Should Cheney Resign? (Ultra Barf Alert!)

The Atlantic ^ | March 6, 2007 | Andrew Sullivan

[2ndDivisionVet]

His health is rough; he has been the most disastrous vice-president in history; he has lost two wars; he has lost every ally; he is despised in much of the country; he is now going to be the center of all the questions that the Libby guilty verdict raise. Why did he get so exercized about a two-bit critic during a critical time in the Iraq war? Why would he risk losing his most trusted aide by coordinating a media sting on a minor political opponent? Why would he risk committing a crime to pursue Wilson unless he had something very serious to hide? He will now have to answer many questions - either before the press or before the Senate. Mark Daniels asks the right questions:

They sure did. Poor President Reagan was constantly called senile for forgetting things or so they said. During those contra trials I wanted to kill the media. They made it seem like he was a dingbat. How dare they?

"He has lost two wars..."

Or so you hope you pig. Your Dem buddies In congress better
get busy before they lose their opportunities to lose these
wars.

Mega green projectile puke on you Mr. Andrew Sullivan, and
I'm one Irishman who hopes you never have a good St. Paddy's
Day again....JJ61

Andrew Sullivan is a raving lunatic. You cannot take this guy's rantings seriously.

TMI!! TMI!!!

I always thought SNL had the best skits about Reagan--around the press he'd be a dimwitted idiot, but behind the scenes he'd be the sharpest tack in the box. :-)

Sounds a bit like our current CIC, eh?

[rockrr]

Hey Andrew you degenerate piece of shiite - even if Mr. Cheney had only one ally, I would be proud to be it. (you on the other hand - I wouldn't cross the street to pee on you if you were on fire).

Sit on it and spin...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Andy, you ignorant slut.

Given the effectiveness with which the administration has been defending itself of late, it wouldn't surprise me if BOTH Cheney and Gonzales resigned before the year was out.

The Dims and MSM have them completely on defense. Apologizing, admitting mistakes, throwing Rumsfeld overboard, etc. Meanwhile, they are having some successes in the WOT and North Korea, and the news cycle gets completely taken over by silly, petty federal attorney firings. They are so far back on their heels, the Dims are scoring layup after layup. Pathetic, really.

Meanwhile, the President is down in Mexico groveling over illegals. Like his father he is fighting desperately for a legacy, even one defined by the Democrats. Sooner or later, it seems, all presidents figure out that the history books are written by socialists.

The fact that an article like this can have one ounce of credibility is less repulsive than the fact that the administration will take it seriously and start apologizing, admitting mistakes and throwing people overboard.

I wish he were. He passed away in 2002.

Lies are worthless unless they are strung together to create a story exactly opposite the truth. There cannot be a scintella of truth in the deception of these Marxists or their fantasy will tumble around them. They must provide a complete fabrication, finished in every detail, an alternate reality.
They stand against the truth in pure Machiavellian rhetoric, ready to provide an evil concoction, a witches brew of connivance sufficient to give the weak of mind and the hateful a conspiracy with which to fight the truth.

He [Andrew Sullivan] seems to be doing pretty well for a guy who has supposedly had HIV for so many years. Do you think he just made it up to become more popular with the "bug chasers" at his circuit parties?

To paraphrase 'The Shadow'...

"Who knows what evil lurks in the groins of [queer] men?"

[quantim]

he has lost two wars;

That's interesting.

[politicalwit]

Sounds a bit like our current CIC, eh?

NO, GWB is no Ronald Reagan!! Not even close.

I must have been in a coma and missed all of this...or perhaps Andy is just over the top (no pun intended) and needs to check his meds.

[Foolsgold]

How about we do a
"America's most wanted Poster"
Showing pictures and details of all the "Other Guys" that could be e-mailed and printed?
We have an issue with (notso) Feinstein and her husband making huge profits from the desert protection bill, and closed military bases in San Fran.

[Lancey Howard]

I would say what I think about Sullivan but then I'd have to go in rehab.

[pillut48]

I was referring to his behavior with the press, and the way
he is viewed by those on the inside--not his political boo-boos. :-)

Andrew's pant load...

According to James H. Hallas, Killing Ground on Okinawa: The Battle for Sugar Loaf Hill (Praeger, 1996), US ground forces lost 7,613 killed or missing during the Okinawa campaign (82 days), along with 31,312 wounded and 26,211 "other" casualties; the US Navy lost 4,320 killed and 7,312 wounded. The Sixth Marine Division lost 8,227 killed or wounded (including over 2,000 in the seven days it took to take Sugar Loaf Hill).

[Verginius Rufus]

There were single days in the Civil War when more men were killed than the Americans who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.
