Damn it seemed like it was going to be a tour that Dick Cheney was going to be on for a while. His surrogate daughter filling the airwaves parroting the unsubstantiated claims that torture somehow makes the US safer. That While we had the biggest attack ever on our shores on the Bush/Cheney watch, they should only be judged by the period after the security lapse. But why did the Dick Cheney, "Obama makes us less safe tour" come to an end. Cheney was everywere for a while there and now I can't even remember the last time he did an interview for Fox News. Anyone have any ideas why Dick Cheney has grown silent on an issue he felt was of the utmost importance.to deliver to the American people? Why is it no longer important for Cheney to explain the errors of the Obama Administration and how his administration's model is the one that chould be followed? Seems like if it was as important as Dick Cheney said it was he would still be out trying to do the good work of protecting the American people from a dangerous Obama Administration?
His daughter was on MSNBC the day the NYTimes article broke about him quieting the CIA for 7 years. Of course she said this was all a conspiracy to make Pelosi seem less culpable. Me thinks the RNC folks finally told him to STFU- because not much else seemed to work.
Reading a book from Cheney would never do him justice. Words simply can not fully communicate the message coming from a grumpy looking, older man, slouched over in his chair, with no visible neck- and an "I'm about to kick your *** as soon as this interview is over" look on his face. Then, add in the voice that allegedly was used as the voice of Gargamoil on the Smurfs when I was a kid. For those reasons alone I will not buy his book.
So now Dick Cheney thinks that writing his memoirs is more important than his selfless quest to protect the American People from Obama's recklessness? Hmmm... guess even Ag with Kids wasn't buying the wrap Cheney in the Flag explanation of why he was on the air so much attacking Obama.
Really classy stuff Roma. Weren't you posting on the Kennedy thread earlier about this kind of thing?
Yeah Roma. Can we get a shot of Mary Jo's face too? Regarding Cheney taking more shots at his buddy Harry than Jenna Jameson, you're just plain wrong. However, had you said that Cheney got off as many shots as Slick Willie took at Monica's blue dress, then you would have been accurate. If that matters to you.
That really wasn't necessary Roma, Better to focus on the lie that Dick Cheney was doing anything for anyone other than Dick Cheney. If he were concerned for the American people and viewed his premises as legitimate he would still be out being a true patriot and warning the American People of the dangers of not following his national security prescription. Or perhaps Dick Cheney thinks that now we are no longer in danger from Obama's policies? Assuming you take him at his word in that his prior concerns were only for the American People as a selfless former public servant, to not be speaking out now on the dangers indicates what? in your opinion.
Cheney is an evil genius. If he stays visible but keeps his distance from the GOP (and its candidates), he'll draw fire from Obama in 2012.
It's OK, Summer. Triplehorn got the message to get this talking point out to the bbs and posted it on the other thread.
Actually, I think what transpired is that polls showed Obama was losing the battle to Cheney. So Obama stopped attacking Cheney and Cheney went away and went back to what he was doing before Obama began threatening him with criminal charges.
Interesting not a single person stated that perhaps the news that Cheney was involved the keeping programs secret from the oversight of congress had anything to do with the disappearance from the scene. In fact I do not believe I have heard a single interview with Cheney since this news broke. Probably just an unfortunate coincidence, as Ag with Kids said, it's probably a lot more likely that writing his memoirs are the reason we have seen the great patriot on his keep America safe like I did tour....
I take it you're suggesting he was quieted by press mentions he directed the CIA not to reveal a program to assassinate leaders of AQ to Congress. A program ended on Obama's watch. Which, ironically, lends credence to his charges. btw, why are you so upset with his assertion that Obama's policies are making America less safe? Obama leveled the same charges at the Bush administration. Have you noticed though that Obama is retaining many of the Bush policies he formerly criticized?
We all learned the last 8 years Cheney does not give one rats *** about the American people, except to steal from them.
