    It takes real talent to read with your eyes closed.

    No one checked to make sure he hadn’t died of another heart attack?


  2. Glenn Becker says:

    Cheney can read?


  3. kindness says:

    I thought Darth had to sit in that pod thingy to regenerate….


  4. ohdave says:

    My students used to read thusly.


  5. one eye buck tooth [X^B says:

    Hah, thats a photocopy of my Pet Goat in his Lap!


  6. Punchy says:

    Since he’s reading THRU his eyelids, perhaps he really is a robot


  7. unbelievable says:

    “The veep’s people later insisted he was reading his notes.”

    Yes, I read much better with my eyes closed as well… He really does think we are all utter morons.


  8. one eye buck tooth [X^B says:

    This reminds me of a couple of people I used to work with, one guy would bend over and tye his shoelaces [Not really] then promptly fall asleep. If you woke him up he would ‘Tye’ his shoe .The other IBT Employee [Thats International Brotherhood of Thugs and Thieves Union] The other would promptly fall asleep as Cheney here, and if you woke him up he would say “Amen”

    Now Mr Cheney,get with the program, if your gonna Lie, you have to at least act like you believe that Lie.
    See your staffers should have said you were ‘Praying’ that would have been at least somewhat believable


  9. Heynow says:

    America is safe when Cheney is sleeping.


  10. unbelievable says:

    I suppose the fat neck helps as a pillow for such quick naps in these upright occasions…


  11. burro says:

    Poor Shooter was up late reclassifying previously declassified papers. It was hard work. Let lying dogs sleep I say. We’ll all be much safer so long as he’s in dreamland.


  12. dlet says:

    He was just feeling a little lethargic. He didn’t have his glass of puppy blood in the morning to get him through the day.


  13. Jeffrey Stewart says:

    I think it’s pretty well established that he is reconstituting his vitality.


  14. Alexandra says:

    I guess that all that “hard work” that Bush is always talking about is finally getting to Cheney. He is after all the one who’s actually doing the work.

  16. booker says:

    Keep sleeping Dickie and the world will be a more peaceful place. On second thought , does he really have to wake up?


  17. Shooter McCheney says:

    Time to put Shooter MCCheney out to pasture.

    I guess that’s what he was during when Richard Clarke was briefing him.


  18. Zappatero says:

    For the good of the country, Dick………….


  19. rail says:

    Wasn’t he also wearing shades during a meeting (lunch?) with Chinese President Hu?
    I’m thinking it’s a case of glug-glug-glug the night before.

    i could be worse, he could break out his giant green parka/tent.


  20. Bush Bites says:

    He always gets groggy when his colostomy bag fills up.


  21. Hardy Haberman says:

    Just another example of how this administration is asleep at the wheel!


  22. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    So, I guess he can “read his notes” without his glasses. That’s good to know.


  23. Jane E. Schneider says:

    #11, Burro, thanks, I’m trying not to LOL at work! Good one!


  24. blogenfreude says:

    Shit! You mean Bush was running the country for a few minutes?


  25. snookered says:

    Whoever took that photo is in for a rough ride. These cowboys play hardball……..


  26. roundup says:

    Reading his notes-s-s-s-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z


  27. fastiller says:

    A conspiracy theorist might say that they’re laying the groundwork for Cheney to leave office “for health reasons”. Have him “get caught’ sleeping a couple of times and he can bow out saying that the “rigors of the job have fatigued him”. But I’m not a conspiracy theorist.



  28. TM says:

    1 Quail, 2 Quails, 3 Quails, FIRE!!!


  29. Quadrajet says:

    And yet no one ran over with a set of paddles and yelled ‘clear’? I mean, just to be on the safe side? Heads should be rolling in Cheney’s medical detail.


  30. Grace says:

    I’ll bet he doesn’t nap during those Halliburton meetings. That money making machine keeps him awake!!


  31. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    #31 Maybe it was more like Quail, Quail, Harry -FIRE!

    Wouldn’t it be funny if while he was “reading his notes” he had a dream about that day and woke up yelling, “Look out, Harry!” to a room full of stunned people, none of whom was named Harry? Now that I would pay to see.


  32. 187Corporate says:

    Think he was sitting on the “switch” so GDub didn’t actually touch it?

  34. JP says:

    Can they not tell the truth about ANYTHING?


  35. Ran says:

    I am just going by the picture. It looks like Rummy is praying and Cheney is dead! Heaven be praised!


  36. Jay Randal says:

    Whenever Bushy Boy gives a speech Dirty Dicky falls asleep >lol. Even Cheney gets bored to slumber by the stupid rantings and facial expressions of Bush! Wake me up when Dubya is no longer president!


  37. dumbstruck says:

    Why stay awake?

    He already knows what’s going to happen.


  38. mogh says:

    It’s true it’s true.You people don’t understand He and Fritszy are the product of intellignet design. One can diagnose by looking at a videotape and the other can read with is eyes closed!


  39. Jay Randal says:

    Rummy is Dicky’s Brokeback Mountain lover but the flame has gone out of the relationship now and catnapping the main occupation for them >lol.


  40. mogh says:

    Sorry, intellignet shoud read intelligent

  47. Jason says:

    I wish he would have fallen out of the chair.


  48. Kriss says:

    Not much longer before some poor soul has to wake him up to change him, yechh!


  49. rich says:

    Let sleeping dogs lie – it’s better than conscious lying.


  50. Glenn Becker says:

    #7, “He really does think we are all utter morons.”

    I hate to say it but a whole bunch of people, somewhere, WERE utter morons for ever giving this hateful, growling sack of guts a job higher than grade school janitor.

    NO PLANETFUCKER LEFT BEHIND.


  51. Demokracy says:

    Rummy and friends are casting lots in the corner to find out which unlucky SOB gets to change Dickie’s diaper when nap time is over.


  52. Demokracy says:

    Rummy: “See Hu? Roofies are effective in combatting terrorism.”


  53. Demokracy says:

    Dickie’s finally asleep. The terror alert level will be going down to green any day now.


  54. TM says:

    I think he might have broke wind look how far away everyone else is.

  60. Zookeeper says:

    It’s hard out here for a “Dick.”

    Give him a break people! It’s exhausting running down fat little puppies in order to chomp off their heads.


  61. the hired help says:

    I’d think about checking that chair cushion for a little puddle of Blackwater when he gets up.

  63. Dick Cheney says:

    I just made $6,000 while I nodded off for 15 min. See young Repugs, hard work pays off in Amerika. To the rest of you, …..quit whining and get 2 minimum wage jobs for christs sake.


  64. JustJohn says:

    It isn’t easy being a Dick…

    I have a head I can’t think with.
    I have an eye I can’t see with.
    I have to hang around with two nuts all the time.
    My closest neighbor is an asshole.
    My best friend is a pussy.
    My owner beats me.
    And now because of AIDS I have to wear a rubber suit and puke
    all over myself.

    OK, that was bad….I am soooooo sorry!!!

    Shot (ooops I did it again) a good friend of mine while tossing a few back and then hiding from the law while the alcohol got ouf ot my system $65 (for beer – imported at that)

    Getting to sleep through critical meetings with a country that has the ability to kick our asses (trade and military wise) …. PRICELESS!

    Don’t wake him– he’s dreaming about watching the bubbles surface from a bag of kittens.


  88. Daniel Pilich says:

    No wonder we attack the wrong countries. Our President drinks himself to sleep during important meetings. Hey, at least he didnt shoot the President of China.


  89. Chase says:

    at least now we not not only super-libs (a la justice ginsburg) take cat naps at work.


