1. Whoa! Same expressions too!
You could sing a variation of Paul Simon's song, 'Still Crooked After All These Years!"

Welcome to DU! :hi:

btw, I got this pic from the TGIF/Weekend edition of allhatnocattle. And there's an email saying the owner looks a lot like Valerie Plame

See for yourself:

Those guys all look like demons and you honestly don't have to 'shop them much! But you should add his Staff 2000 hat he wore to the Auschwitz Memorial. That really said a lot...

6. those two go way back
Rumsfeld worked as an administrative assistant to a Congressman in the Eisenhower administration, Cheney started as an assistant to Rumsfeld in the Nixon administration. They've been rotating in and out of the White House periodically for some time.

8. Of course
If you haven't visit http://www.informationclearinghouse.info and watch the unofficial biography film of Cheney. He's one SOB. Rumsfeld doesn't look much different there except now he's more gray and all that of course and Cheney gained weight.

9. Actually, it's a bit more than that...
... Rumsfeld came to Congress as a new Congressman from Illinois in 1963. Gerald Ford, then the House minority leader, sort of took Rumsfeld under his wing. Cheney arrived in Washington in 1968 as an intern to Wisconsin Congressman William Steiger, so Cheney and Rumsfeld became acquainted through Ford.

When Rumsfeld was hired by Nixon to run the Office of Economic Opportunity, Rumsfeld hired Cheney as a special assistant. When Ford picked Rumsfeld to be his chief of staff in 1974, Rumsfeld made Cheney deputy chief of staff. Upon Rumsfeld's confirmation as Secretary of Defense, Cheney became the youngest Presidential chief of staff ever.

Here's another little tidbit. Cheney was the person in the Ford administration who lobbied for Bush, Sr., as DCI when Ford fired Colby.

11. Fine, I didn't disagree with that...

Cheers.

12. Cheney helped cover up CIA murder of Dr. Frank Olson.
Rumsferatu's just as bad.



SCIENTIST WAS 'KILLED TO STOP HIM REVEALING DEATH SECRETS';

SO DID CHENEY AND RUMSFELD COVER UP A CIA ASSASSINATION?


London Sunday Express
By Gordon Thomas
August 25, 2002
 
US Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld have been sensationally accused of covering up the "murder" of a former army scientist.

In 1953, Frank Olson, a key member of the CIA's brainwashing programme MKULTRA, "plunged" from a New York hotel window.

He had allegedly threatened to reveal the CIA involvement in "terminal experiments" in post-war Germany and in Korea during the Korean War.

For almost half a century, his son Eric, a psychologist, has insisted his father as murdered on orders from the highest level. Now, California history professor Kathryn Olmstead says she has found documents written by Cheney and Rumsfeld which show how far the White House went to conceal information about Olson's death.

She says Olson made anthrax and other biological weapons and that part of his work had been at Britain's Porton Down Research Centre.

Eric Olson believes that Cheney and Rumsfeld were later given the task in the 1970s of covering up the details of his father's death.

At that time Rumsfeld was White House Chief of Staff to President Gerald Ford. Dick Cheney was a White House assistant.

15. And they call Bu$h "Smirk."
Cheney is "Smirk." He was born with that evil expression.
