortcomings people like Kristol are willing to overlook because they think she is “hot”.
I’m trying to figure out how to work Cheney pissing on the tomb of the unknown soldier into my next Crazy Woman post. Have you done one of her with her favorite books, remotely like Zina’s?
I wonder what would happen to him if he were to step foot in several countries in Europe or other places around the world. Wouldn’t he be arrested on sight?
And all apologies to Bob Fosse, I’m sure . .
*G*
Not sure why Obama does that considering he’s protecting Cheney from facing justice for the crimes he committed while he was already in office.
Good lord that Snow White thang is of the ages!!!

I like the guy
he knows how to play capitalism to its very best
profits over people even mega profits from the sick and needy
even illegal wars to make a ton of money
americans voted him into office twice
that should say it all about the american mentality
the middle class lined up to vote reagan into office
how many states did reagan carry?
reagan put capitalism on steroids.
worked like a charm bye bye middle class and unions
dutch hated the middle class and unions
he was able to almost eliminate both.
the american mentality is to have a bake sale when people are made homeless from medical bills
and they feel pride for doing it
Liz must have huge faith in Dad’s cardiologists.
and Loo Hoo @ 89. Hope y’all had sweet dreams.
