“Cheney”
Oh yeah (*burp*)
Mmmmmm
Still don’t know what I tipped my waiter for
As my glass was always dry
A million years it seemed and
Every time I thought, ‘oh here he comes,’
He seemed the hurry past without my drink
So I turned myself to face him
But I never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the drinker
Who keeps a flask inside his vest
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Cheney
(turn and face the pain)
Ha-Ha-Harry
Can’t possibly be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Cheney
(turn and face the pain)
Ha-Ha-Harry
You’re soon to be a different man
Waiters may pass me
But I brought my own
I watch the nipples of Swiss ambassadors*
But I never leave the stream
Of warm Glennfiddich neat
So the blood floats through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that I murder
As they try to fly their kites
Are immune to our smart munitions
They’re quite aware of what we’re up to*
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Cheney
(turn and face the pain)
Ha-Ha-Harry
A hail of birdshot is your communion
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Cheney
(turn and face the pain)
Ha-Ha-Harry
Who’s your daddy now?
I’ve left my seed in your neck, old bitch.
Time won’t change me
And it’s Miller Time
Strange fascination, pieces strewn about me
The liquor is changing the pace I’m going through
Ch-ch-Cheney
(best not call the cops
just yet, Karl says)*
Oh, look out all you eyewitnesses*
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Cheney
(’cause I can bring the pain)
Ch-ch-Cheney
I’m a powerful man with powerful friends
Time can’t change me
‘Cause I control time*
I said that time can’t change me
‘Cause I control time*

Dammit, Jeff.
When you are referring to Swiss ambassadors’ nipples with a link…I expect to see some damn nipples!
WAY too much time on yer hands, dude.
Seen Thomas Sowell’s take on “Cheneygate” yet?

I tend to agree. I’d have tossed the NBC twit out on his ass, and made his bosses beg to get somebody else in. “You’re polite, or you’re gone.”
SB: learned
rolled up newspaper, that’s the ticket
Between her there, and on huffpo, and others on huffpo – it’s really like a car wreck. I feel guilty and dirty for looking at the spectacle but I can’t tear my eyes away.
I just read the Dauo link and nearly urinated in my pants laughing.
Actually come to think of it I think he’s right, the media is conservative and the proof is that they didn’t push the meme that Bush should have been ashamed to be at Correta Scott King’s funeral because of his handling of Katrina.
What a fucking toolbox.
I’m with you Steve. That’s why every night I pray so hard that Condoleeza Rice will win in ‘08. I want to see I MUST see, in my lifetimeâ€â€just how bad it can get.

Reading Hamsher, O’Donnell, Daou, et cetera, I run the gamut of emotions from “Feel better now?” to “Is that the best you’ve got?”
Maybe Jane miserad the self-help book, she’s supposed to exorcise her demons, not exercise them.
Now that the Sheriff’s Department has made their report and not immediately demanded Cheney be clamped in leg irons and frog marched to jail, watch the CoverupCriers League ratch up the claims of either incompetent bumpkin cops (the firebrand has a pic of Wiggums on her screechings, so I’m not going out on a limb here) or incompetent bumpkins corrupt cops (hey, they’re Texans! for the EastCoast/WestCoast elitist ghettos, that’s ‘nuf said) who were actually AT lunch and Cheney bought ‘em off with a case of Cuervo 1800 Anejo.
And watch ‘em now go after Harry Whittington himself for having the termerity not to go along with their fevered narrative.
BECAUSE OF THE COVER-UP!!!
And watch ‘em now go after Harry Whittington himself for having the termerity not to go along with their fevered narrative.
Exactly.
Imagine the nerve of this guy for failing to die.
not exercise them.
Geez, no doubt. Need some Valuim much?
O’Donnell proudly proclaimed on Hugh Hewitt, he’s never had a sip of alcohol in his life, and I couldn’t stop thinking that may be his problem.

From the latest firedoglady post
…the (final report) names the following as witnesses to the incident and members of the hunting party (p. 1):
Dick Cheney, Michael Andrew “Bo” Hubert, Pam Willeford, Jerry Medellin, Katherine Armstrong, Sarita Armstrong Hixon, Harry Whittington, and Oscar Medellin
I don’t recall seeing the name Bo Hubert prior to today, does anyone else?
See, there is a scandal here somewhere, there has to be.
Topsecret
I caught that about O’Donnell, too. They way he said it, the ferver in his voice, marked him not as someone who just would rather not, no thank you, but as a Carrie Nation Devil Rum fanatic who looks upon any imbibing as a Mark.Of.Debased.Character.
Bet he’s a lot of fun at Hollywood Parties.
Maybe firebitch doesn’t realize that investigators were going to interview ALL the members of the hunting party, even if they weren’t eyewitnesses (notice the word “and”).
What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?

