Cheney Feels He Doesn't OWE Us An Explanation --->
As per the Washington Post reporter just now on the Newshour. Said the WH feels it would be best if he stepped forward and spoke to the press and said he was sorry, but Cheney feels he's talking to Whittington privately and he doesn't owe us an explanation.

Well you know what, Dick? I want my ambulance back. And my mansion, and my private plane, and the helicopters and the full-time medical staff, and your freaking salary too.

It's time to throw Dick Cheney overboard. He's unfit for office.

3. What, still no response from Crashcart?
Sorry, but Snotty is not a response to anything.

4. A friend of mine said today that he hopes Whittington will die
So that Cheney will be smeared. He said thw guy was 78 years old and had lived long enough anf that his death from Cheney would have greater impact than living.

9. well that's terrible and your friend is going to hell
I hope Whittington lives to be a hundred, because that's how long it's going to take to sue Dick's ass off.

13. No, no, no. Tell your friend they should hope for Cheney to croak.
Think of all the money we'd save by not having to support Halliburton any more.

He owes us plenty and he will pay in the long run.

His greed is in outer space.

6. HA! But Bill Clinton owed us an explanation about a blow job? Give me a
fucking break.

The taxpayers are footing the bill for Cheney's life, so he owes it to the taxpayers to explain why he shot a guy with a shotgun.

Duh.

11. riiiiight....
Darth Cheney's reckless accident resulting in traumatic injury is "a private matter" and nonna our biz, while Bill's blow jobs are the subject of a national inquisition.

Yeah first thing I thought too. :eyes:

15. A five thousand dollar shotgun.
At least, that's the price of the cheapest Pelazzi, I hear.

7. Of course, no one in the Bush admin apologizes for anything...
Imagine if Cheney would! His image of being the devil incarnate who's only interested in the almighty dollar might be tarnished forever!

WE employ HIM. Answer the questions, Dick.

12. This man conspired to get our kids into the Iraq war, knowing he
was lying through his teeth about the facts that took us to war, and knowing our kids were going to get blown up and he didn't feel he owed us an explanation. He would be happy to put us into perpetual war where he and his oil buddies can continue operating at 242% profit margins, without feeling he owes us an explanation.

Why would anyone think that he owes us an explanation now when he shoots somebody?

14. I don't think it's about arrogance -
I just think that Dick has no idea what to say about this. He's not sorry - he's probably mad at Whittington for getting in his way. He doesn't have an ounce of sympathy for another human being, and he's not about to start now.

Remember the Vice Presidential debates last year? Kerry was baiting Cheney - he brought up the fact that Dead-eye Dick has a lesbian daughter. Kerry needled him & needled him. It was pretty clear Cheney didn't know what to do. So he said "thank you for thinking of my family". That's about as close as I've ever seen him come to emotion. The guy is a dead fish.

Here's what somebody wrote about him - (and this is from somebody who has known Crash cart for a long time) "Cheney has an almost autistic indifference to the thoughts and feelings of others". That sums it up.

16. Well this time it's going to bite him in the ass.
It's too explicit, too obvious, too personal. He may be responsible for thousands of needless deaths, with no regrets, but this time it's so in your face, so unspinnable, so reprehensible and inhuman, he won't get away with this. If he had

24. I think it was Edwards, not Kerry (VP debates)
The point is a good one, though.

17. Cheney can't talk to press because he has GUILT written all over his face.
He is such an unsympathetic character anyway, our very own political Mr. Potter. He would lose his temper, you can count on it.

I guaran-damn-tee you he is royally pissed at Whittington and probably pissed at the Swiss Miss, too, which speculation has arisen was the underlying reason for this hunting weekend. In fact, I bet Cheney is angry with everyone and anyone, except the one who is really to blame. Himself.

22. I don't care what he thinks he owes us (which is, apparently, nothing).
Why does he get away with this crap? And will we ever get the satisfaction of seeing him face the music?

29. Cheney doesn't play by the rules.
He has created this unprecedented power as VP. The man (??) doesn't even try to hide his disdain for the American people, he snarls and laughs as he robs us blind and profits from the death and destruction of war and disaster.

He is the iceman.

30. Step UP, DICK. Take your medicine like a man.
What have we seen of him, other than photos of the top of his head as he slinks in through the back door of the WH? Heh, way to prove you've got nothing to hide.

What an asshole.

Yeah, I know, technically it's birdshot, but you get the idea.
