Cheney Criticizes Dean Over Remarks
:rofl: :rofl:

WASHINGTON -
Howard Dean is "over the top," Vice President
Dick Cheney says, calling the Democrats' chairman "not the kind of individual you want to have representing your political party."

"I've never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does. He's never won anything, as best I can tell," Cheney said in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

Dean was elected governor of Vermont five times between 1992 and 2000. He ran for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination but closed down his campaign after poor showings in early primaries.

In recent weeks, Dean has described the GOP as "pretty much a white, Christian party" and said many Republicans have "never made an honest living." Republican leaders have called on him to apologize, and even some Democrats have distanced themselves from his remarks.

1. Sounds like a self-description, to me.
Dick has a face only a mother could love - a motherfucker, in his vernacular:

4. Aaahhh yes, the "yo' momma" response is very statesman like
Wasn't this the same guy who had a hissy fit when his lesbian daughter was acknowledged? And now he's talking about the DNC Chairman's mom??!!?

My opinion: Unleash Momma Dean on the fucker. She could take him.

5. I can't believe dick said that. Dean is a good man. He's done a lot for
the people of Vermont. dick, however has done alot for the thieves at Halliburton. The world would be much better off if dick had never been born.

6. Cheney calling anyone over the top is absurd!
Cheney:
"if Kerry is elected the terrorists will attack us again"

7. I believe Howard Dean won the governorship ot Vermont. Twice.
Edited on Sun Jun-12-05 12:08 PM by terrya
I think, Dick, that's why Dean has been referred to as "Governor Dean". :sarcasm:

What a load of bullshit from Dick. This just proves that Dean did the right thing.

I know he survived the civil unions issue in Vermont.

Dean IS going to love this. :-)

He's pushing the right buttons.

15. Yeah, never won anything besides Vermont Gov. 5 times
and being unanimously elected to DNC chair. LMAO, maybe his mother loved him. Pretty tough speak for a guy whose approval rating is in the 20's. :rofl: :spray:

17. Sometimes the
measure of man is clearest by observation of his enemies.

If that is true, Dean's enemies are a clear indication that Dean deserves our all out support!

Satire works better than other methods when taking on people like Cheney. See my story on the Air-Dropping of "Smile" buttons in the Middle East on my website (link above).

29. You know Dean is doing something right when....
he's criticized by Dick Cheney... He's sticking it to them and they know it so they will attempt to destroy his character. That's the way they operate.

35. Wow thats a lot of Faux appearances lately
Chimp boy ventured out the other day to blather something unintelligible about Michael Jacksons trial, and now pResident Cheney feels the need to insult Dean.

Anyone would think they were reacting to something they were afraid of........ Hang on a minute

I'd say that's better than Uncle Dick right there.

42. And this is Dean's Retort..
"My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News," Dean said. That was in response to vice president Dick Cheney calling Howard Dean "over the top" on Fox News on Sunday."
