Wise Republicans would distance themselves from this lunatic. I doubt there are many wise Republicans left in the party these days. They've been driven out by the radical religious fringe.

What do these words have in common?

Zmlknout (Czech)…Cállate (Spanish)…Cale a boca (Portuguese)…Se taire (French)…Inchide (Romanian)…Zašuti (Croatioin)…Stai zitto (Italian)…Hold kjeft (Norwegian)…and halt den Mund (German)?

The answer: they all are ways of saying “Shut up” in different languages. And according to The Hill, that’s the message Congressional Republicans are trying to communicate to former Vice President Dick Cheney who rather than being “stuck on stupid” is seemingly stuck in campaign 2008. Since leaving office he has given a series of high profile interviews talking about President Barack Obama and the new administration using language suggesting he thinks he’s still on the stump with Karl Rove advising him.

In fact President Bush was catching he!! from the republican base daily.
Fox news and talk radio ditto.
The bitterness required to so gleefully wish for vice-president Chenys abasement as described above is beyond words.
Words allowed here anyway.
abasement? you bet he belongs in a basement.

The big difference is that Bush and his administration lied to everyone,
How so? By believing what the CIA, UN, France, Germany, Russia, every intelligence agency around the world, the democrats, Clinton, Gore...believed?

Just because the CIA and every other intelligence agency was wrong, does not make it a lie.

Based on what I've read, it was well deserved. Can you point to the law he broke when telling that slimy leahy where to go?

You're going to have to get a little more explicit than that. He didn't torture, or anything else.

You must be kidding! Cheney is doing a beautiful job exposing obama for the weak-kneed dithering liberal that he is - and it cost him nothing to do it. And the press just eats it up, which is a guarantee his comments will be aired over and over again.

Perfect.

Retired General calls Cheney ‘incompetent war fighter’

"The record is clear: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were incompetent war fighters," Eaton said in a statement released Thursday. "They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years with a crude approach to counter-insurgency warfare best illustrated by: 1. Deny it. 2. Ignore it. 3. Bomb it. While our intelligence agencies called the region the greatest threat to America, the Bush White House under-resourced our military efforts, shifted attention to Iraq, and failed to bring to justice the masterminds of September 11."

I too agree. I keep hoping Obama will get some nads and prosecute the duo for war crimes. If he doesn't end the unsanity he may get himself a seat at the trial. hanging with scum tends to have a way of rubbing off.

Oh and You can add Rumsfeld with the worse slime to hit Washington too. the two of them, were chums and kept each other around.

I find it constantly amazing that the very same people who tie themselves in knots trying to prove that U.S. citizens having a public health care option is unconstitutional will turn around and full heartedly embrace the one man who has done more to shred the constitution than any other elected official in the history of our country.

Cheney was not the president, therefore he was not a "war fighter" or to be more technically accurate "Commander-In-Chief."

During the Bush presidency, dozens of those on the most-wanted list were captured or killed. I stopped keeping track some years back, but the last figure I remember is 45 of the 55 most-wanted foreign terrorists and/or dictators captured or killed.

Can you post data showing that Cheney ordered anyone to be "tortured?" There was no "conspiracy" to plunge the U.S. in a war. Several investigations prove that. And Congress voted to take action against Saddam and Iraq. Next time, try posting accurate information!

The only lunatics are the ones with Cheney Derangement Syndrome.