If all his public appearances are any indication, happy drunk doesn’t come to mind.

Yeah, I think if Captain Carotid drank, Cathy Seipp would still be in a hospital.
All these dark intimations… What do they think they’re going to come up with? Was this hunting trip attended by Osama bin Laden, who had to be shuffled back to his Midlands hideout-cum-video production facility before the cops could come on-scene?
I just read the transcript of Hewitt’s interview with O’Donnell, and I have to say I think Hewitt took the wrong tack, beating on the “Which lawyers? Name one” thing rather than the “You can’t have it both ways, did you or didn’t you speculate not just in advance of the facts but in the absence of any facts that Cheney was drunk? Any chance you consulted these lawyer friends about libel? Or are you perhaps relying on the phrase-the-libel-as-a-question-and-it’s-not-actionable defense?” Because the man said he thought the Secret Service was complicit in a coverup (of what, O’Donnell?), but insisted throughout the interview that he “never said Cheney was drunk,” just “asked the question,” which caused it to be asked by Hume, such that we’d never know about the beer at lunch if he hadn’t spoken up. He also said:
…which I have difficulty reading any other way than, “I’ve already concluded that Cheney was covering up his drunkenness, and nothing is going to shake my certitude.” I think Hewitt lost an opportunity there.
I’m thinking it’s possible that Larry O’Donnell composed his little hit piece whilst drunk and engaging in extramarital relations with an animal. I have it on authority from five bloggers that that’s what they’d be doing, anyway.
Peter – they’ll just explode. Spontaneous combustion. Blue states turning red from the splatter as all those heads explode simultaneously.
I think Hewitt took the wrong tack, beating on the “Which lawyers?
I agree. I know he was attempting to show O’Donnell was just making things up out of whole cloth, knowing any attorney worth his salt wouldn’t go on record making definitive assumptions about anyone or any situation, especially the VP. Hewitt, knows if there is one common trait about lawyers…they don’t sign onto any one view and speculation is not an area they are comfortable.
But it allowed O’Donnell to slink back to his “I was just posing a question” snake pit.
Does Josh Marshall’s blog bug the crap out of anybody but me? I’m sure the answer is yes, but I think it’s a huge f’n waste. I want to see better arguments from liberal blogs, if only to keep things interesting and to force me to examine my own positions, but the left side of the blogosphere is by and large a wasteland of rage and spittle. I’m sure Marshall could post more thoughtful pieces on any number of subjects. The guy’s got a Ph.D. in history from Brown, yet he posts all this ticky-tack garbage that even Oliver Willis could handle.
By the way Jeff, my verification word to post is “white.” That’s so like you, you reTHUGlican bigot!
The guy’s got a Ph.D. in history from Brown
Explains a lot.
The Marshall thing bugs me too. I mean I know that the guy’s proved his hackery over and over again over the last couple of years. But, this whole story is such nonsense.
You’d think someone trained as an historian would be able, just for a sec, to step back and try to get some perspective. Wouldn’t you? If he ever proves capable of detaching himself from the teat of Moveon et al, he’s gonna be awfully embarassed.
Hey, Marshall’s not even in the same league as Atrios, economics Ph.D. To borrow from a commenter upthread, nothing but rage lashed together with spittle.
Does Josh Marshall’s blog bug the crap out of anybody but me?
I just can’t get over how many email generated conspiracy theories he lends credence to.
“Many emails about x,y or z…It’s definitely something to consider”???
Huh? What? No it’s not Josh, it’s not even worth keyboard usage.
I wrote Atrios off as insane long before I knew he was Duncan Black, Ph.D., so the lack of decent commentary coming from his pit doesn’t bug me.
I agree about all the email conspiracy theories Marshall pumps up. Many on the left think that the “distributed intelligence” enabled by the web equals a bunch of people getting each other riled up by seeing who can come up with the most nefarious explanation of a conservative’s thoughts or actions. In reality, the best example of distributed intelligence was what LGF, Powerline and some Freepers exposed about Rather’s fake memos–people who actually have some piece knowledge of a subject and working together to form a complete picture.
– They are working together to form a complete picture, of just how far up the wall its possible to go by dint of just the tips of your fingernails, when you’re internal vituperous, drolling angst, drives your entire “identity group” into mass hysteria. I think its the thought of 8 years of Condi that have them in the 9th stage of sheer panic. At this point anything is possible as election time approaches. Expect far worse before its over. The dismantling of a national party as a viable voting bloc, as we all watch in morbid fascination. Its almost as if they’ve found a mental way to be beheaded by al Qaeda, where the physical reality is denied them…
Yeah, right. You think it was mere coincidence that this “accident” happened in Texas? Bush and Cheney’s Halliburton oil buddies own Texas. That’d be like Bonnie prosecuting Clyde, man.
Why’s Cheney so afraid of quail hunting in a good ol’ boy-free state, such as Massachusetts?
Given Cheney’s smarts, which would lead to the obvious conclusion that immediate public announcement was called for, the only explanation for the delay is drunkenness. Well, except for the fact that the troubling delay also troublingly reinforces a troubling pattern of troubling secrecy in the Bush administration.
I guess that’s a double whammy for ol’ Cheney: too drunk to talk, as demonstrated by the delay, and troublingly secretive, as always.
HAHAHAHAHA!
You have it backward, ss.
Texas owns Halliburton (well, actually we’re partners with Oklahoma). It’s what we have instead of a Department of Offense; y’know, outsourcing, privatizing, all that.
And the real secret in all this is: they just didn’t think you were worth notifying. Useless, paranoid gits spraying bigotry aren’t high on the priority list. Go back to your mire, please.

