From the Hill:
Congressional Republicans are telling Dick Cheney to go back to his undisclosed location and leave them alone to rebuild the Republican Party without his input.
Displeased with the former vice-president’s recent media appearances, Republican lawmakers say he’s hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings.
The veep, who showed a penchant for secrecy during eight years in the White House,has popped up in media interviews to defend the Bush-Cheney record while suggesting that the country is not as safe under President Obama.
Rep. John Duncan Jr. (R-Tenn.) said, “He became so unpopular while he was in the White House that it would probably be better for us politically if he wouldn’t be so public…But he has the right to speak out since he’s a private citizen.â€
Another House Republican lawmaker who requested anonymity said he wasn’t surprised that Cheney has strongly criticized Obama early in his term, but argued that it’s not helping the GOP cause.
The legislator said Cheney, whose approval ratings were lower than President Bush’s during the last Congress, didn’t think through the political implications of going after Obama.
Cheney did “House Republicans no favors,†the lawmaker said, adding, “I could never understand him anyway.â€
An unpopular person making a strong argument is unhelpful. Whereas a popular person making a weak argument is celebrated, as evidenced by the rapid ascent of our new President.
The question is, should it be that way — and more, how did it get to be that way?
Open discussion.
The latest rough cuts of my vid series arrived, so I have to go slather on some sesame oil and watch them along with my dogs. Whom I’ve shaved for the event.
Code words.

Shaving the dog has got to be code for something.
Hairy feet I be it isn’t;
Oh. And Patrick Frey has no honor. In my opinion.
Me, I’m no gentleman.
I still think Dick Chainey would make a great stage name for a porn star specializing in piercing fetish work.
Now were getting somewhere, SBP.
Sesame oil? Shaved dogs?
I smell STIR FRY! I got some water chestnuts you can have, IYKWIMAITYD.
House republicans are the dumbest bags of shit I’ve ever had the dishonor of smelling.
You’ve smelled them? I’m not disagreeing, just curious. BTW, I kind of agree with them, this time. Cheney was part of a not so conservative administration. However, these repub congresscritters were part of a not so conservative congress. Fuck it. {insert BJ’s nuke from orbit line here}

I smell…….troll.
Every time they vote I can smell them.
Some of these idiots voted for the retroactive taxation of executives. Now that smells. Even someone I thought was smart voted for this crap, Cantor.
Rep. John Duncan Jr. (R-Tenn.) said, “He became so unpopular while he was in the White House that it would probably be better for us politically if he wouldn’t be so public…
“Hey, Cheney, you’re not kewl enough for us Republican kewl guys, who want to grow up to be just like the kewl guy in the White House.”
“Threats, what threats? We have Blackberries!!!!”
True, but Veeps typically don’t push domestic agendas too much. Well, until Sheriff Joe came to town. Because nobody messes with Joe.
But how did Cheney become unpopular? Because of what he actually did or because of what was said and rumored about him?
Hint hint, it was the latter. And that being the case, the GOP deciding that he’s hurting them because of an undeservedly bad reputation only strengthens the case that they’re mendacious ignoramuses who are enabling the Leftist cause just as surely as the MSM is.
A pox on them and their posterity.
They keep acting like, if we’re really, really nice, the “big boys” will let us play with them. People who think that way are delusional.
Another House Republican lawmaker who requested anonymity said he wasn’t surprised that Cheney has strongly criticized Obama early in his term, but argued that it’s not helping the GOP cause.
Wait. Criticizing Obama is not helping the GOP cause. Ergo, praising him does help it.
Because that’s what worked for the Dems in 06 and 08.
Got it.

Dick Cheney is the man who won Gulf War I, not that fat fuckin’ four-star. He can say whatever the fuck he likes.
What, exactly, would help “the GOP cause,” you oozing halfwit?
Asked about Cheney’s criticisms of Obama, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs last week said, “I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.â€
I think that just about proves that the best thing would be for Cheney to keep doing what he’s doing. (And they did quote a couple of Republicans supporting Cheney’s right to speak.)
Those worried about Cheney (and about Rush) and who are *seen* to be bowing and scraping for public approval are the ones who are embarassing. Where is boldness? Where is confidence?
Hush, Dick. Shush, Rush. Be more demure, dear Sarah.
Don’t take on the world with no one at your back, it makes the rest of us seem small.
Better yet, why don’t you articulate or illuminate or limn “the GOP cause” for us, Mr. anonymous coward congress-stain?
along with my dogs. Whom I’ve shaved for the event.
Hobbit.
Wait.
I can’t think of a reason to reduce a larger quote to precisely that.
What could the whole sentence have been, to so exclude “Cheney did” that it had to be appended outside it? It can’t be for a tense match. “Cheney ‘is doing House Republicans no favors,’ the lawmaker said” is better than what’s there. So is “Cheney ‘has done…'” and “‘He’s doing…'” — and every other thing it could have been.
WTF?
And that “House Republicans” is newsy and expository, like no one but the writer actually said it.
…
Oh well.
They’re just mad because Cheney took all the balls out of D.C. and went home.
I am no Dick Cheney fan, but he was Vice President of the United States. Republicans have got to stop acting ashamed for Bush and Cheney. Did they make mistakes, sure. But the party need not act ashamed.
I’d rather listen to a person, whether I agree with them or not, who stands by their convictions rather then the blowing political winds.
I don’t always agree with Cheney, but, you know he is speaking from his convictions, and be damned with everything political.
Republicans are acting like abused wives.
And maybe it’s true enough after the last how many years, but in the end there is no avoiding the abuse because the abuse has nothing to do with reality. Dinner can be on time and not burnt and the laundry can be done and ironed and the yard tidy and the flat screen TV void of finger prints and dust and your abuser will just find something else to use as an excuse.
That’s how it works.
i really,really love you baby
but if u see me in the hall between class
pretend u don’t know me…
now/ spit or swallow, i really don’t care
just get out of my car
W took balls out too. There is a dearth of balls there now.
I am a huge Dick Cheney fan. An even bigger George W fan.
he’s hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself
Like some kind of product with shiny new packaging. They want to re-brand and tell everyone that it has new flavor crystals, makes it’s own gravy, and purple horseshoes. It is not reinventing that is necessary…. it is rebooting and setting back to default. But the entire swamp has a way with these egomaniacs’ brain as they become devoured by the beast and entrench.
Sorry…. put the slash the wrong direction I see.
I always said the Bush/Cheney ticket was upside down. Pandering does none of us any good and Cheney never pandered.
What’s the over/under on Obama’s first answer tonight? 42 minutes?
42 minutes of Jack Shit. But he’s popular.
How it got that way?
A weak Republican Party that did not understand the centrality of language.
A blundering Republican President who did not understand that to wage war, he had to moblize the entire nation to wage war behind him, as Roosevelt did. It is important to understand that Bush did not give the Democratic Party a stake in winning the war. Had he done so, things would have turned out differently. Roosevelt was never as foolish as was George Bush-he understood the stakes and mobilized both parties behind a protracted war effort. Bush had his chance in 2001, and blew it.
You can blame the Obamist Left for not understanding the Enemy, on this we agree. Obama is in for a huge, terrible shock, especially when the Iranians test their nuke. But don’t ask me to defend people like Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, who ignored Sun Tzu’s axiom: “War is the Most Serious Business of the State”.
I have a better idea: we’ll base our views of Frey, Esq., on what he does.
Which, I can see why he’d rather we base our views of him on what he says.
Cheney should start his own weekly radio address dedicated to Obama critique. Double down. Triple down. Keep it civil (which Cheney is, unfailingly) but relentless. Get Gibbs talking about you every press conference. Drive him mad. Drive Obama mad. Drive the media mad. Become the talk of the town. This is the age of mass and volume and reiteration. Subtlety died a long time ago. The Left should know — they killed it.
…as Democrat Lite — less taxing, spends great!
Some troll with a Leahy incident rejoinder in 3… 2… 1…
WTF? How could he give them something they most certainly did not want? From the moment troops hit the ground the Democratic party bet the fucking farm on
ourBush’s defeat. Fuck the troops, their families, the Iraqis. They wanted to hand Bush a humiliating defeat and did everything in their power to do so. What fucking planet have you been on?A blundering Republican President who did not understand that to wage war, he had to moblize the entire nation to wage war behind him, as Roosevelt did.
First, Roosevelt inched America in to WW2 and had to fight a holding engagement with many at home, i.e. the America First-ers such as Lindbergh. It was Pearl Harbor that gave America the shove. And arguments can be made that the Japanese were cornered into that too. (Not saying conspiracy, just damn good chess from Franklin that might have easily gone another direction… so win/win for him).
Second, like Roosevelt, but what was not done, was Bush did not cover his rear flank against the home front. The political side of the war was what was most in need of a surge, and instead was left to fester and be exploited not just by Al-Quida, but the Democrats and their (for both) willing accomplices. He had support in 2001…. even had a majority in 2003. But his opponents were the first to divide and wish for American failing in furtherance of their cause. At any cost.
re. rrpjr @38
Such would be interesting. Cheney has nothing to lose. He seeks no new office, he does not care about what the Democrats think (what would be different?)
