Spit-shining Cheney's dementia

sign on hand dryer: "push this button for a few comments from vice president cheney..."



you can comfortably rely on cheney to say the same predictable nonsense, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and...

At a Republican fundraiser held in Rochester, New York on Friday afternoon, Vice President Dick Cheney said that his "old friend," Democratic Congressman Jack Murtha was "wrong" on Iraq, and that following his advice to withdraw our troops would "simply validate the al Qaeda strategy and invite more terrorist attacks in the future."

The vice president also condemned the "Dean Democrats" who "have purged Joe Lieberman from the ranks of the Democratic Party in Connecticut," in favor of primary winner Ned Lamont, "a candidate whose explicit goal is to give up the fight against the terrorists in Iraq."

The Vice President maintained that "[i]f we follow Congressman Murtha's advice and we withdraw from Iraq the same way we withdrew from Beirut and from Somalia, we will simply validate the al Qaeda strategy and invite more terrorist attacks in the future."

Cheney then praised Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, and slammed the Democratic party for "turning its back" on him.

"Senator Lieberman was my opponent in 2000 -- Al Gore's running mate, a longtime senator, and one of the most loyal and distinguished Democrats of the generation," said Cheney. "Joe is also an unapologetic supporter of the global war on terror."

"He voted to support military action in Iraq when most other senators in both parties did the same -- and he's had the courage to stick by that vote even when the going gets tough," Cheney added. "And now, for that reason alone, because he supported the President in the global war on terror, the Dean Democrats have purged Joe Lieberman from the ranks of the Democratic Party in Connecticut."

you can also comfortably rely on the fact that uncle dick's speeches, if not word-for-word, are heavily edited by the pen of karl rove... uncle dick's been living in his severely dissociative state for a long time, so he knows his own mind, but karl's gift is putting a real shine on dementia...
