Dick Cheney Blasts John Howard for al Qaeda-Obama remarks
Dick Cheney Blasts John Howard for al Qaeda-Obama remarks

(Washington D.C.:Ucs News) US Vice President Dick Cheney lashed out at Australia's conservative prime minister John Howard today. Speaking from his secure and undisclosed location Cheney called Howard's remarks "disgusting propganda", "pure demagoguery", "an insult to voters intelligence" and "totally plagiarized from a speech I gave last week ".

According to the Vice President it was his (Cheney's) office that first linked Democratic candidate Barack Obama to the terrorist Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. "This is the worse kind of political fear mongering and that dirty dog Howard from Australia is stealing my best material." said Cheney.

In a speech Howard claimed "If I were running al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and be praying as many times as possible for a victory, not only for Obama but also for the Democrats." Cheney claims, this type of senseless dribble is his trademark and that "I will vigorously defend my right to slander Democratic candidates".

Yes, it is satire... but isn't it surprising how close to the truth this might be?

3. very good and some ammo for me!!
I have a good friend from Australia who complains about how backward America is compared to the rest of the world. Already got a good needle off at him about how it seems Aussies and Americans are much more alike than he thought!! My friend loves a good insult so I guess I will probably get a reply back that I need to stop "grizzling" (whining like a child-according to my friend 80% of English speakers know the term but I had never heard of it...) Sad in some ways but just way way too funny for me to resist...:rofl:
