Noted former Vice President, friend-shooter, and defender of the United States of America Dick Cheney has of course been making the rounds in the press lately as the sole political figure standing up for what a good number of Americans believe was a good time for the US of A... the Bush Administration.
Here's an interesting article.
While George Bush lacked pizazz and hollywood glitz, he more than made up for it in good old-fashioned love of his Country. He behaved while in office as a man convinced that the office itself was the important part of the job, not his own petty desires. He kept his pants on, his mouth shut when it pertained to things that might lower the dignity of the office (bi-partisan spats, for instance... ) and he largely followed party lines, although not always as conservatively as some would have liked.
His successor however is all pizazz and gaffes and charm and teleprompters and violations of constitutional laws and offending of millions of Americans and American Allies. president hussein is a dazzling mulatto of exceptional partisanship, and short of the idea that there is no reason to believe he has even considered cheating on his satanic alter-ego imp from hell wife, in all other respects he has been a thoroughly contemptible man who favors the honoring of his own reign over the majesty and importance of the office.
So now the only person standing up from that administration to defend it is Cheney. He has only two reasons to be defiant. Even though Rush says he has no reason to do this other than love of country, the man IS penning an autobiography and it WOULD be helpful to have some advance publicity. One thing hussein is good for, it's generating loads of press. It's easy when he owns the media outright.
But still, Cheney has the marks of a man who does not care if you like him, he's gonna do what is right anyhow. He has worked tirelessly for both the Bush administrations to protect America. So I believe he has legitimate reasons for wanting to prove that the interrogation techniques are not only legal, but absolutely vital to protect Americans from further harm.
And the kicker is, in their defense as to why they would not release the two memos he wants, is that they are pertinent to two pending lawsuits and therefore cannot be released.
You can suggest that this is some under-the-radar lawsuit from the hussein camp that is prosecuting criminal Republicans and their attorneys for their horrible gall to heinously place non-bitey bugs into cells with killers and thugs. But you'd be wrong.
As I said, the one thing the hussein camp has going for it is their absolute and totally abusines control over the media, which means if he were the one pressing charges the case would be so high-profile he'd have to make yet another special TV appearance to bore us with his preening over it.
So no, this is in reality a matter of a case where the memos did what they were SUPPOSED to do, and in fact the case is being prosecuted properly and now fewer Americans have died at the hands of the enemy.
Go ahead... give me another scenario.
So thanks to USAToday.com, we now know that the memos Cheney wants A)are legitimate and B) demonstrate the effectiveness of the Bush/Cheney approach.
I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
