Cheney speaking to the troops on cable right now
"The day you decided to join the armed forces was a great day for America", said the craven dictator.

"And the day I decided I had 'other priorities' besides fighting for some rich guys' gain over in Vietnam was a great day for saving my ass!", thought the craven dictator, as he mouthed his usual patriotic pablum.

1. Great speech if you believe him.
I read not one thing that makes it seem real.

2. Message from Cliss to Cheney:
I know you're trying to save yourself politically. Right now, you're trying to get "out there" and present a better image.

You feel people will resonate better with you if you speak to the troops, maybe attend some funerals since you haven't done any of that yet. Create a new image: "Caring Dick".

Don't bother. It's too late.

3. No kidding. Some guy on Rush yesterday called in claiming
to be "just back from Iraq" (probably more likely a College Republican who has never left the US except for his yearly drinking binge in Mexico).

He and Rush had a great discussion about what cowards people like John McCain and John Kerry are...

:wtf:

5. Rush is a great scholar and a genius who never managed to
do more than attend college for a couple of semesters... Tucker Carlson is an intellectual political commentator who also couldn't hack finishing college... Dick Cheney is a bold brave military leader who skipped ever serving in the military b/c of his 5 sequential draft deferments... black is white... war is peace... torture is TLC... up is down... and Anna Nicole Smith is flatchested.

Welcome to Bushworld.

10. Oh, yeah--the "boy genius" who is neither a boy nor a genius
and who also couldn't hack college.

Good point.

"Hey Pigboy, so you couldn't 'stay the course' and finish college??"

8. John McCain a coward?
I may not like the guy or trust him but he isn't a coward.

9. Yeah, its crazy
a guy pretending to be a soldier (most likely) from Iraq calling in to discuss what cowards veterans like Kerry and McCain are, while praising chickenhawks like Bush and Cheney, all in a conversation with a pompous fatass who avoided fighting in a war he supported because of an anal cyst...

12. He's not a real veteran.
Don't you know, anyone who runs against George W. Bush cannot be a real veteran??

Look at the candidates: Al Gore, not a real veteran; John Kerry, not a real veteran... John McCain, not a real veteran.

Now, please, try to get that straight! Just repeat after me: "If General Patton were to come back to life and run against George W. Bush, that would mean that General Patton is not a real veteran."

Here, drink this Kool-aid. It'll refresh your thought processes.

13. Is he also reflecting back to his own days in the service?
:sarcasm:
