Dowd: "Cheney Has Replaced Sarah Palin As Rogue Diva" Of GOP

NY Times:

Cheney has replaced Sarah Palin as Rogue Diva. Just as Jeb Bush and other Republicans are trying to get kinder and gentler, Cheney has popped out of his dungeon, scary organ music blaring, to carry on his nasty campaign of fear and loathing.

The man who never talked is now the man who won't shut up. The man who wouldn't list his office in the federal jobs directory, who had the vice president's residence blocked on Google Earth, who went to the Supreme Court to keep from revealing which energy executives helped him write the nation's energy policy, is now endlessly yelping about how President Obama is holding back documents that should be made public.

Great move President Obama.

I was so worry that you would release those photos and you changed your decision. Wow, was I relieved. This is not a sign of weakness to me. Also, you did not fall for Cheney’s trap. . If you released the photos he would had said “see, you are making our country less safe by releasing these photos”. Moreover, you did not cave in to the liberal left who are sometimes like a mob who care noting but to get justice and punish Bush and Co. at the expense of the troops. Never mind the fact that you are going over to Egypt soon. Who needs this at this time? No, you were pragmatic and instead of worrying about the public opinion of your so called base, you listen to yourself and the generals like you said you would. (Remember Folks)

You’ve seen one photo you’ve seen them all. What good would this do being broadcast by the cable news media Jackals over and over again 24 hours a day for rating purposes?

The biggest difference between Palin and Cheney is that Palin is just pure stupid and Cheney is just pure evil.

Every picture I see of Cheney he is always sneering. He is a spittin image of every snarling The Penguin in every Batman picture I have seen.

Best photo of seen of Cheney yet -- definitely a moment at his sincere best!!! Hey.... where is GWB to defend him........ Scary........ all these years in running the government -- GWB has actually been the silent partner in running the nation's issues and defenses --- as president -- YIKES!!

PEOPLES REQUEST: Mr. Cheney,

Where is GWB? Shouldn't he be the one to address the "issues" of our nations security within the last four months???? You and Palin got a photo contest going on .....or more????!!!!

Unbridled hypocrisy! Secrecy about EVERYthing Cheney did during the Bush administration, but full-volume opinions about how the Dems are wrong now. Why should anyone listen to him, even the conservatives? Surely they have a better leader to take their marching orders from. Wait, they don't. I guess desperation breeds contempt (to warp an old saying).

OK, I'LL ASK THE QUESTION AGAIN. IF CHENEY WAS SO RIGHT HOW COME HE DIDN'T RUN FOR P.O.T.U.S. IN 08. HMMMMMMMMMMMM.

You have to be human to run for President. Or at least a reasonable facsimile.

Aha!! That photo is proof positive that Cheney really was doing the ventriloquist act while Bush stood in front of the cameras, flapping his arms, moving his mouth and blinking like a good puppet!

I have a proposal that should get Cheney out of the headlines to the relief of all of us.

I pledge $1,000 toward a fund to send Cheney on an all-expense paid hunter's dream trip to Spain. It is a luxury hunting trip after the challenging red legged pheasant (perdiz brava. Brava, which means brave or tough. Just Cheney's style) in Spain. Here's a website that covers the great trip:
http://www.gourmetfly.com/Jose.htm

With a goal to raise $100,000 in pledges we could offer the former VP airfare and accommodations - all expenses paid including his SS protection - for this luxury hunting trip. It's a hunters dream. To sort of honor him for his VP service. We could call it " Cheney Ole' ".

Of course after his CBS interview, the trip would meet the dreams of many of us to have him go to Spain.

Anyway, I'll pledge $1,000. Anybody out there willing to jump in? The odds of him accepting the offer are slim, but hey, let's see if he'll turn it down.
