Under fire from Democrats, Cheney pushes back
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With Vice President Dick Cheney under mounting fire, his office together with the White House and the Republican Party responded with a coordinated counter-attack on Tuesday, accusing Sen. Harry Reid of malicious conduct "unbecoming" his role as Democratic leader.

The White House response -- unusual in its hostile tone and coordination -- was sparked by Reid's charges that Cheney manipulated pre-war intelligence about Iraq and was "behind" the leaking of classified information to discredit White House critics.

...your Neuticles are showing.

(I thought things were bad when Bob Dole kept referring to his wife by her initials, the same as those of "erectile dysfunction"--which of course tied into his Viagra commercials...)

27. Yes. NINETEEN percent!
I think the "go fuck yourself" is gonna be on the other foot, now. Especially after the election results tonight. His pals don't have a lot to cheer about, or to spin. And day by day he (and the rest of 'em) winds up painting himself farther into a corner.

He and bush and the entire GOP, for that matter, have reached the point where they are NO LONGER negotiating from a position of strength. NO LONGER. That's over. Especially now. bush is officially a lame duck after tonight, especially when he put his own little dick on the line for Kilgore in Virginia - and Kilgore LOST. EVERYBODY was reading things into that one. EVERYBODY was watching that one. EVERYBODY was scanning the fine print and whatever secret messages there were between the lines. And it's all snake eyes. Just like cheney's.

Go ahead and try pushing, dickie-boy. You ain't so tough. Not anymore. And you've made an AWFUL LOT of enemies along the way. You'll meet the same ones on your way down that you shat upon or bullied or intimidated or lied to or cheated or ripped off or ran over on your way up.

28. That is it according to a Randi Rhodes' (I think) caller who was a nurse
at the hospital where the operation was done...Randi (I think it was her show) cut her off and said it was not appropriate to discuss private medical information in a public forum. His heart and circulatory problems would make necessary such a procedure. I don't really care to further discuss the issue.

Cheney is an evil man. That is what we should discuss.

his head looks like either Beavis or Butthead (most likely the latter, can't remember which is which). Is he drinking milk? I thought he only drank blood.

23. Ohmygoodness--he borrowed the "thingee" that Bush had stuffed...
...down his pants when he landed on the aircraft carrier during "Mission Accomplished!"

Man, do these guys keep that thing hanging in a closet--and they take turns using it for important photo-ops?

Maybe it's a colostomy bag?

Sorry--any possibility is going to be outrageously offensive.

32. It's a Pickle
Sometimes they forget to take it out of the refrigerator in advance
of the photo op, so it's reeeealy cold.

That explains some of Bush** and Cheney's facial expressions.

Poor guy, had to have his pants specially made to accommodate his, um, bulge because he was too scared to have the surgery.

Scared chickenhawk ... yeah, hernia, that's it.

37. I'm just going to come right out and say it -
Dick Cheney is gay. He's a repressed, "closet" gay, a man who's full of self-loathing.

It's become crystal clear to me that Cheney is the one who's pushing for torture. The web site Counter Punch says that Cheney is America's "Marquis de Sade", a man who has pushed cruelty and murder without guilt.

Now, don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with gays. It's the repressed gays that have the problem.

And by the way, I don't believe that's Cheney's weiner in the photo above. I think it's a colostomy bag.

40. "malicious conduct unbecoming his role as Democratic leader?"

since when has dick cheney given a darn about conduct, malicious or not, unbecoming ...??????????

only when said unmalicious conduct speaks truth to power against him, his holy war, his infantile charge in diapers and his greed for oil.

bastard, amoral liar!
