From Wikipedia, which cites the Chicago Sun-Times:
The family also insists that Mary isn’t gay, she’s ghee.
This morning, everyone’s talking about this Washington Post profile, which contains the priceless tale of a quietly chuckling Dick Cheney telling Dan Quayle that 43’s veep ain’t gonna do the traditional funerals-and-fundraisers thang. That was for lesser Vice Presidents.
The Post article plays it cute, in that it begins by denying that Dick is the power behind the throne, and then goes on to prove that very point. Here’s one for the 9/11 researchers:
“There was a groan in the room that I won’t forget, ever,” one witness said. “It seemed like one groan from everyone” — among them Rice; her deputy, Stephen J. Hadley; economic adviser Lawrence B. Lindsey; counselor Matalin; Cheney’s chief of staff, Libby; and the vice president’s wife.
Cheney made no sound. “I remember turning my head and looking at the vice president, and his expression never changed,” said the witness, reading from a notebook of observations written that day. Cheney closed his eyes against the image for one long, slow blink.
Three people who were present, not all of them admirers, said they saw no sign then or later of the profound psychological transformation that has often been imputed to Cheney.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t Bush done more in the way of funerals-and-fundraisers than has Tricky Dick II?
If anyone falls into this TRAp I’ll be surprised Joe…or maybe not. 😉
ah an unnamed witness says Evil Dick’s “expression never changed” – this is damning evidence, damning i tell you.
I’m still hoping for you to remove those links from your lower left menu & link to Hoffman’s site instead, or maybe at least offer both sides of the debate.
The Dick should be remembered as a conspirator with Gonzales to obstruct justice and as no records dick.
Maybe Dick’s trying to have people pronounce his name more like “genie” (or “djinni”), as this guy keeps somehow able to grant wishes of letting these guys off the hook from inside his bottle of secrecy! Dick, Barbara Eden you ain’t!!! Sooner or later you’re going to pay the price!
