Dick Cheney reminds America that he is, in fact, a real asswipe

I recall not too long ago, people who said anything -- anything -- negative about President Bush (or any of his policies, pronouncements, signing statements etc.) were traitors, cowards, or terrorist-lovers.  That was back when the cowboy/idiot president was more or less a puppet with Dick Cheney pulling the strings from the secret, undisclosed, secure location.

Now that he's a "private citizen," Cheney is getting more airtime than that guy who won American Idol.  And he is using that time to go offensively on the offensive to rip on President Obama for trying to undo the colossal mess that he and W pooped onto America.  Today's snarl-fest at the American Enterprise Institute was typical [full text here].  I think Laurence O'Donnel put it best when he described the speech... "as sleazy a presentation from a vice president as we've had since Spiro Agnew. It was a complete abomination."  Ouch.  Of course, the truth hurts.  Cheney is a first-class asshole who is pretty much out to save his hide and perhaps that of a henchman or two. 

What an asshole. Unlike how he and his cronies blasted naysayers of the Bush/Cheney cabal, I appreciate his dissent .  Why?  Because he only reinforces how wrong, how arrogant, and how misguided the previous Republican administration really was.

Dick Cheney:  the new old face of the Republican Party.

I'd been reading some about his speech throughout the day (procrastinating) but I just got home and finally saw some snippets on the evening news. He truly is evil. The way he delivered those words was just so calm and low-key. You know he would never have tolerated a Clinton official criticizing Georgie that way.

And I really hate the term "harsh interrogation." If you believe what you did was right and justified, you wouldn't be working so hard to train us not to think it involved torture.
