Dear Dick Cheney: EAT ME.
Not that my blog audience haven't read this already, or that there aren't less guttersnipe-mouthed analysts greater than I willing to weigh in the on the subject, but our pustule-pated ex-Vice President has again told us that if we follow Obama into the future, we're more likely to get nuked by Al Qaeda. Again, I must fight the urge to end every paragraph with "FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING FUCK!"
You don't get it, do you, Dick? You miserable, dissembling, putrescent wretch of a human being - YOU DON'T COUNT ANYMORE. YOU LOST. You don't get to tell anyone how to do anything anymore. You are no longer the Vice President, you are no longer a Senator, you are no longer ANYTHING - I just passed a homeless guy on the Venice boardwalk singing "Lean on Me" for loose change, and you have exactly as much power - and cultural relevance - as him.
Because of your choices, your politics of fear and your relentless terror-mongering, I spent most of 2002 in a state of non-functioning PTSD and shock, and it took years of therapy and drugs to get me to where I can see you clearly for what you are: a warped, twisted old fuck with blood lust and The Lie as his magnetic North.
Might a terrible terrorist attack happen while Obama is President? Yes, it might, and it might be horrifying, but if and when that bomb goes off, I will turn my bloodshot eyes towards YOU, and point the finger directly at your cold, empty heart - for it is YOU that has stoked the anger of the Muslim world, and it is YOU that continues to foment rage while the rest of us moved mountains to get rid of your bloated, poisonous presence in our Government.
You even lied about Guantanamo today, you arteriosclerotic fucker, saying that 61 prisoners had been released and had subsequently rejoined terrorist groups. That is a widely-known, absolute falsehood, and worse yet, YOU KNOW IT.
But let's get back to the main point: if terrorists strike America during Obama's tenure, it is YOUR FAULT. PERIOD.
As for the rest of the Republicans, they can go fuck themselves too. What a sad, sorry spectacle for America to endure. The only thing they they've got going for them is the possibility of Barack Obama failing with the economy, so they're doing everything they can to derail the stimulus package - even after the Democrats caved in and gave them some of the useless tax reductions they wanted.
The G.O.P. - who, no doubt, would have made Republicans of the '50s and '60s weep with horror - care only about power, and the keeping of same. They are willing to let the overwhelming bulk of Americans writhe in fiscal agony for the sake of scorched-earth political maneuvering; truly, if we're not outraged, we're not paying attention.
Obama, his Cabinet, McCaskill, Tester, Gillbrand... clearly, they are all better people than me. Even though they throttled the Republican Party in the last two elections, they're still willing to work with them. The Dems in charge are clinging to their last strands of post-partisanship and patience, but I promise, it will not be rewarded.
These conservatives, the new breed of power-mad fucktrons and the old, creaky matrons of Blow Me™ politics, know nothing except what team they're on, and like JD said in "Heathers", they're only good for date rape and AIDS jokes. They keep telling us that Arabs are so simian and simple-minded that all they respect is overwhelming force; seems to me they were too dumb to realize they were talking about themselves.
Posted by Ian Williams at February 4, 2009 11:35 PMLadie & gentlemen . . . may I present the kinder & gentler Democrat Party presented to you in Technicolor by the ever-warm and ever-fuzzy Leftie, Mr. Ian Williams. [applause].
While I can hate on Cheney with the best of them (and Ian, you may be the best of the best!), I can't honestly say he is the only or even principal cause of radical Islam's hatred of the West. Those fanatics were on their evil path well before Cheney reared his Elmer-Fudd head as W's veep. (Oh no, I just had a flashback to a Palinism re: Putin's head looming over Alaska!)
But, yeah, I am already sick to death of neo-cons gleefully predicted that Obama will be a giant FAIL with the economy, terrorism, blah blah blah. Get over it, losahs. It's our turn to fuck with your minds now.
Cheney is an ass clown. Twas ever thus.
I think some of the objections to the stimulus bill are legit, at least the ones that ask why more of the stimulus doesn't happen sooner. Well meaning and much needed spending may have to take a back seat to what truly will create jobs and spending *now*, in my opinion (an opinion that is nearly bereft of economics knowledge, but still.....).