  90. W Young says:

    Here is an example that these guys in the Bush administration are pathological liars, when they have to lie about something as inane as this. Cheney should just say he didn’t sleep well the night before and move on. My question is, have they told the truth about anything while they have been in office?


  91. Calm Dog says:

    He’s not sleeping. He’s just left that host body temporarily to commit some evil deed. He’s be back to re-animate it soon enough.


  92. Tanilan says:

    How do you fall asleep in the middle of a meeting? HOW? That is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen all week.


  93. denj says:

    he is thinking of another terrorist attack to plan on the AMerican people, one far worse then 9/11.


  94. Zookeeper says:

    #99 – Ever been in a meeting with lawyers? *yawn*


  95. Josh Buggs says:

    To bad he’s not dead, I really want to heckle at his funeral.

    This is why our country is in the mess it’s in. And while this jackass sleeps, he lets the “Wild Cowboy” do his thing. Yep, folks, this is all we’re gonna get.


  99. progressive and proud says:

    I personally think they just unplugged him for a while.


  100. Joseph A. Mungai says:

    Dreaming of war puts him at peace.


  101. somebuddy important says:

    Hey all you people out there, gotta cut Chenney some slack. it aint easy being the worst V. P. ever. it takes alot outa em. Ok? He’s gotta get up early & work hard to suck less. See? the least you could do is try & support em once & a while. just put your arm around him so he does’nt you know, go over, slip out of the chair & hit his head on the floor. is that askin too much? Huh? Jeeeez!


  102. Paul R. Stringer says:

    Ahh…, Death Takes a Holiday!


  103. Daniel Pilich says:

    Thank God it wasn’t a meeting about oil or we all have the indignity of having to watch Ol’ Dick humping that poor chair.


  104. MassRefuge says:

    He Looks like a overweight baby taking a nap, only difference is that a normal baby doesnt get his diapers changed by rumsfeld.


  105. Marley Brooklyn says:

    “But of course he is reading… a copy of the Constitution!! Hm. Hm…”
    Our intelligence must not be insulted any longer Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Co…


  106. Marley Brooklyn says:

    The language if this particular slump speaks of a comatose kind of sleep, between the 3rd and the 4th stage sleep. These are deep sleep stages, with Stage 4 being more intense than Stage 3. These stages are known as slow-wave, or delta, sleep. During slow-wave sleep, especially during Stage 4, the electromyogram records slow waves of high amplitude, indicating a pattern of deep sleep and rhythmic continuity.

    Maybe we can better illustrate it to the defending “White House Staff” in a “Color Alert” form, with Green for “Cat Nap”, Purple for “Disco Nap”, Yellow for “Hung Over” and Red for “Dead Asleep”…. That would serve them… like the terrorizing “High Orange Alerts” we had to suffer through months after 9/11 in NYC.


  107. Diane E says:

    Man, I needed these laughs! LOL! on him passing wind and that’s why everyone is so far away! I can see that. My dog farts in his sleep. Cheney must fart in his sleep, too, especially since he’s so rotten inside.


  108. heather says:

    Hey dipshits his eyes are open, You guys are so freaking angry how do you even get out of bed in the morning


  109. Toni says:

    He could always use the excuse that “He was just hangin out”


  110. heather says:

    It must suck ass to be such angry people. Studies have shown that constantly hating can be unhealthy. Why don’t you folks take just one week leave the bong alone and come up with some of your own ideas and come back then. We can just read Moores website if we want you lemmings just repeat everything he says. I’m sorry you have lost the last three elections in a row but get over it.

  114. JLA says:

    Heather, waddle back over to the Red sites please and allow us our fodder. Besides, shouldn’t you be out supporting the troops somewhere?


  115. Bryan says:

    I have read some of your comments on this site. Some brief advice. I think that because you have your lovers schlong in your anus and a bong in your mouth it’s difficult for you folks to develop coherent thoughts. I would recommend removing both and trying again. Besides Michael Moore is married and you really shouldn’t be playing catcher for him.


