"Cheney Throwing Stones at Democrats"
<snip>

After all, this is the same vice president who used an obscenity beginning with "F" in an exchange with Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on the Senate floor in June 2004. At the time, Leahy said he was "kind of shocked" by the remark, but Cheney was unrepentant, saying afterward, "I felt better after I said it."

5. Is it me or does Rangel look younger than his years?
Sorry to hijack a little here, but he does not LOOK 75. Cheney, however DOES look about 80.

6. Right wing puffery from the AP
I'm shocked!

The base likes it when Cheney treats us like toilet paper. They're proud of what a cave man he is compared to those weenie pantywaist Kerry kissers. The AP is gleeful when they can disguise a loveletter as a critique.



"Cheney's remarks may not have been good manners but they could well turn out to be good politics.

"It's red meat to the base," said Goldstein. At a time when the president is near historic lows in the polls and he is hearing grumbling from the right about his nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, Goldstein said, "When Cheney does something like this, the Republican base sort of says 'Amen.'"

That's exactly what Rush Limbaugh did when Cheney said of Rangel, "Charlie's losing it, I guess."

"They're all losing it," agreed Limbaugh. "That's why people think they are ripe to be buried, Mr. Vice President."

"Well, we're working on it," Cheney promised. "

what utter assholes.