LMAO @ dean. That's a good one.
I think that Ian's attack on the other GOPers is unfounded. The stimulus package will pass, once they actually put a little more "stimulus" in there. The version the House passed was pathetic. Pelosi should go walk in front of moving traffic. There was less than 12 cents of stimulus for every $1 in that bill. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
The funny thing is I believe Obama is more aligned with the Republicans on some of what needs to be done here. At least he had the wisdom to take that stupid "Buy America" clause out of the bill. What a crock of shit that was. Really smart to pick a trade fight in this economic environment. We're 5% of the world population, people. We better fucking start acting like it.
good lord ian. now you're blaming terrorist attacks that might not even happen on dick cheney? this obsession is beginning to get a little weird.
Wow.........
I may not be able to buy that it was all his fault but as far as I can tell the last one on 9/11 was on his watch...but there never seems to be much in the neo-con narrative which explains why that was.
the funny thing is that i am still afraid of dick cheney. even though he has no power anymore that fucker still scares me.
totally!
dick cheney is a boil on the ass of america.
There were no Muslims attacking us until Bush & Cheney fucked everything up. This is true if you 100% forget, ignore, discount all the attacked during the 1990's when (dare I say it) a Democrat was the President. Remember the bombing at the World Trade Center (during the ACC Tournament in Charlotte where James Forrest single-handedly kileld us), the bombings of embassies, the bombing of our ship in Yemen. Remember? Remember? Bueller?
By Ian's logic, it is all Clinton's fault. But, wait, no Muslims hated USA prior to Bush, right? Nope, the fanatics from the religion of peace loved us.
Just playing your game, fellas. Cheney is framing the argument that any terrorist attack on Obama's watch will be Obama's fault. I am simply returning the caveman logic.
I could argue that if Bush/Cheney's response to 9/11 were different, Islamist terror would be a non-issue by now. But it's more fun to use expletives. Plus, I hadn't heard from some of you in a while!
"Dick Cheney's fondest pipe dream is driving a bulldozer into the NY Times while drinking crude oil out of Keith Olbermann's skull"IMO- one of the funniest things ever said.
If we can get Cheney to go away, can you get Al Gore to do the same?????!!!!
cheney... now i can only picture him in that wheel chair like the daily show image.
so as soon as i read that article, i immediately went into response mode. (sometimes i think i'm a press flak or something.) not that the administration even needs to deign him with a response, but if they did - they could say... "we understand the stakes and will be accountable for our actions. i can promise you, however, that we will not ignore a memo that's titled 'bin laden determined to strike inside the U.S.'"
You've got Chaney dead to rights, but I think you owe an apology to that homeless guy on the Venice boardwalk.
Screw Cheney. Like Palin, I wonder why the media continues to give him a platform. Whatever....
I just watched this video on Huff Post
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/05/obama-time-for-action-is_n_164317.htmland I have to say I still get all giddy inside when I see that man. All hail the Chief!
What Bob said - and to the other Republicans who got lumped into the fray. I read an op-ed piece that noted that Obama should sit down and talk with Cheney about why they did what they did because, hate 'em with explitives, they did prevent us from being attacked on our own soil since 9-11. I do think they dipped the wick in that oil too many times and scare mongered more than they helped, but we didn't get attacked here. So maybe they did do something right.
Just something to think about before you walk in on day one and sign an order to close down Guantanamo. And maybe it was time (probably was), but are we sure we're "safer" for it.
And even though I'm lumped in with Darth and the homeless guy, I still enjoyed the read.
What creeped me out the most was listening to the way He spoke. Nevermind that he is full of shit. Or even what he said at all. His deep, graveling, mournful, slow, doomed tone and modulation was frightening. The Dr. Strangeloveness of it all. He-Who-Must-Not-Be Named. It was scary!
Most of his old friends can’t explain what happened to him. Before he became VP he seemed like a decent enough fellow, for a Republican. But since 2000 he transformed into something awful and peculiar.
He has a voice that sends chills up the spines of children and parents alike.