  116. JLA says:

    JLA I suppose somebody has to since I have personally read your comments in the past praising the slaughter of the American Soldier


  117. JLA says:

    Finally a true conservative. Thats good, Bryan. Just don’t let Falwell find out you know how gay sex works.


  118. Robert says:

    I have a riddle for you folks, what does 2000′ 2002′ 2004 and 2006′ all have in common. Oh that’s right YOU LOST. Nobody is buying your bullshit unless they are deceived blacks, stoned, or just plain ignit as you would say.


  119. RealityBites says:

    #117 … so chirps Heather as she relaxes in her Fecal Hot Tub, dreaming Mafia dreams…

  121. Steven says:

    We are all here now and were taking over this forum in a pre-emptive strike. You all have until Sunday afternoon to surrender the site or we will strike. I’m not kidding we are going to flood this site in order to make it unusable. You folks are dangerous and actually calling for out troops to be killed is not going to be acceptable.


  122. Dave says:

    He spent a long night with Laura and the chief IDIOT watching torture photos and videos. Don’t you think their collection is large enough to finally close the place down?

    That photo in his lap is one of those and he is dreaming about them. He knows his urge to see them at the end of his shotgun must be squelched or at least held off until he gets drunk again.

    Before we condemn him, remember that the nights spent viewing videos are terribly strenuous, as he occasionally has to sock it to the chief IDIOT and blame it on pretzels. Laura has no involvement as she is just a lump, anyway.


  123. Heather says:

    See JLA #127 is what I’m talking about. Just think and re-read your messages before you send them because you obviously incapable of constructing coherent grammatically correct sentences.


  124. Crazy Lombardo says:

    It’s rather similar to some scene from Weekend At Bernie’s. What was it that Nader said about apathy?


  125. JLA says:

    Heather Id bet you are fat.


  126. Steve says:

    Put a robe and funky had on the bastard and you have the Pope!!!!! (Not the current Pope, but the dead one!) Maybe he is just drunk ass tired from another day of hunting.


  127. Crazy Lombardo says:

    You crazy liberals. What’s wrong with getting drunk and shooting a person in the face? We have to respect our elders. Especially the ones who fall asleep at important meetings.


  128. kitten says:

    Dr. Evil takes a much needed break from his evil doings.


  129. Crazy Lombardo says:

    Yes. But was it an evil nap?


  130. Queerplanet says:

    This is just spin. They are going to “retire” him before he gets indicted on federal charges.


  131. MakeSenseOfIt says:

    Big DICK has alot on his plate … he needs a power nap to aid in his daily routine to run the country. Since G W is the front man, Big Dick is the one who has all the creative energy to be the leader of the free world.. He is the MAN with all the power..
    Thank GOd for BIG DICK .. and his ability to dodge his own bullets///


  132. Crazy Lombardo says:

    He didn’t dodge bullets. He was holding the gun and he shot friend in the face. Granted, that is creative and all but the free world is 4 light years away.


  133. Innocent Bystander says:

    War mongering for war profits is hard work.


  134. Crazy Lombardo says:

    Oh, you said “his own bullets.” I’m sorry for busting out on you Mr.Senseofit


  135. Crazy Lombardo says:

    Apathy is a weapon of mass destruction.


  136. Daniel says:

    I despise Dick Cheney, but I don’t need to be fuming angry about this administration. The rightwingers on this blog are the angry ones. They know their beloved leaders are crooks,and America is no longer putting up their curroption and poor leadership. The funny thing is, I don’t need to specify, this administration has failed to deliver on any of their own promises!

    Fellow Democrats.. Say hello to the “Angry Right.”


  137. mj says:

    when you want to know the truth about almost anything, just listen to their explanations… what probably happened is exacly the opposite.


  138. Jeanne says:

    cheney reads with his eyes closed? Maybe he shoots with his eyes closed too.


