Cheney Reminisces : Rummy Wouldn't Hire Me and I Was Booted From Yale

[elehhhhna]

The vice president, 65, cited his first disastrous meeting with now-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld back in the 1960s, when Rumsfeld was a congressman and Cheney was interviewing for a fellowship on Capitol Hill.
"Things didn't go all that well," Cheney recounted. "In fact, he pretty much threw me out of his office."

"Don had an impression of me was that I was kind of a detached, theoretical, impractical academic type," he said. "And I thought he was a brash young politician with attitude. We were both right."

....

He confessed that he had started his college years at Yale, but dropped out after a few semesters.
"Actually, dropped out isn't quite accurate," he added. "'Asked to leave' would be more like it. Twice. The second time around, they said, don't bother coming back."

1. Dick Cheney is nothing if not impractical

and Rumsfeld has "attitude" to spare.

Fuckers.

2. Okay Dick, you're a failure. That much is clear.

But why do you insist on taking the rest of the free world down with you?

3. Cheney is a fuckup like pRes * & LOL: Cheney was an "academic

type?" He was "asked to leave" by Yale twice. Yeah, right, he's academic. :crazy:
:spank:

4. And why is that something to brag about?

He squandered something that very few people get a shot at- for what? Booze? Just general laziness?

5. he was addresssing a graduating class, and from what I read of the

speech, his object was to brag & lord-over his being a TOTAL ASSHAT who has powers of life or death over , well, millions of people.

[cliss]

6. Well, I'm glad the fool confirmed that for me.

I was always under the impression that Cheney never finished college.

So how in the hell did he get his 5 deferments, in order to weasel out of the Viet Nam war?