Now the splatter might sting. The media would quickly choose to ignore his comments, and try to heh rebrand him as the Even Nuttier shotgun wingnutter. But oh how it would sting….
I was unaware that the Democrats are not actually Americans.
I recognize some of you guys love Cheney. My criticism is his and Rumsfeld’s handling of the early Iraq occupation. Sorry. They fucked up. Had it been done differently, had we gone in heavy, done the Petraeus thing from the start, I doubt it would have been as fucked up as it was. Now I recognize no war is perfect, mistakes happen all the time, big ones, ones that kill thousands, but what bothered me about this one is Bush seemed frozen in dealing with it for about three years. Finally, when he fired Rummy (over Cheney’s objections) and followed other advice things changed and changed pretty quickly for the better. I give Bush credit for doing what he thought was right.
It is objective reality, at least as far as I am concerned. If you disagree, fair enough.
Do I think Cheney is a disfigured hunchback who the GOP should be ashamed of? No. Do I think Cheney and Rumsfeld are evil war criminals who should be hounded like Pinochet until they die broken men? Fuck no.
GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings.
No reinvention is required. They just need to rebuild according to the orignial blueprints.
Or as Zo put it:
“The problem is not Republican principles; it’s unprincipled Republicans.”
I agree, Rich. Nothing to lose. Thes are extraordinary times, the meaning and future of freedom is at stake, and conforming to a standard of “helpfulness” or “unhelpfulness” just doesn’t cut it. The grass roots would competely understand. The only “helpful” battlecry against the Left is that of the outnumbered Israeli tank commanders during the six-day war: “attack, attack, attack.” That’s the only way to “rebrand” yourself in this terrible time.
Congressional Republicans are the ones who should be leaving town. They went from an ethical, principled majority in 1994 to this sorry bag of dem-lite hangers on.
It didn’t have to be this way.
Cheney is lil bHo bitch’s worst nightmare. i hope they try to prosecute W and DC for “war crimes”. They will mop the floor with Congress
and a special prosecutor. lil bHo is a chicken fried turd, which is code for “dumb ass”. Look at his appointees. They loook and sound like
Frenchmen and whoooooores. They are scared to death. The “reset button”? Good gawd.
Turn Cheney loose. Rebuild the Republican Party. My ass. Turn Dr Wheeler loose on these Pubbie traitors. And turn a rotweiler loose on the
White House lawn to dig up that dirt patch of a garden and attack lil bHo the next time he comes back from a helicopter joy ride. Moron.
He is not my president.
Bear1909out.
I do not have to pretend everything George W. Bush did was great. Was expanding Medicare great? I have said that Bush’s legacy is far more substantial than Bill Clinton’s and history will judge Bush far better than it does now. Give it time.
Republicans need to stop making policy with polls. That is something Democrats do.
In general, I like Dick Cheney, and I agree with him more often than not, which is about as good as any Politician rates with me in these days of Socialists, RINOs and Socialist RINOs.
There are a lot of things that I differ with him on, but in general, I think that the appropriate approach would be to drive all of the sniveling idiots who are whining about him out of the Party, and let them go be Democrats.
The Democrats are used to dealing with people with no principles, no backbone, and a determination to get reelected at any cost. So they should fit right in with them. Their sense of discipline and Party Unity would, however, get them tossed over the side from there fairly soon.
No loss to us, or to them.
So many bottom feeders, and so little crap floating down that far. You almost have to pity them. I think we should all eat more corn, so that they have something floating down to sustain them, ‘ya know?
Joe (#45): Your attitude only makes sense if you ignore the population of Iraq as irrelevant and consider only US actions.
The surge didn’t win the war. The awakenings and similar attitude changes won the war. If the Iraqis hadn’t changed their minds, we could have pumped troops in until they were standing elbow-to-elbow and accomplished nothing but killing people. When the Iraqis did change their minds, a modest increase in troop levels combined with a change in tactics based on keeping the raff off their backs while they sorted it out reduced the problem to a minimal level in a fairly short time.
George Bush, Rumsfeld, et. al. knew that, and knew that the only reasonable, possibly workable strategy was to wait until the Iraqis changed their minds and take advantage of it. So that’s what they did. The fact that it took longer than the Seinfedl-watching couch potatoes could stand is what created the US political problem. Dumping Rumsfeld was a purely decorative act. The New Regime didn’t change what had been planned originally in any way.

