Dick Cheney crawls out of his undisclosed location to endorse McCain, and Obama pounces:
I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn’t come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington’s […]

On a mission

Ron Suskind’s new book has ignited a whole bunch of controversy, particularly on its claim that a key letter - supposedly from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein linking the dictator to the 9/11 terrorists - was forged. Suskind’s sources claimed the CIA was behind the forgery, which has unleashed a flurry of […]

So Lincoln Chaffee has a new book out. NPR’s got an excerpt, in which Chaffee talks about sitting down with Dick Cheney right after Bush wins the presidency “by a single vote in the Electoral College and a single vote in the Supreme Court.” Bush, of course, promised to be a uniter, not a divider.

And now, YA-TA-TA-TA…
In an interview with ABC News yesterday, Vice President Dick Cheney asserted that President Bush “carries the biggest burden” of the Iraq war and even compared staying the course in Iraq to the pardoning of President Nixon. But Cheney also took time out to insult Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Hillary Clinton (D-NY) […]

…With apologies to Think Progress
La la la la, la la la la, Cheney’s World…
On his trip to Iraq today, Vice President Dick Cheney asserted there has been “phenomenal” improvements in security, hours before a suicide bomber killed at least 40 people. Cheney also asserted that Iraq has been a “successful endeavor.”

Cheney’s history lesson
February 9th, 2008 · No Comments
A failed vice president visits the Keystone State and says just about what we’d expect him to say:
“We’ve come to a strong finish. We are confident we will leave our jobs in good hands and history will show that George W. Bush has left us more prosperous and secure as President of these United States.”

If you wanted a snapshot of how out of touch the conservative movement has become, and why it is in the process of becoming so marginalized, you need look no further than this one.
The Conservative Political Action Conference is happening this week, a confab where the movement gets together, gives itself whiplash by nodding in agreement […]

Dick Cheney manipulating intel on Iran? Ya don’t say…
WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (IPS) - A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran has been held up for more than a year in an effort to force the intelligence community to remove dissenting judgments on the Iranian nuclear programme, and thus make the document more supportive of U.S. […]

Cheney rattles saber, seems to explicitly endorse the manner in which the Soviets - not the wimpy softy Americans - used to deal with their adversaries. Greg Djerjian responds:
It’s really an appallingly strange time in our country. We have a singularly powerful Vice-President (compared to any of his predecessors)–openly quite enamored by the tactics employed […]

What ‘international community?’
October 22nd, 2007 · No Comments
You know what annoys me about this? Not just that Dick Cheney once again appears to be in the driver’s seat, telegraphing his intentions - but rather the fact that he’s trying to hide behind other countries.
“Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions,” Cheney […]

Juan Cole:
What is clear is that Dick Cheney’s desperate bid to grab Iraq for US petroleum corporations and for proprietary contracts to supply the US is backfiring big time. Instead of reducing the importance of Saudi Arabia, Cheney and the Neocons have magnified it. Instead of bringing online a big new supplier (Iraq) they have […]

The Leader undergoes a colonoscopy. Which means he will:
temporarily hand presidential powers over to Vice President Dick Cheney

Both Sullivan and Josh Marshall (and many others, I suspect) are getting mail suggesting that Bush commuted Libby’s sentence specifically to send a message that the Leader and Vice Leader will protect the loyal - so just keep lying or stonewalling for the next 18 months, until this crew is out of office; even if that […]

Libby equals Iraq
July 3rd, 2007 · No Comments
Let’s be clear, also, on exactly what we’re talking about in the case of Scooter Libby:
Libby’s lies were employed specifically for the purpose of protecting Dick Cheney. For it was Cheney who had decided that Joe Wilson must be smeared; Cheney who did not want the public scrutinizing the rationale for the war in Iraq […]

Glenn Greenwald catches Jonah Goldberg inadvertently speaking the truth:
That, of course, is the defining mentality of the Authoritarian Mind, captured in its purest essence by Jonah. Our Leaders are Good and want to protect us. Therefore, we must accept — and even be grateful — when they prevent us from knowing what they are doing. The […]

Cheney’s acting like Julius Caesar and must be stopped, writes Steve Clemons:
If the Vice President thinks that there is no authority to which he reports, then he has committed a high crime against this nation and its democracy.
