1. Cheney Owns the Government of the U.S.

He can do anything.

2. Yea, and Tweety's been rough on him all week! Still is tonight!

Although I've always heard Tweety dislikes Cheney!

Alan Simpson is coming up now. Let's see how Tweety treats him. Alan is a BIG FAN of Dickie's.

4. At least

Friday's panel will include Ron Reagan, instead of the usual weekly oddballs.

5. Personally, I'm glad this crap is almost over.

Biggest non-story in the last 6 months. Lots of other very important news that is getting the back burner.

Next week the MSM will focus on whether or not cheney actually did feel remorse. How can we really know??? Find out at 8:00 o'clock

Is dick cheney a robot??? :think:

Is dick cheney really have a heart or is it a high tech mechanical pump keeping him alive??? :think:

Is dick cheney a secret drunk??? :think:

Is dick cheney hidden bunker really true??? :think:

Does dick cheney actually wipe his own ass??? :think:


Move on already. Rome is burning :shrug:

8. LOL

My thoughts exactly. While real shit is going on, the media focuses on Elmer Fudd.:crazy:

9. It's the metaphor.

Echidne explains one reason for the press interest:

The whole episode serves as an admirable parable of this administration: Picking targets that they think are easy (tame birds in this case), then finding out that the whole thing turned into a disaster (shooting yourself or someone on your side), then exhibiting a certain callousness about the whole thing (going to have the meal as planned) and then trying to keep everything a secret.

It sounds like attacking Iraq, being over-confident about the outcome without any actual evidence, making a complete mess of it, not caring about the suffering that was caused and then trying to make sure that nobody has pictures of the coffins.

11. Yeah, banal, limited aptitudes, lost instincts, "every-man" . . .

Nietzsche's Ultimate Man, i.e. the Last before the strane becomes impotent, genetically worthless, maladaptive.

It's weird to think of Cheney that way given his real context, but there is nothing about his vitae that would necessarily insure his nobility, really, so why can't a perfect mediocrity inhabit The Machine?

[Eric J in MN]

12. Are you calling Cheney the "Ultimate Man?" nt

nt

[patrice]

13. In the Nietzschian sense of the word "Ultimate" as Last due to Lack of

Vital force, which you can see btw by the fact that men with vital force remain attractive past their prime and into old-age. Cheney is the opposite of attractive, because he lacks physical vitality.

Too bad he's so powerful politically.

That's also the Last before the New Man arrives.

Finally

6. Tweety insists it's "Chee-ney". WTH??

[bo44]

7. Tweety will issue a full feathered fluffing to Dick tonight

I am sure turdblossom has photos of Tweety with a ball gag in his mouth getting teabagged by Ann Coulter. Why else the lies and misinformation he is known to spew for greedy old pricks on demand.

[11 Bravo]

10. Thanks for that little visual!

I'll be heading off for a lobotomy now.