I know this is sniping, and takes things a little OT, but the early war was successful. I base this on how deftly we took down the Hussein regime and the high popular local support. Cheney and Rumsfeld had chosen (I believe correctly) to go with a Boyd style offensive. It allowed numbers to be low (opening the second front, this was necessary), fast response, a shorter build-up time, etc.
Two big issues created the problem that would appear later [the “quagmire”], and both were political. First, as I mentioned earlier, Bush did not cover his back. He allowed the media et.al., carte blanche access to areas and operations that should not have been widely known for security purposes. This created the worldwide stage that Al-Quida wanted, and the Dems lapped it up. Specifically, once the insurgents began to attack their own, we knew we had won, and yet we still gave them what they wanted. Secondly, whatever political/ State Dept. screw ups that lost us the Northern Turkish front must still be exposed (or I really need to dig it up for my own education).
We did great in winning. And I hate to use the opposition’s cliche, but we did not secure the peace. For that faux pas, I blame the media, who were more interested in personal agendas– ratings, advertising, and political bias.
How in the world am I being called a troll?
sesame oil?
Rich Cox–that is a legitimate comment. But the media is far from the only cause. Remember the surge really was less about surging numbers and more about classic counter insurgency. Holding towns, not letting the bad guys in. Gaining the respect of the locals. We repeatedly liberated towns, helped locals, only to pull out and allow al Qaeda to sweep in and punish (by punish, I mean really torture and kill) those who cooperated with us. Read Michael Yon and others who where there (and are certainly not the same as the media you are criticizing).
Cause I’d follow John Duncan Jr. anywhere.
Cause of the charisma I think mostly. Also him is so smart.
Joe, I do read Michael Yon, and I fully agree with your comment. It is the perception that the surge was just an offensive build-up more akin to the Powell Doctrin than what you described. And that should have come sooner, but, may not have been necessary if the terrorists were not given an open forum. Terrorism is theater. If al Qadea attacks had not been given so much front page coverage, they would not have continued. They were fighting the war of minds… knowing that the American public would not be able to stand such old news. Washington knew this with the British public, Giap with the American. It is all the same playbook.
Question… how many more (or fewer) would we have had to send were the other countries (yes even, no, especially because, they were token) still there? I speak of Spain especially.
Dick Cheney has more “gravitas” than The Boy President will ever hope to acquire in multiple lifetimes.
Just think: if Cheney was in the Oval Office right now, he’d be snarling, cracking heads, kicking ass, and taking names. In short, he’d be precisely the go-to guy we need right now. “Geithner, I want your f***ing recovery plan LAST MONTH. And if I don’t get it, I’m going to knock you so far down you’ll be wearing your f***ing ass for a hat…and THEN I’ll fire you. Capisce, paisan? Good. NOW MOVE.”
Well, another big OT, but…..
I was just gifted with a bottle of Bowmore Islay Single Malt.
“Cask Strength”, whatever that means.
And a Highland Quaich, a Scottish stirrup cup.
Beautiful.
If Dick Cheney stopped by, I’d open it.
Joe, true enough — but counterinsurgency tactics only work if you have a population willing to go along with you. If the population is either on the side of the insurgents, or willing to go along with whoever’s got the biggest guns at the moment, COIN is just a way to get people killed.
Where Bush, et. al., failed and failed badly was allowing his political enemies to seize the narrative. Our handling of the events at Abu Ghraib redounds strongly to our credit, but that argument was never made in public except by a few weirdos like me, and that allowed Pinch and company to make hay.
Regards,
Ric
If the population is either on the side of the insurgents, or willing to go along with whoever’s got the biggest guns at the moment, COIN is just a way to get people killed.
This is actually the other side of what Joe was pointing out. We would leave a town and al Qaeda would come in and kill. Like the Vietcong. Yet the media chose to gloss over this. And in a further Bizzaro turn, when reports were made about the insurgents tactics, it only served to strengthen the left’s resolve. I speak of downs syndrome bombers and women particularly.
What’s neat about John Duncan Jr. is that him’s daddy also was a spineless piece of shit inbred Tennessee congresswhore. He’s also a delightfully wanton pussy what voted to turn Iraq over to the trerrorists, just like our dirty socialist president wanted to do.
oh. *terrorists* I meant. I’m thinking he already didn’t like Dick Cheney already from forever ago really. He likes to hang out with his super best friend Ron Paul mostly. Hot tub parties for Jesus, that sort of thing.
Cool facts about Dick Cheney: ah, good times, good times…

This is some kind of gay Republican mafia attack on Dick I think. Troubling.

how did it get to be that way?