  139. MakeSenseOfIt says:

    Reading notes in Braille .. that is his qualifier to be the next president by proxy…


  140. Crazy Lombardo says:

    Maybe he does lots of things in his sleep. Maybe Neocon is the Matrix.


  141. PO'd Vet says:

    Aw we really should give him a break guys. It’s not an easy job and must take a hell of a lot out of him. I mean hell how many crimes could YOU commit against the American people…how many people could you murder, how many could you torture….all while convincing the “Godly” that peace justice and freedon are tools of the devil. Truly, he and Gdub have done things no other partnership could dream of doing! Just think of the accomplishments of this administration. Just a handful of individuals have managed to bribe fool and corrupt more people, and commit more crimes than all of the residents in our countries prison system combined! Thats putting in the overtime screwing the country for these traitors!


  142. MakeSenseOfIt says:

    Allow him to take his nap … my brothers and sisters because he needs all the rest he can get since he is the one to determine whether WWIII will be the next war …


  143. W Young says:

    Picking on the Bush administration is like shooting fish in a barrel. I almost feel sorry for them at times. However, they are so corrupt and cruel, they deserve every bit of the harassment.


  144. Jeanne says:

    W Young,
    It is the president’s and vp’s job to get gray hair not to cause it. I stopped being nice to this administration the day they stole the first election. It’s been downhill from there.


  145. barfly says:

    I’m sorry you have lost the last three elections in a row but get over it.

    Comment by heather — April 21, 2006 @ 4:21

    We have. But how will a spoiled little republican, who’s only known a cheap sort of debateable success, handle the impeachment of her favorite icon? How will you deal with the anger of impotence when the House and Senate changes hands in November? How hard will you hold to the illusion of Bush greatness as Rove begins squealing to save his own skin, and Americans hear from “Bush’s Brain” of the true extent of Bush’s incompetence? Your petard is waiting.

    How about we smack him upside the head Three Stooges style to wake him out of his glorious wet dream of world domination, secret tribunals, cancelling the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, and more no-bid contracts for Haliburton.


  150. SpaceDemon says:

    Yeah! Why should he be allowed to sleep at all?


  151. Gel says:

    See how far Rumbo is standing from him? He does fart while he’s sleeping.

    Looks like a limp Dick to me….

    Quick Mr. Whittington, now’s your chance to get even.


  155. a teacher says:

    #53 – How dare you insult a grade school janitor! A more descriptive term is “custodian!” That job is MUCH too important for Cheney. He has not shown the honesty, the patience, the caring, the persistence, the pride or the character to be someone who is the custodian of such an important institution as a grade school…


  156. Big guy says:

    I did’nt lose the last election, we all did.


  157. highschoolcivicsteacher says:

    All of you need to calm down! At least the old fucker can’t steal anything or instigate more murder for profit while he’s asleep.


  158. Nick Caine says:

    Come on you lot, isn’t everyone being a bit unfair to poor Tricky Dickie? Narcolepsy is a very serious disability to suffer from. Just imagine falling asleep for no apparent reason, especially if you’re out hunting at the time. Can you imagine the damage one could cause, if you just fell asleep at inopportune moments?

    Symptoms of narcolepsy:

    A person with narcolepsy is likely to become drowsy or to fall asleep, often at inappropriate times and places. Daytime naps may occur with or without warning and may be irresistible. These naps can occur several times a day. Drowsiness may persist for prolonged periods of time. In addition, night-time sleep may be fragmented with frequent wakenings.