Cleared Cheney, my ass!
When are we gonna address the MOST IMPORTANT CHARGE:
What the HELL is the Vice-President of the UNITED STATES doing wandering around the woods with an EYE-TALIAN shotgun? Wassamata, Mistuh Veep, Ruger ain’t good enough fer ya? Mossberg, Savage, Winchester? Oh, no, it’s all pizza and chianti fer yew, huh?

The shotgun is American I think, handmade and very pricey. Now back to our meatballs.
“Our” my ass.
I know I’m going to get jumped on for this, but what the hell. I have no idea whether Cheney was drunk or not, but I think his actions could be consistent with someone who was drinking, and was either drunk, or just didn’t want it to be an issue. The problem is, I’m not sure I give a damn.
The MSM has been so relentlessly opposed to US interests in this war, that I have a hard time regarding them as anything other than the enemy. The chickenshits can inflame Arab opinion against the US and our soldiers over there by printing the Abu Ghraib pictures all over the place and making false accusations about Koran-abuse at Gitmo, but when it comes to taking a stand for free speech against Islamist intimidation they’re a bunch of cowards. I would as soon pull for them to “ferret out the truth” about Cheney’s gun accident, wherever it leads, as I would… I dunno, make a speech condemning the United States on Saudi soil. It would seem like just as much of a betrayal.
So my attitude is totally “screw the whiny bastards.” I don’t give a shit if Cheney was tripping on mescaline, and thought Harry was a parade balloon of Homer Simpson in drag. That’s how jaded I am by the media and their phony commitment to truth. If they had done anything in the past five years to make me think that they appreciated the value that this country represents, they could have Cheney’s head on a platter, but to hell with them.
Jesus, Ric. C’mon, man.
I’m trying here to reveal the utter stupidity of the left’s mutually exclusive alternative theories as to how this incident proves Cheney’s evilness. (I.e., Cheney is evil either because his secrecy was suspiciously out of character, OR because his secrecy was yet another disturbing example of the secretive character of the administration.) I apologize if the exposition of this self-evident incoherence appears too much like an actual moonbat’s drivel.
Damn. All my intended withering sarcasm around here these days just gets me mildly denounced like I was a run of the mill Kerry voter. Fucking trolls are beyond parody. Stupid bastards.
I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone to argue with here. Yeah, the national press are a bunch of cowardly, narcisistic, circle-jerkers with no sense for proportion, perspective, or truth. What.
Yeah. I don’t pretend to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but parody is relatively ineffective when two minutes of Googling will turn up three or four examples of people making the exact same statements in perfect seriousness. A sane imagination simply can not come up with the notions the barking mad produce without effort.

Ric
I dunno, topsecretk9. What about actus? He’ll sign on to anything just to be contrary. Even a cheap hooker is more discerning than he.