I think it’s cause these people watch too much tv. I really do. They live and die by what they see on cable news, and they are very very impressionable and weak-minded people. This is because they are very very shallow people with no moral character. Also Mark Kirk is just a flat out homo I think.
I personally love Dick Cheney, and he should tell these shit eaters to go eat some doo doo. Just saying.
Besides Bush the one I respect most is Mr. Rumsfeld and then Mr. Cheney. Colin Powell is a big cowardly girl though. I can see how he never felt comfortable.

If the GOP took care of the Dick Cheney wing of the party, they would not be on the outside looking in.
Any Repub who pisses off liberals as much as he does is the base that needs to be satisfied.
Anyone yet make the obivous “I like Dick” joke? If not, I call it.
Cheney should take them out hunting….idiots! and they wonder why they KEEP LOSING!
I liked Dick Cheney.
I don’t think he would like me though.
Definitely the smarter of the pair, I’ll grant you.
Happy, don’t forget John Bolton.
John Fuckin’ Bolton, that is.
So Cheney should be silenced because he’s unpopular. Tell me, GOP lawmakers, can you point out the “popular” Republicans? McCain, the loser? Specter, the textbook RINO? Popular with whom? Shall we let Larry King tell us who is popular? How about Jon Stewart? I can already hear it. “The only popular Republican is a dead Republican.”
Duncan and the other towers of GOP courage who wouldn’t go on record against Cheney are biological, medical marvels. Science has no explanation for the life-like behavior of GOP Congressmen with literal shit for brains.
It’s like dicentra said. Either you are going to criticize Obastard or you are not. If nothing about him is worthy of criticism, or if criticism itself is unproductive, as apparently this GOP would have it, why should we ever expect anyone to oppose him? Why not join his side? Why are you here, GOP?
What if Dick Cheney were to tell you that George is smarter?
I am so fucking depressed right now. So fucking depressed.
for some reason, I saw this in the paper and my brain got him confused with Spike Jones.
I likes ’em both, though maybe favoring Spike just a tad. (must be the car-horn section!?)
Kirk is a member of some moderate to liberal Republican groups such as the Republican Main Street Partnership, the Republican Majority for Choice, Republicans for Choice, the Republican Leadership Council, and Republicans for Environmental Protection.

Cask strength is (shockingly) the concentration it’s stored in the cask at.
You’ll need to dilute it 1:1 with fresh, non-fluoridise spring water to bring it down to the kind of level you’d like it to be at. Whoever donated that to you is a saint, so he is.
well, and I was just thinking about him the other day. at least I think that was it. I think he’d said something about how you can replace instruments with car horns and other noises, but their pitch still needs to be close or else it doesn’t work. kinda like Angela Lansbury’s Mrs. Lovett. Angela makes some ugly sounds (more shouty than singing), but they’re at least approximate to where they should be pitch-wise.
Okay, let’s recap: The Republicans swept into power in congress in 1994 on the strength of their ‘smaller more responsive and more responsible government’ Contract With America. Over the next 12 years they completely forgot their principles and promises, becoming the other Big Government Party. Consequently, many got tossed out on their ears and they lost their congressional majority. But somehow Dick Cheney isn’t helping their cause? That seems a bit.. convenient.
Besides, Dick Cheney shits bigger than these gelded ghits.
Swen, when I was a kid I had a hamster who shat bigger than these gelded ghits.
“Cask Strengthâ€, whatever that means.
Means it is the real deal, straight from the barrel, probably best to cut it with some good water.
Newt called for party unity today, speaking of the ’94 revolution.
I wonder what that closet Tory’s opinion of Cheney is…
Who takes this “reportage” seriously anymore? Not me:
“The veep, who showed a penchant for secrecy during eight years in the White House,has popped up in media interviews to defend the Bush-Cheney record while suggesting that the country is not as safe under President Obama.”
If Cheney showed a penchant for secrecy as VP, what the eff does that say about Biden? These assclowns in the media have no awareness of history. The vice president is supposed to be a place holder, a nobody, a man on the sidelines attending far-flung funerals of former heads-of-state. It’s hilarious to consider the notion that Cheney was some off-stage string-puller with nefarious intentions and unlimited powers (i.e., “Darth Vader”) and yet, now that he’s off the stage, he’s some sad sack has-been whose “low approval ratings” somehow discredit his opinions and are an embarrassment to the Republican Party.
When is someone going to tell the Republican Party that the news media is not their friend, is not neutral, and is not honest?
oh. Little Mark Kirk who is that swish in Illinois what thinks he’s gonna be a Senator and who also thinks Dick Cheney should just shut his stupid fat mouth, he voted to steal the money from those people who work for that insurance company. Fascist swish.
