sff_corgi_ljSure, they're taking aim at their feet sometimes with the, erm... teabagging *cough, look at ceiling*. But you get enough of the tinfoil-hat thinkers in one spot, and some of the less extreme still get dragged along in the wake....The former vice president's voice appears to carry even more weight than it did in the waning days of the Bush administration.
Some people want him to be quiet and disappear. Others are cheering the public relations tour that Cheney began halfway through President Barack Obama's first 100 days, defending the Bush administration's harsh interrogation tactics and other anti-terrorism policies....
...In first television interview after leaving office, just 54 days after Obama was sworn in, Cheney said that it's not fair to blame the economic woes on the Bush administration. Cheney said it was a global financial problem that he feared the new administration could use to justify a massive expansion in the government and meddling in the private sector....
I'm worried about a persistent erosion effect, similar to the humiliation they exposed us to during the Clinton Presidency. Then all they'll need to to is buy a couple more Floridas and Ohios....
Why are they doing this? Why do they hate Americans so much, while protesting their (jingoistic) patriotism and protectiveness for the country as a whole?
