Big Surprise: Torture Memos Belie Cheney’s Claims

Liz Cheney Deflects Questions About Her Father Keeping Secrets From Congress, And Shows Her Lack Of Knowledge With Regards To The Law
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009Liz Cheney must have broken some sort of record as to how many times one can field the same question without actually answering it.
What is more important than Cheney refusing to answer Mika Brzezinski’s questions, is Cheney’s blatant disregard for the law that binds the CIA to brief Congress on any action the CIA is [...]
Accountability May Be In Cheney’s Near Future
Monday, July 13th, 2009From Common Dreams:
Dick Cheney’s accountability moment may finally be arriving.

Marc Thiessen Sees How Much Bullshit He Can Fit Into 30 Seconds
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009Here is Leon Panetta’s exact quote:
It’s almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it’s almost as if he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that’s dangerous politics.
In this clip, Thiessen takes exaggeration to a whole new level. Thiessen also went on [...]
Cheney Says Bush Deliberately Passed The Buck When It Came To Making The Tough Decisions On GM
Thursday, June 4th, 2009The best part of this is Cheney tried to justify it by saying they were looking out for Obama.

Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) spoke last night at a dinner of the Foreign Policy Association, where he lambasted former Vice President Dick Cheney’s speech last week for dishonestly claiming that the interrogation techniques he approved were not torture, and were not connected to Abu Ghraib — saying that Cheney “bore false witness”:

Maybe Dick Has Just Lost His Marbles
Monday, May 11th, 2009Vin Weber said that he would have advised Cheney to not choose either.
The funny thing is, Bob Schieffer never asked him to choose. Schieffer simply asked him, with regards to the Colin Powell and Rush Limbaugh fiasco, “where do you come down?” There was nothing in that clip that would have made Cheney [...]
Cheney Says He May Testify Under Oath…Please
Monday, May 11th, 2009When Cheney was asked if he would be willing to testify under oath, his response was quite cryptic:
I’d have to see what the circumstances are and what kind of precedent we were setting. But certainly I wouldn’t be out here today if I didn’t feel comfortable talking about what we’re doing publicly.
Of course you feel [...]
Cheney Chooses Limbaugh Over Powell
Sunday, May 10th, 2009Is this a surprise to anyone who knows anything about Dick Cheney?
Limbaugh has so much more in common with Cheney. For instance:
Dick Cheney dodged the draft, as did Rush.
Both love to send other people’s loved ones to war.
Both are horribly foul mouthed, just ask Senator Leahy about Cheney.
Both are addicts. Cheney is addicted to [...]
