Cue the music.
Blasting those who have called Bush incompetent, Vice President Cheney said today, “If they are competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol.”

I want him to sing “Shock the Monkey” by Peter Gabriel.
How many Dems shot an old guy in the face?
March 24th, 2006 at 6:41 pmNo no. I want him to sing Christine Lavin’s What Was I Thinking?

March 24th, 2006 at 6:49 pmI’m going with Garth Brooks’ Friends in Low Places.
March 24th, 2006 at 6:50 pmI’d love to hear his rendition of “Masters of War”.
March 24th, 2006 at 6:59 pmWhat an ass. I get so friggin tired of these holes who never served acting tough. The modern GOP is made up of cowards and locked closet gay men.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:00 pmHow about “It’s Raining Men”? Bush and Rummy can do back up vocals!
March 24th, 2006 at 7:00 pmThe Real Dick Cheney
March 24th, 2006 at 7:01 pmThe President “incompetent”?
He’s anything but.
He got the invasion he wanted, all $226 billion dollars worth (so far), and he did it by providing the American People and their Congress falsified (or at least false) ‘pre-war intelligence’. Well, that money’s in the bank, and he hasn’t (yet) had to answer for that falsified (or at least false) ‘pre-war intelligence’.
Hardly the definition of “incompetent”; far too successful (and profitable) to be described by that word.
As for illegal wiretaps? I’d use the word “incompetent” if someone had been arrested or made to appear before a Judge in a Court of Law (like the Watergate burglars for example), but no one in this Administration has been arrested for illegal wiretapping, or made to appear in Court before a Judge (either to seek a warrant, or to explain why one hadn’t been sought).
So again, hardly “incompetent”; a better term would be “undefeated” or “untouchable”, or “IMMUNE” even.
Me, I’m not much for taking any joy in hearing the President called “incompetent”, or any other name (you know, the old ’sticks and stones’ thing), I’d rather see him confronted a little more forcefully than that.
Which brings another word to my mind to describe the President and his Administration: “unopposed”.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:04 pman oldie but a goodie:
fuck bush
March 24th, 2006 at 7:04 pmDick Bruce Cheney knows they are done for. His type of argument is the last resort before the death rattle sets in.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:08 pm#8 – If the Bush Cabal getting their way is “competence”, I want none of it. But I understand what you’re saying.
The ReichWingNuts (with Cheney leading the way with todays comment) will never believe that we as a nation were better protected from Osama and al Qaeda when we were led by Bill Clinton. Due to Democrat competetence, Project Bojinka was thwarted, nothing bad happened on New Year Eve 2000, and the Cliton Administration were actively pursuing Mr. bin Laden.
The ReichWingNuts? All I can ask is: Got Osama?
Ah. I didn’t think so.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:09 pmITMFA now!
Let the Eeeeeeeeeeeagle soar!
March 24th, 2006 at 7:10 pmLike she’s never Soooooaaaaaaared before!
FROM THE ARTICLE:
I disagree. I think Cheney was just making yet another dumb statement with no real rhyme or reason. He’s obviously just fustrated that things aren’t going well at all, so he resorts to attacks. I don’t think he is trying to divert anything.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:14 pmThe only place Cheney should be singing is on the witness stand at his trial for treason.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:19 pmDan,
It’s like how hitler blamed the jews and/or the socialists every time something sucked in Germany – it’s the same reichwing tactics. You could lift and translate the claims of Hitler and Goebbels, and they’d sound identical to the hate Mighty Moron and MizzWrong and the whole Reichwing Republican crew spews.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:21 pm#17 - You could lift and translate the claims of Hitler and Goebbels, and they’d sound identical to the hate Mighty Moron and MizzWrong and the whole Reichwing Republican crew spews.
ReichWingNut version of history forgets what happened to Hilter’s stooges after the war ended. Either that, or they don’t think it can happen to them. One thing I do know: I’m not sure they’ll want to remain ReichWingNuts after the failures of this Bush Cabal have led to judgement and then punishment.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:27 pmThat’s not a bad idea. Maybe Veep Cheney could spray some buckshot on the annoying Idol contestants.

Condi and Rummy and Colin can do back-up. Bush can be teh Falva Flav of the band.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:44 pmListening to Dick Cheney sing is a sacifice I’m willing to make if it will get him out of the government.
March 24th, 2006 at 7:57 pmI dunno. Maybe I’m just getting old. I’m feeling real nostalgic tonight, and kind of missing the good old days. Before all that bullshit talk of “freedom” and “hard work” and “competence.”
You remember. When Bush was off cutting brush on his cowless ranch and Cheney was in the back room of his office making secret deals with the energy companies?