    While most of you young peoples comments are an interesting observation most of you miss this point. He, Mr Chaney is the Vice President of OUR United States with absolutely NO CARE of what becomes of its citizens, just as he and the President don’t give a damn about OUR United States Military young men and women, who are dying in a god forsaken country for no other reason then Mr Bush and Mr Chaney and Mr Rumsfeld want them to die there!! AND Iran will be the next place they want them to die unless WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE stand up enmass and demand this government begin withdrawing troops from Iraq NOW. We should also use the words IMPEACHMENT AND WAR CRIMES.. IF WE DON’T TAKE BACK OUR UNITED STATES FROM THIS GROUP OF MAD MEN SOON, WE MAY NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO TAKE IT BACK. If you think the gas prices are just “the oil companys making lots of money” think about what you will do to get gas to go vote!!! THINK ABOUT IT…..

    haha, thats funny !! he is soooo sleeping duh.. lol what a dumb fucker.. but not as dumb as bush. Only 2 more years… ugh


  161. mockingbird says:

    Instead of sitting around making silly comments about sleepy, we should be plotting a plan to help get rid of him and dopie. Like demonstrating everywhere they go.. Like those folks in katmandu.. They demonstrated until the king came around. Our Emperor Dopie could use a few more folks standing up to him and telling him what an ass he is instead of just gripping about it on your puter. Lets start now and make very sure this bunch of murdering thieves don’t steal our government again come next election. Lets make sure they know we are on to their deceptions and lies and we don’t want them back.


  162. Niimki says:

    Well….you know how heavy stress can make you feel tired and sleepy. I am surprised he can get out of the damn chair.


  163. Gerry. says:

    My comment goes to Heather, Steven, Robert and Bryan. You sound like young people in your defense of your political party. I would suggest that you put your money where your mouth is and join the U.S. Army or Marines and ask to go to Iraq to join in the murdering of defensless people in the streets and homes of their country. Since you think your political party has persued such a noble war against a country that did the United States no harm, surely you would be willing to go there to stand up for your partys principles. But like most of your type, you would rather sit here, safe in the U.S.A. and drink beer and try to beat down the people who would try to make our country whole again. Heather, have you traveled outside this country since we invaded Iraq? Did you know the rest of the world hates us? I would bet you are saying “well who the hell cares what the rest of the world thinks of us”. Am I right? I use to travel throughout the world and, was proud to be known as an American. Now I am fearful of leaving my homeland because I am an American. Steven, Robert and Bryan, you are hopefully brave young men. Go join one of the special forces military teams and find out what its like to live with the heat and sand and blood and fear that our “for real” brave young men live through every second they are in Iraq or Afgannyland. If you think you are a real man, just give it a try. Maybe when you have been through what our troops have been through you will come home with a different outlook on the political leaders of this war mongering adminstration and have a change of heart about who you vote for in the next election. BUT don’t sit here safe at home and think you know it all because kids…. You don’t know till you been there……..


  164. Cyra Brown says:

    Perhaps he was taking a moment to ‘reflect’? In the backround, Rummy appears to be ‘reflecting’ as well. The “reading his notes” excuse is so obviously BS. The fact that Dick wears vision enhancers would appear to indicate that he has an ‘optical disability’,making it highly doubtful that he would be able to “read his notes”, without his vision enhancers. Perhaps his flunkies would like to explain that? Not counting on it though. Poor Dick, plotting world dominion is exhausting!

  167. urbanknight says:

    i notice a similarity between all bush supporters: they are all either narrow-minded christians or christians that are narrow-minded. you guys have been brain washed to believe everything that comes out of bush’s mouth. but i guess if you are religious to begin with, you are already prone to brain washing. now politics aside, can’t we just have some fun poking at dick?


  168. Booth McKeown says:

    sleeping on the job never hurt Reagan. If I remember correctly he even napped during an audience with John Paul II. So what’s the big deal? Cheney is much less harmful when he’s snoozing.


  169. mockingbird says:

    Thats the problem Urbanknight, We democrats have been sitting around making fun of the bastards while they are dead serious about taking away every thing good about the U.S.A.. Our freedoms, quality of life, familys, homes, money and on and on. It’s time we got down to serious business too. We need to quit joking around and start fighting back, sticking togeather and taking back our country. Or do you just want to joke around about that too….

