Op-odds and sods

So Frank Rich has departed the The New York Times for smaller pastures, leaving one wondering who is to replace him on the hallowed—and increasingly right-leaning—op-ed pages of the Grey Lady. Hm...

Grayson: Hey Cheney, shut the f?!k up

The former vice president and White House puppetmaster just can't keep his trap closed of late, accusing President Obama more or less of treason. Even ballsier lawmaker Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat, dismisses Big Dick with four familiar letters.

Scenes from a new reckoning

What a day. Here are a few moments to remember it by...

Cheney gives a big FU to America

Dick Cheney spoke frankly on Good Morning America today in re: to 5th Anniversary of the Grand Blunder. Via Think Progress:

CHENEY: On the security front, I think there's a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That's been a major success.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls

Big Dick also doesn't give a shit what the Pentagon thinks either. Despite the exhaustive report it recently released showing virtually no connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, Cheney (during his "surprise" visit to Iraq) insists there was one, so his word alone justifies our five years of clusterfuck.

Mind you, he was answering a Gannonesque softball tossed to him at the Baghdad news conference by his own official biographer, a guy who wrote a book entirely devoted to justifying Cheney's delusions.