March 24th, 2006 at 8:04 pmHe should sing “When Eagles Soar” the remix rap version with John Ashcroft singing backup.
March 24th, 2006 at 8:05 pmI notice he DID NOT say he should be on a HUNTING show……………..LOL
March 24th, 2006 at 9:02 pmHow about War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”
I’d even risk my ears and my life to hear that.
March 24th, 2006 at 9:24 pmCheney, Rummy & Bush, that brigade of chicken hawks, couldn’t find bin Laden if he were camping on the White House lawn, and they tripped over his sleelping bag.
March 24th, 2006 at 11:31 pm#10 SPude – how about Eric Blumrich’s version of War Pigs?

March 25th, 2006 at 1:19 amI would “like” to see him do a cover of Hanson’s “MMMM Bop” (Snicker). But about his making a “joke” out of almost killing someone, Yeah, YOU have the moral highground here! A sphincter says “WHAT”? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
March 25th, 2006 at 1:47 amQuick,
Someone sign him up.
March 25th, 2006 at 2:46 amFitz, where are you?
March 25th, 2006 at 6:10 amCheney on American Idol:
March 25th, 2006 at 9:06 am“I don’t remember,
I don’t recall,
I’ve got no memory
of anything at all…”
Incompetent? The Bush cabal? All you have to do is “Connect the Dolts.”
BTW, Dick, you won’t be permitted to bring your shotgun when Simon rips your rendition of “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
March 25th, 2006 at 9:44 amIf Dick Cheney sang on AMERICAN IDOL (which is, after all, a FOX show), what would pick for him to sing? How about “Shotgun”?
MoDo has some choice things to say about him in her new article (on my site)
March 25th, 2006 at 10:38 amIf singing Dick on American Idol is equivalent to the Fat Lady sings, I’d say go for it.
March 25th, 2006 at 10:49 amNICE OF HIM TO GET A PLUG IN FOR RUPERT MURDOCH AND HIS BUDDIES AT FOX.
March 25th, 2006 at 12:34 pmYeah, Dick, let’s sing of competence.
March 25th, 2006 at 12:56 pm“If they are competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol.”
~Dead Eye Dick
Well, they certainly couldn’t do any worst.
March 25th, 2006 at 1:28 pmshow me a legitimate war and i’ll show you how much ass i can kick
March 25th, 2006 at 2:07 pmHere it is nearly 24 hrs. later and there hasn’t been a single Democratic leader to respond in kind. Is this the beginning of a duck and cover campaign? Its blatently obvious to Democratic activists that Cheney has lost his mind, but where the hell is our response in the media?
March 25th, 2006 at 2:52 pmSo how Exactly does an MBA and a Halliburton CEO know how to fight a War?
They Know how to sell it thru ‘Media Advertising’
Rove knows Campaign Style Tricks SO I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know how to fight a WAR given his first Battle was with a Democrat Girl who beat him senseless as a Kid. Tuff Talker that Rove. Kinda Like Bush and Bring it on.
Hey Mr. Cheney Tell the people about your little “meeting” with the Soldiers in Iraq that didn’t go so well..
IRI BLackwater USA I Hear is Hiring Mercs for up t0 350,000 a year. Take your BB gun, and your Capitalist Blood cult Ass And show us your “Paintball Skills”
March 25th, 2006 at 2:53 pm#45 blindprogressive
March 25th, 2006 at 2:57 pmThis is just an example of Cheney talkin’ tough with his good ol’ boys at the club. The Dems can fire back and keep it in the news, or they can rise above it, because with his 19% popularity, most people probably know what he is.
What a sorry morsel of mortality he is!
A cursory glance at any dictionary would reveal that “snarling” and “strong” are not, in fact, synonyms.
He and Mr. Bush and Mr. Rumsfeld are spending the lives of “other people’s children” as though they were unneeded coins discovered in the bottom of the linty pocket of an unused jacket.
Leprous souls, diseased minds!
March 25th, 2006 at 3:13 pmCheney, perhaps it’s that the bad guys really do always lose.
Korea, Vietnam, Iraq.
WE were the good guys in WWII and we won because we wee the good guys.
perhaps all those fairy tale stories that were read to me as a child really are true.
the mean, crooked-mouthed ugly ogre always does fall on his face
