WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on Vice President Cheney's appearance today on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"Vice President Cheney's influence over our nation's foreign policy and defense has made America less safe. The Vice President was a chief architect of the effort to manipulate intelligence to build a case for invading Iraq, he ignored the threat of insurgencies, he took our eye off the ball in Afghanistan, and today he made clear that he would do nothing different. Vice President Cheney's appearance today proves that he just doesn't get it."

1. He Gets All He Wants, Including Away With It

Reid has never shown much skill at public speaking.

7. Feingold Should Have made THAT STATEMENT

Reid is Wussy.........not half the leader he was 2 years ago.....hmmmmm..is that DLC I smell???

[Nay]

2. He 'gets it' all right -- his job is to rake in the dough for his buddies,

degrade the nation so that assets can be stripped, and put the corps in charge of everything.

It's REID who doesn't get it -- he still thinks these bastards are just misguided or incompetent patriots. They aren't. They are rapists and despoilers who don't give a damn who gets hurt. In fact, they delight in abusing their power.

3. Thank you!

I wince every time I hear people say that rethugs "believe" this or that.
What they *say* has NOTHING to do with what they *believe*.

5. Could NOT have said it better, Nay. nt

14. Add me to the list. That comment was right on the nose.

15. And don't forget Lynn.

4. no Cheney gets it - he's just plain evil

6. Oh, Cheney gets it, all right

The performance today on MTP shows an obvious attempt to discredit the Senate Intelligence Report.

"I haven't read the report yet" - an obvious lie for the man who is widely acknowledged to be the actual leader of the country.

Dick Cheney hasn't read the latest report of the official Congressional authority of the intelligence communities in America? Right, pull the other one, it's got bells on it.

Combine that with The Snowblower's claim that the SIC report was "old news" and voila - an attempt to minimize, denigrate and discredit what should be headline news.

Not that we'll ever see that headline anywhere in America.

13. Distract and divert - VP Dick Cheaty is the master of deception

[The Wizard]

8. Oh for the good old days of

Pravda, TAAS and Izvestia. Dick Cheney will dictate what the news will be. Cheney looks bloated and probably retaing fluid, typical of someone ready for heart failure. So if Dick(tator) bites the dust does the bonehead appoint Ronald Dumsfeld, or John McCain VP?

9. MY Senator Reid

We in Nevada could not be more proud of Sen. Harry Reid; not only does he get it, he calls it as he (and we) see it!

VP "DICK" Cheney is a good little soldier, and lies for his boss at will... (Government Rule #1 Never admit your wrong, even if you are.)

The real problem is, he believes his crap?

[Jack Rabbit]

10. Of course he'll get it

His retirement at Halliburton grew because of his intelligence manipulation and the invasion. He'll get every penny.

[civildisoBDence]

11. Can't you just picture that radicalized jihadist thinking,

"Oooooh, I HATE those Americans who criticize Vice President Cheney!!!!"

What bullshit.

12. Watch out, Harry. Dick might get drunk and show up with a shotgun.

We all know how he gets when he's drinking.
