Cheney Joins the Ghetto Crew

Ok ..... I know, I know. He was there already a member of the Coulter-Hannity-Limbaugh Ghetto Crew. Hard to imagine a rational person being able to dig himself a deeper garbage pit than Dick Cheney already has ..... and yet ..... he does it!

Now this right-wing torturer is taking on Colin Powell. Colin Powell, a respected man who speaks for the moderates in the Republican party. Cheney attacks HIM now that Cheney's lost his supreme power as the worst, most powerful VP the U.S. has ever encountered?

As many Republicans try to distance themselves from Bush and Cheney ...... attempting to portray them as the OLD face of the Republican party (from which we should run as fast as possible, by the way), Cheney once again makes it clear that he just, plain, doesn't get it. Power does, indeed, corrupt, and he is a perfect and prime example.

Andrew Sullivan says it much better than I could, so why paraphrase? Here is his well written article on the matter of politicans who are mentally challenged far beyond being able to age and retire gracefully:

Every time Cheney opens his mouth (or the rest of the ghetto crew, for that matter), I become even more proud of this man:



The contrast becomes even more astounding as TGC (the ghetto crew) digs themselves in deeper and deeper. Republicans want to believe that history will judge George W. Bush more kindly than present times do. Highly unlikely. Particularly with Cheney wielding the shovel.

Republicans and the Truth

Ok - gotcha with that title, didn't I? You thought it was an oxymoron. It is.

This morning I listened to Bill Bennett (former Secretary of Education and later the "Drug Czar" under the first Bushy) answer a reporter's questions regarding Sarah Palin. He was asked what he thought about her saying she'd been to Iraq (she hasn't), about her saying that most vice presidents have never met with foreign leaders either (they have, with the exception of Spiro Agnew, a Republican), about her saying she said an emphatic "NO" to the bridge to nowhere (she didn't). His response? All that is quite minor, stop talking about it.

Ok .... I want to get straight on the Republican point of view. Clinton lied about getting a blow job and should be impeached. Palin and McCain lie about their own records and their opponents' records and that's minor, stop talking about it.

I think I understand now.