  173. Black Cat says:

    Yes, the Dick(head of the USA) deserves his nap, after all, since he is doing all the work of the President… must be tough pulling George W’s Strings all day! and inventing lies to refute and discredit the 9/11 evidence at http://www.prisonplanet.com and http://www.911research.com must be so exhausting Dick!


  174. Black Cat says:

    http://www.prisonplanet.com/911.html

    Could Dick be feeling some regret over all the people he had killed?

    2300+ US Soldiers in Iraq, 32000+ Iraqi civilians, about 3000 September 11, 2001, fake terrorism victims! Could he be praying to God for forgiveness of his evil deeds?


  175. Black Cat says:

    Watch the video Dick… keep praying for God’s mercy you evil SOAB!

    http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/060705controlleddemolition.htm

    IMPEACH DICK FIRST, followed by his dummy sidekick George W, and the rest of his lying, war profiteering cabal of neo-Nazis in disguise. They only care about themselves… not the people…

    hahahahahahahahaha!!!!


  178. Marley Brooklyn says:

    HEATHER! We did not lose 3 elections: The Bush family cheated their way into winning the elections. Don’t you read anything else than the back of your cereal box? Stay away from the fatty foods, turn Fox 5 off and throw your Republican goggles away. They cause blindness. EDUCATE yourself! You seem so adventurous… after all, you did visit a “Liberal” site and spew narrow minded right wing fascist and biggot comments for ALL to see… Careful… BIG napping BROTHER is watching… Steve, Robert and Bryan can take turns with you since anal sex is only Okay between a few men and a woman. Enjoy!


  179. MakeSenseOfIt says:

    BIG DICK has better things to do than listen to George … Don’t forget he runs the country not George… G W is only the front man in this military heiarchy..
    He need not run for president because he can do more damage as veepee..
    He almost go away with murder..


  180. Don Thieme says:

    When people gets older they need to sleep much more than before. Soo.. Do we really need old men to decide our countries future? Get a limit for how old a person in government should be.


  185. Tampa Man says:

    G W’s documented IQ is 91. 2 points above stupid on a good day. which he has’nt seen in awhile. That puts Chenney as the puppet master. Rove as the the archetechural playwrite & the proffiteering corporations as the bank rolling producers. of these well staged crimes being committed in the world theatre. & it’s all the average Americans fault. For allowing this war on fear to go on. for not standing up, going out & facing these fiends as the French, the British & even the illegal aliens have done here.in recent weeks. so until we unite & scream for our rights in the streets.& scare these criminal facsists with overwelming #s.Our civil liberties will continue to be taken away from us until we get to a point where it’s too late & there just gone.& i’m afraid if we don’t do something soon we’ll just miss it. & loose not only our rights & liberties but those of our childrens, childrens as well.

  190. Marley, Brooklyn NY says:

    Heather?….. Steven?…. Bryan? Woo-Hoo? Oh well… Good riddance! They’re off of the “Internets”
    Speaking of developing coherent thoughts and sentences.

    Why do all Bush lovers are so oblivious to the awful fact that George W can’t even form any sentences of his own without making extremely embarassing grammatical errors? On the morning of 9/11 they strategically placed him in a 2nd grade class reading My Pet Goat. The irony…
    Where’s my bong?

    “Rumsfeld’s fate may be as much in the hands of the Vice President as in the President’s.

    Does this not finally show that these two guys actually run the White House and Bush is just a figure head?

    http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2005/060705controlleddemolition.htm

    Dick(head of the USA) must be feeling sorry after seeing this video … or he must be totally exhausted from covering up all his lies and planning more unnecessary wars to make Halliburton and Bechtel even richer and all his oil tycoon friends much wealthier from stealing middle-eastern oil and murdering innocent civilians who just want to be left alone and live in peace. It’s HARD WORK being an evil bastard!

