Dirty Dick

No, really. I expect to see him start oozing green slime and need a treatment with some kind of antibiotics...clap if you love the little turdlet. Since the politics of fear is all that the 1600 Crew has to run on, it's unsurprising that Crashcart made this statement:

It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice," Mr. Cheney told a crowd of 350 people in Des Moines, "because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."

He also said if Mr. Kerry was elected the nation risked lapsing to a "pre-9/11 mind-set'' where attacks are viewed as criminal acts, not part of a war against terrorism.

Yo, Dick...I thought that the pre-9/11 mindset was taking a vacation for the entire month of August, 2001 in Crawford and having the National Security Advisor out on 9/11 to give a speech about the 1600 Crew's biggest gift to defense contractors before the Mess in Mesopotamia: Missile Defense, a non-working system for a non-existant threat.

Yeah, more of that thinking...bankrupting the country, which by the way is a legitimate National Security concern.

The funniest part of this: Crashcarts handlers tried to spin these remarks after the meeting in Iowa. If I can get the spin, I'll post it. Pretty amusing that. I wonder if that counts as a "flip-flop"?

Same old formula, make a completely outrageous comment, then tell everyone;

"That's not what I ment, YOU heard me wrong."

Then he or one of his minions will tell you something completely different. Two bites at the apple for one insult.

It'll be just the same as when he said Go F*** yourself. A complete news cycle devoted to him and his message.

Get the joke?

Well that makes me feel safer. The crew who allowed the greatest breech of national security in American history assures us that we will be attacked if they are not re-selected.

Our borders are still so porous we can't control them. Our Border Patrol services are understaffed and single digit percentages of shipping containers are inspected when entering the country. We have an Attorney General who is out of touch with reality and sees terrorist under every bed, yet can't seem to catch any. At least not without taking away more of our civil rights.

Well guess what. We are vulnerable to another attack no matter who wins this election. It will take time to correct the failings of this administration and reinforce our Homeland Security to handle potential threats. I think we will be more susecptible to an attack if we keep the same bunch of incompetents in office.

Hey, very clever bit of programming here. I'm trying to post a rebuttal, but it won't let me. Claims it's spam. Ha! Why have to listen to other arguments? Don't let facts get in the way!

Buzz,
my spam blocker sometimes sees certain words as "spam". Not a reflection of your content, rather a reflection of the words. It looks like something had the text string s o m a (see,I can't even concatenate that without getting blocked) in it. Think of an alternative word, or toss a space into the offending text string.
Sorry for the trouble.
Jo

The best line I saw on this was on Countdown tonight. Olbermann had Bill Press discussing this latest monstrosity with David Dreier.

After Dreier twisted himself into knots explaining how Cheney's statement was correct (somehow...) Olbermann read a "clarification" issued by Cheney's madly backtracking press secretary: Asked whether Cheney stood by his statement, Womack replied, “The vice president stands by my explanation of the statement.”
