“Breakfast was excellent.”
By on Feb 27th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
“Breakfast was excellent.”
Newsweek, via Kevin Drum: “Just after dawn on Tuesday morning, reporters were taken to the mess hall, where Cheney was dining with the troops. ‘How was breakfast?’ a reporter yelled to the VP. ‘Breakfast was excellent,’ Cheney replied, in what were his first three words to the press pool traveling with him on the trip, now in its eighth day.”

“The flapjacks were good, but I really can’t wait for my baby blood smoothie, YUMM-O”
February 27th, 2007 at 1:07 pmMy daughter is station in Bagram for over 2 years and no bombs until Cheney’s visit. Where ever he or Bush go it’s trouble. Thank goodness the troops know the real axis of evil. Afghan has problems but one safe place since the invasion has now been attacked because the real AXIS OF EVIL has come to visit. The Afghan people might not have known to take cover but I know our troops did. When Evil is coming duck.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:07 pmAnd the person who asked Cheney that question was probably part of his security staff, hired to drown out anyone else who may have been thinking of asking a question.
With mundane questions like,
‘How was breakfast?’
Get 6 news “plants” in place, and you can be as comfortable as a tick on a hound, no matter where you go.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:08 pmDarth’s “undisclosed location” – a high-tech customized trailer
so THAT’S where he hides out… equipped, no doubt, with state-of-the-art hazmat gear…
there’s only one “cavernous military transport plane” that comes to mind, and that’s the c17… we now may know more about darth’s security arrangements than his security contingent would like us to know…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
February 27th, 2007 at 1:09 pmSomebody needs to plug Cheney back in for a re-charge.
The robot needs a new program.
What a DICK.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:10 pmThey missed! Too bad.
That’s how the left is reacting to the news that Vice President Cheney was the target of an assasination attempt:
“Patriotic†liberals at the Huffington Post and Democratic Underground are wishing he was killed.
Scum of the earth, all of you.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:17 pmTranslation:
Darth Cheney felt a disturbance in the Force, so he ran and hid in a hole.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:19 pmHe does work for us, doesn’t he? Maybe one of those reporters could remind him of that. (After breakfast)
February 27th, 2007 at 1:21 pmHey Sam, how much innocent blood does Cheney have on his hands because of his reckless policies? Anyone still supporting these criminials is the true scum of the earth.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:22 pmIMPEACH.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:28 pmYes, this may be the first official words to the press, but I have a feeling there’s been a few unofficial words:
Boom, boom, explosion, explosion, bang, bang.
“Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ! What in the hell was that?
Dick, that’s called a bomb. I think you better wind up this trip, and soon.
Dick, welcome to a little thing called war.
Hard of hearing now?
I think the American people are shouting at you to bring the troops home. Well, at least you now have an excuse. You’re deaf.
Of course, we all know you’ve been deaf for years.

February 27th, 2007 at 1:33 pmFIVE deferrments?
February 27th, 2007 at 1:33 pmI like the fact that this d!ckhead saw somebody on another blog say they wish Cheney was hit, which nobody here has said, but he still paints all liberals with the same brush.
For your fu*king info d!ckwad, we all want Cheney alive and well, so he can be held on war crimes in the Hague.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:38 pmThere was really no need to quote that fat sob for he only tells lies. If he said that his “shit on a shingle” was bad, i’d believe it not so.
The reporter might have had a story if he told how the troops had hoped to send him for indoctrination at the torture unit.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:41 pm“Scum of the earth, all of you.”
Comment by Sam — February 27, 2007 @ 1:17 pm
Before you go off snarling at Dems who despise Cheney, take a good look at the scum of Bush&Co who sent 3200 to their deaths, plus 800 mercenaries, plus tens of thousands of Iraqis and who can’t be bothered to equip our guys, nor honor their return to the US with photographs of their coffins, nor adequate health care.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:46 pmThis is the cabal that has lied, cheated and hidden everything possible; they have defied the Constitution, they have re-written laws, they have fired those who would dare to challenge them, they have made a mockery of the deomcratic process, they have ignorerd treaties, ignored geneva conventions, denied basic rights to American citizens — and the list goes on, but you have probably stopped reading.
Cheney should live to account for his war crimes.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:49 pmMary Cheney’s sperm bank has confirmed that the baby is a boy.
Mary, please name this boy: Joe.
Just think! In 18 years this boy will be serving time in the Middle East. GI Joe has a nice ring to it.

February 27th, 2007 at 1:50 pmI think the “attack” was just a daily thing, and they lucked out and Cheney happened to be on site.
What amazing good press and sympathy for the Devil himself.
Personally I want to see him prosecuted here, not dying overseas.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:55 pmFecal-water Koolaid and Crow… mmm… mmmm… good
February 27th, 2007 at 1:56 pmSam,
Bush and Cheney are the enemies of every true American. They have done more harm to our country than OBL or Sadam could ever hope to. To wish harm on your enemy is only natural, but I don’t wish them death. I want them to live long lives, so they can see what the rest of the world and historians think of their evil reign.
Long, miserable and suffering lives. Maybe a colostomy bag, to carry their brains around in.
February 27th, 2007 at 1:57 pmIt appears that the Taliban have pretty damn good intel on what’s going on within our bases.
February 27th, 2007 at 2:00 pmSeems like that could only happen via significant penetration of the base staff.
And, by the way, things are going swimmingly well.

February 27th, 2007 at 2:04 pmHistory will see Bush and Cheney synonomous with Nero and Caligula
“Cheney should live to account for his war crimes.”
One or two more trips like this one, I think we can rule this scenario out.
If Dick intends spending more time counting his Halliburton millions, I think he better make this Middle East trip his last.

February 27th, 2007 at 2:06 pmMy wish for the day, and I must light a candle on it is….Live long and get arrested vile vp self proclamed pres……Recharge his pump in prison…May we all live to see this entire administration held accountable for the evil against us and the world…Blessings, we deserve them..Peace, demant it..
February 27th, 2007 at 2:16 pmLet’s review now Sam:
1. the taliban is claiming responsibility and claiming that they did it because they knew that Cheney was visiting.
2. per the poster #2, whose daughter is apparently stationed at Bagram, there have not been any bombings there for at least two years.
3. reports are saying that possibly two Americans and many others are now dead.
Hmmm, I think that one can safely conclude that thanks to Cheney even more people are now dead! Such a popular person Cheney is…
February 27th, 2007 at 2:33 pmWhy isn’t the VP leading those reporters around, showing them all the progress and all the success stories he has created in that Country??
Seriously, RIGHTIES, why?? isn’t the VP showing those reporters all of the good news that he knows all about but they don’t??????????????
February 27th, 2007 at 3:08 pmDo you realize that, through his investments and ties to Halliburton, that Cheney makes money off eating breakfast in the mess hall?
He probably went back for seconds.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:41 pm“A loud boom. So that is what war is like.”
- Richard Bruce Cheney while changing his soiled shorts.
February 27th, 2007 at 3:57 pm“Boom! Big bada boom!”
- Leeloo from the movie, “The Fifth Element.”
February 27th, 2007 at 4:15 pmIf Darth Cheney had been killed today he would be elevated to hero status — better he should live long enough to have to suffer for his crimes and his family should bear the burden of his name after his heart rusts.
February 27th, 2007 at 7:07 pmKing Dick didn’t say one word about the US soldier who was killed protecting him. That says it all about this soul-less monster.
February 27th, 2007 at 7:29 pmThey missed! Too bad.

Scum of the earth is what Cheney is you boot licking moron. You’re damn right, I wished they had got that evil bastard!!!! Karma is a bitch!!