  204. Non-Americans says:

    Amazing the little dick-wad has xray vision. Have been reading throught the comments and glad to see the people of America are awake, well at least a good proportion of you are. Remember we are all in this together. You have to protest, never give up. So much is at stake. We keep watching MM website because there is so much we just dont get in the news media, even in a small country like NZ, news is filtered. Make a statement, make it loud so the whole world can hear. It will have to be more than you are doing at the moment. And, yes Americans are viewed very negatively from the outside, though this website has give me hope and changed my view of you all somewhat. Is it true that you now get issued with a flyer on how to behave when you get your passports. This is one news item we have heard, it contatins advice like: Remember to lower your voice, as loud voices are interpreted as aggresive and Remember to listen as much as you talk as it can seem rude to talk all the time!! Please let me know as we had a whole morning on radio talkback on this and the general perceptions of Americans. Not all bad I will say, some callers had good experiences travelling, finding the people warm, friendly and sociable. Keep up with the good fignt…dont let George Dubya ruin your good reputation forever!!


  205. one eye buck tooth [X^B says:

    “If you’re going to go in and try to topple Saddam Hussein,you have to go to Baghdad. Once you’ve got Baghdad, it’s not clear what you do with it. It’s not clear what kind of government you would put in place of the one that’s currently there now. Is it going to be a Shia regime, a Sunni regime or a Kurdish regime? Or one that tilts toward the Baathists, or one that tilts toward the Islamic fundamentalists?

    How much credibility is that government going to have if it’s set up by the United States military when it’s there? How long does the United States military have to stay to protect the people that sign on for that government, and what happens to it once we leave?”
    ~ Dick Cheney, 1991


  206. Dr. Don Key says:

    Readin’ with your eyes closed? F’n amazing!


  207. Dr. Don Key says:

    Everyone knows that Cheney was on GWB’s ticket, to appease those Repubs who perceived GWB has too young, moderate, etc. If evangelical, Bible-beatin’ fundie Repubs were consistent, they’d hold Repubs up to the same pious “family-value-type” standards as they do Dems. However, they simply don’t because their anti-minority, anti-woman, anti-Working/Middle class agenda really has nothing to do with Christianity, or religion, for that matter. Repubs hated Clinton because he improved the plight of women and minorities – NOT really because he got some play in the White House – that was just their excuse. They’re just jealous ‘coz GWB could only get a gay reporter to visit him 100+ times. To the best of my knowledge, Repubs typically wouldn’t consider coke-snortin’, gettin’ drunk and goin’ AWOL, as family values. But they like the fact that GWB talks disingenuously about God and “compassionate conservatism” to tickle the eardrums of RedStateRepubs, who tend to be less educated than the rest of the country. But do Repub politicians care? Not really. They make salaries of 100K+, while 36/38 RedStates are the poorest in the country. I sense that the vast majority of those still approving of GWB’s job, would approve of him under any circumstance, due to their ignorance and satisfaction of being in that state. However, most non-rightwing-extremist Repubs are beginning to realize that voting for Repubs is not necessarily a good thing to do, per se. They’ll realize it in full when George W.orst Bush leaves the White House and takes his bumbling, hillbilly self back to Texas.

    Stupid Liberals. Don’t you know normal human beings blink? I mean, I know you snakes don’t have eyelids, but Cheney does. Did you know that when you take pictures of people when they are blinking, it looks like their eyes are closed? Well, its because they are.

    Glad you are still consumed with Bush and Cheney and not coming up with any ideas or suggestions for public policy debates.

    Enjoy your well earned irrelevance.


  217. Junkiness » Blog Archive » Cheney Successfully Didn’t Shoot Chinese President says:

    [...] With his approval rating somewhere between Basic Instinct 2 and a kick in the sweets, Vice President Cheney can use all the good news he can get. So it comes as no surprise that the VP’s office was beaming with pride last week after Cheney was able to avoid shooting Chinese President Hu Jintao, instead simply taking a nap during the Asian leader’s speech.
