dick cheney is currently out doing the rounds of media/press in order to, uh, defend the administrations strategy in iraq? put a better public face on the bush white house?
actually i have no idea why he’s out doing the rounds of media/press, as he almost always comes across as a bully/ogre/oddball.
here’s one of my favorite dick cheney quotes, from a recent newsweek interview, showing our vice-president in all of his adult, statesmanlike, ‘above the fray’ best:

Q: Regarding other comments—criticism from (your old friend)Brent Scowcroft about not knowing you anymore. People have gotten quite personal, people you worked with before. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have some reaction.

Cheney: Well, I’m vice president and they’re not.

so, what?
our vice-president is a 7 year old?
2nd in command after bush, and the best he can do when asked about criticism is to say: ‘i’m vice president and they’re not’?
maybe the p.r people at the white house should ask dr. evil(aka dick cheney)to stay out of the public eye for a while?
and in a recent interview he was visibly upset and shaken when a journalist asked about cheney’s gay daughter.
cheney said something like: ‘that’s off limits, a question like that is way out of line’.
but, uh, cheney’s daughter is publicly gay. she’s a public figure, and she publicly has a girlfriend/life-partner. so how is
asking about the vice-presidents gay daughter out of line?
again, maybe dick cheney should take a little media break, as i’m not sure if he’s actually helping his cause by being in the public eye.

Dick cheney, when asked today about the war in iraq said:
“It may not be popular with the public, but it doesn’t matter.”
Wait, why do they let him out into the general public?
70% of the population of the united states thinks that the war in iraq is a mistake and that the bush administration have no real plan in iraq, and they put cheney on the road to campaign on a pro-iraq platform?
In other news, have you been paying attention to the story wherein the head of the evangelical churches of america, a right-wing republican, an advisor to the bush administration, who has now admitted to buying crystal meth from a male escort and paying the male escort for, uh, ‘massages’?
Boy, the gop are in great shape…
i seriously don’t understand how anyone can support the republicans at this point.
maybe all of this will get the republicans to realize that a platform of:
war/corruption/indictments/hypocrisy/corporate-welfare/anti-science/etc is not the way
to go…
3 days to go.
