Dick Cheney: The New 'Baghdad Bob'?

[cal04]

Is it just me, or is Vice President Cheney, in his latest statements, starting once again to sound like another balding, rose-colored-glasses wearing war spokesman, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, better known as “Baghdad Bob”?

For that matter, has anyone seen "Bob" lately? Perhaps, as a trained propagandist, he is in the bunker with Dick, writing his material.

By now you have read excerpts from Cheney's interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN this week, filled with delusional statements -- reminiscent of his "last throes" claims -- about things going so well in Iraq and refusing to admit any mistakes (beyond counting on the American public to strongly support the war forever). Asked, for example, if there is still a deadly mess to clean up in Iraq, Cheney replied, "No there is not. There is not. There's problems — ongoing problems — but we have in fact accomplished our objectives."

Is it time to start calling him "Beltway Bob"? Or "D.C. Dick"? Or perhaps "Bunker Bob"?

1. His statement s are certainly no less ridiculous ...

Unfortunately I can't find his lies comical ... though I doubt the Iraqi's were amused when the truth become apparent.

2. I agree with your comparison, but

can't get away from "chickenhawk Cheney."

3. Last I heard

Baghdad Bob went into the Federal Witness Protection Program and is currently employed as the stunt double for Geraldo Rivera...
