Can We Blame Dick Cheney for the Oil Spill?

According to William Galston of The New Republic, we just might be able to pin a good bit of the blame for the Deepwater Horizon spill on our illustrious…no, that’s not the word I’m looking for…despicable former Vice President. There’s no single smoking gun, or rig, as it were, but there is a collection of [...]

Cheney Lied About CIA Torture Effectiveness

In Cheney’s mind, he’s a courageous patriot who’s not afraid to get things done. Cheney thinks that terrorists will be scared of the U.S. if only we’d torture more and the only way to get info is to throw accused terrorists (some of whom may be actually innocent) into Guantanamo (which has special terrorist [...]

Go Cheney Yourself, Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney poked his head out of his undisclosed location to share this wisdom with the world this morning:
Responding to Biden’s comments that Iraq may end up being one of the Obama administration’s greatest success, Cheney chuckled. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by my friend Joe Biden,” he said.
“I’m glad he now believes Iraq [...]

What Is KBR Hiding?

We are all familiar with the case of Jamie Leigh Jones, the KBR contract worker who was brutally raped on her first day in Iraq. She was then held hostage in a shipping container until she was able to get a cell phone to call her father. She was denied a day in [...]

The White House Smacks Dick Around

After Dick Cheney emerged from Potterville to chime in about the attempted terrorist attack on Flight 253, the White House responded on its blog.
To put it simply: this President is not interested in bellicose rhetoric, he is focused on action. Seven years of bellicose rhetoric failed to reduce the threat from al Qaeda and succeeded [...]

Rachel Maddow Calls Out “Chatty Cathy” Cheney And The Parroting Press

If you haven’t watched the video below, please do so.  Rachel Maddow, calmly and professionally, dismantles every bit of garbage spewing out of our former Vice President’s mouth.  And, isn’t it ironic that a man who spent the majority of the last eight years in an undisclosed location is now seeking the spotlight with a [...]

Is This A Joke?

I’m honestly not sure.  Given all the lunacy spewing out of Republican mouths this comment may not be just a throw-away.
Host Chris Wallace pointed out that former Vice President Dick Cheney did not bow to the emperor when he visited Japan. (He did not elaborate on how this difference in greeting affected American policy or [...]

The Man With America’s Worst Memory

That would be America’s criminal former Vice President, Dick Cheney.
According to the Associated Press, the man who had ‘other priorities’ when he got about a dozen deferments to avoid military service, and the man who hijacked the Constitution during the Bush Years, simply couldn’t remember even the simplest of details when it came to the [...]

Torture Still Doesn’t Work

What a surprise – the declassified document that Cheney says proves the effectiveness of the “enhanced interrogation techniques” (and the rest of the world calls torture) doesn’t prove Cheney’s point at all. Spencer Ackerman gives some examples:
Those documents were obtained today by The Washington Independent and are available here. Strikingly, they provide little [...]

CIA Report on Torture Release Delayed

All I can say is that I can’t wait to see this report. I wonder if the revelations that KSM said he lied a lot is a leak from this report. Keep watching! According to the article, the report will be released on Friday.
Hmmm, looks like we’re going to have to keep [...]

Panetta Makes A Gaffe*

*A gaffe in politics is when you say something truthful.
The New Yorker has a long article on Leon Panetta, the new CIA Director. It’s definitely worth a read. Panetta is not a CIA insider, he’s a political operator with a good relationship with the president and is generally considered a good manager. [...]

Even A Broken Clock…

Meet Dick Cheney, RINO.
Speaking at the National Press Club for the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards, Cheney was asked about recent rulings and legislative action in Iowa and elsewhere that allowed for gay couples to legally wed.
“I think that freedom means freedom for everyone,” replied the former V.P. “As many of you know, one [...]
