MOD ADD - To benefit our posters, I am inserting a section of the article so readers can see the specifics of the issue:
Most striking were his virtually taunting remarks of two men he described as friends from his own days in the House: Democratic Reps. John Dingell (Mich.) and John P. Murtha (Pa.).
In a 40-minute interview with Politico, he scoffed at the idea of two men who spent years accruing power showing so much deference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the big spending and energy debates of the year.
Murtha “and the other senior leaders … march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to an extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker,” Cheney said. “I’m trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn’t have happened.”
But his implication was clear: When asked if these men had lost their spines, he responded, “They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.”
Cheney is certainly a man that should be listened to and respected, with all the credibility he has built up over the years. LOL.
Spineless? How about skipping Vietnam because he had other "personal priorities". Multiple times. Really loves our country, ready to make some sacrifices for Freedom.
Talks real tough though.
I thought they had him muzzled and locked him up in the White House cellar for the rest of his term...did somebody let him sneak out??
Poor Dick. Rove is gone, DeLay is gone, Frist is gone, Libby is gone, Gonzalez and Rumsfeld are gone, and nobody pays any attention to Georgie-Boy. The Veep has got no strings left to pull. Guess he'll just have to sit there for thirteen more months and play Sudoku...

Gee, maybe his 'Big Stick' was at the cleaners during the Vietnam era, certainly couldn't expect him to 'be a man' without it.

Yeah, I saw what a 'friend' Cheney is when all the Scooter Fibby deal was going down. Even though he claimed to be such a good friend he also claimed to have had no contact for quite a period. With friends like that you'd still need to find some who are your friends when you need them.

Kind of like Hillary and Vince Foster.
