Cheney Hides from American Public to Cowardly Attack President

Cheney was here in Dallas recently, to vist with the people who he gave millions in tax cuts so that they could tip him, i.e. buy his book. I think he pissed he wasn't invited to the most recent Bush LibaryMemeoryHole event.

Yet there were no public events, he just hid in the mansion of one of our local millionaires, slinging mud like the cowardly evil clown he is:

Cheney: Protests “Crazy,” Obama “A Train Wreck” | FrontBurner:

“I can’t get over the fact that he doesn’t have that sense of exceptionalism about America,” Cheney, addressing guests in the mansion’s big backyard, said of Obama."

It's always nice that the Hero of the Iraq War, "Six Draft Deferments Big Dick Cheney" is still around to continue to soil his legacy of criminality, violence, and war crimes.

Cheney wrong about Iraq, WMDs, terrorist connections, tax cuts that won't increase the Deficit, taking advice from Enron, not getting Bin Laden.

It you would like to stroll down memory lane of Cheney's record of complete failure both professionally and ethically, here's a nice summary:

NPR Style Book

When the US Government does it NPR it's called "harsh interrogation."

But when another country, like Chile, does the same thing NPR call's it "torture":

Ship Brings Peace, And Chile's Grim History, To Port : NPR:
"Chile's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Amnesty International have documented more than 100 cases of torture aboard the Esmeralda.

The victims recounted beatings, death threats and electric shocks to their genitals.

Alex Taylor, Amnesty International's Chile expert, says it is high time for the Navy to admit what it did."
Another day, another example of NPR's selective moral outrage.

Well, that didn't take very long, less than 24 hours.



"After initially telling reporters that it's "fine with me" if states like New York legalize same-sex unions through their own legislature, Perry is pulling a 180 and calling for a Federal Marriage Amendment.

Perry, who is flirting with a presidential bid, clarified his position to Family Research Council president Tony Perkins in an interview.

"I probably needed to add a few words after that 'it's fine with me' and that it's fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue," he said. "Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn't changed."

Once again, Gov. Good Hair demonstrates he'll say anything to get elected.

Some Elections Are More Equal Than Others


Yesterday a state referendum was held on a state's domestic partnership law, it passed by slim margin.

No, Grumpy is not confused or drinking early in the morning, in addition to Maine, where Gay Marriage lost, there was a referendum in Washington State (Who knew?). Not NPR' s Morning Edition.

"Washington's Referendum 71 -- which asked the state's voters to weigh in on the state's domestic partnership law -- was approved by a narrow 51-49 margin -- meaning same-sex couples get to keep state-granted rights otherwise given only to married couples. That's with 100 percent of the vote counted."

If you listened to NPR's Morning Edition this morning you would have heard numerous reports about the Maine referendum, also that 30 states have rejected Gay Marriage.

Number of time the Washington State vote was mentioned by NPR?

Never.

Yeah right, no agenda there.
