Cheney says Pelosi is ‘rewarding bad behavior.’
In an ABC News interview, Vice President Cheney called Speaker Pelosi’s diplomatic venture “unfortunate.” Syrian Prime Minister Assad has “been isolated and cut off be of his bad behavior,” Cheney said. “The unfortunate thing about the Speaker’s visit is it sort of breaks down that barrier. His bad behavior’s being rewarded in a sense.”

Riiight, so what about the some of the republican delegates who went to Syria?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:12 pmpaging Reps. Robert Aderholt and Frank Wolf
April 4th, 2007 at 3:13 pmBad Assad, Naughty Assad. Get to your corner!
April 4th, 2007 at 3:13 pmLet’s give Cheney a Lollipop for 7 years of model behaviour…
April 4th, 2007 at 3:13 pmCheney is still around. Does that mean he has been rewarded for his bad behavior?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:14 pmHey Cheney, no one is listening to you naymore. You’ve been wrong on everything. EVERYTHING! Just get back into your hole for the next couple years.
At least Iran continues to make us look stupid on the international stage. They released the British sailors today. This happened only through talking. Imagine what we might accomplish if we did the same thing.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:14 pmYour reward for bad behavior is yet to come
April 4th, 2007 at 3:15 pmAnd how shall America reward your behavior, Mr. Chainee?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:16 pmif anybody’s “bad behavior” has been rewarded, it’s cheney’s… he’s alienated virtually everyone he comes in contact with, except, that is, those who share his fanatical ideology and profound paranoia – OR who are willing to exchange their values and dignity for a political favor (e.g., australia’s john howard)… go away, dick… you make me ill…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
April 4th, 2007 at 3:17 pmShouldn’t Cheney just shoot the guy in the face then?
HAHAHA! Year old jokes!
April 4th, 2007 at 3:18 pmThe “Do as we say or we will bomb you” method of diplomacy leaves a lot to be desired.
Look at what Britain achieved by talking to the Iranians. Thank God Cheney didn’t do the negotiating.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:18 pmCheney : go phuck yourself.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:18 pmDick Cheney, the voice of truth and reason, aha.
Hey Dick, why was your friend Rove pelted at American University in Washington, DC? No barrier? Bad behavior?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:18 pmsays the main hiding alone in the rose garden at Dumbya’s press meltdown yesterday.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:19 pmI guess Cheney sent Syria to go sit in a corner, all by themselves, and think about what they’ve done. Nancy Pelosi is just ruining it by going to talk with Syria while they are in “time out.”
Doesn’t she know we have to treat these countries like children?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:20 pmThat should have been man, not main
April 4th, 2007 at 3:20 pmI guess he considers the visit to Syria by Republican congressmen to be an insult.
I agree with that! Republicans are an insult that average Americans should not be forced to live with!
Fewer Republicans in DC in 2008!
April 4th, 2007 at 3:21 pmDoes anyone still listen to this guy anymore — I am glad someone brought up his rather creepy lurkings outside of the Rose Garden presser — or how about that neither Cheney nor the Pres. can even travel 3 miles east of 1600 PA Avenue to throw out the first pitch at the Nationals game lest they get booed, student protests at BYU or all places — WE ALL CAN’T BE WRONG DICK.
Whenever I hear either he or his vacuous little sock puppet speak all I hear is the drone of adult voices from the Peanuts cartoons — BWAWAh Wah Wah.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:25 pmLOL PELOSI BAD BAHAVIOR. LETS JUST LOOK AT THE REALITY OF

April 4th, 2007 at 3:26 pmBAHAVIOR THE PAST 5 YEARS
The British “rewarded bad behavior” and got the 15 sailors released.
Maybe it would have been better to kill a few hundred thousand Iranians, a few thousand British troops, bomb the hell out of the Iranian structure and take on another forever war in yet another quagmire?
Jesus F Christ! The Right needs to learn to think with their heads and not with their Dicks.
Talk talk is better than war war.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:27 pmCheney rewards his friends with a shotgun in the face.
I can just imagine the Everquest response Dork Cheney would incite:
Dork Cheney talks tough.
You have lost faction with US Citizens
You have lost faction with US Allies
You have lost faction with Everyone
Dork Cheney shoots friend in face for his “behavior”
You have lost faction with US Citizens
You have lost faction with US Allies
You have lost faction with Everyone
Dork Cheney tries to bully everyone
You have lost faction with US Citizens
You have lost faction with US Allies
You have lost faction with Everyone
And this “behavior” of Cheney’s (bullying, lying, dodging the draft) has only weakened our national security and made our interests and allies across the world a bigger target.
Way to go Cheney. We’ll keep giving you the rope. You and Bush look like total morons the more you speak. Can’t wait ’till your approval rating sinks to less than 10%
April 4th, 2007 at 3:28 pmCHENEY DO YOUR POLITICAL PARASITES/LEECHES INCLUDE

EVERYONE PUKE 28% DISSAPPROVAL RATE AND A 78% RATING
IN BAD CORRUPT BAHAVIOR. REWARDING … WHAT YOUR CRONY’S
AND CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
Rewarding “bad” behavior? And this from the same Dick Cheney, who once downed “just one beer†at lunch, shot a 78-year-old man in the face, and then sent his friend out to lie about it to everyone.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:29 pmTalk talk is better than war war.
Comment by Abby — April 4, 2007 @ 3:27 pm
Where is the money in talking? Now the Brits are released and Cheney didn’t get a cut of any profits.
Dammit he has bills to pay!
April 4th, 2007 at 3:32 pmChainee commonly uses the word ’sense’
April 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pmIt appears he uses it as a potential disclaimer for the statement in which he uses it.
As in “My sense of (the topic) is such and such…
or
This is (so) in a sense
By using the term in the context of a less than direct statement of belief, he leaves himself an out.
Most likely for his own (lack of) conscience, so that he can blow off criticism and challenge.
20 / The British “rewarded bad behavior†and got the 15 sailors released.
Did you also notice the British were all kitted out in Armani suits for free care of the Iranian Tax payer
Instead of the free orange jump suits provided by the America Goverment
April 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pmHonestly. Does anyone give a shit what Cheney thinks? The only possible response form Pelosi should be “Cheney can kiss my lilly-white ass.”
April 4th, 2007 at 3:36 pmAmericans have just heard from what use to be a cartoon PINKY AND THE BRAIN. Yes Pinky (Bush) and the Brain (Cheney). Both are trying to take over the world and both will lose as always. Cheney is more worried about Waxman then Pelosi. Yes all those secret deals and pay offs will come to light. That’s why the Republicans went ahead of the Pelosi visit, to make sure the Syrians wouldn’t tell about the Bush/Cheney team have been up to for the past 6 years. For the past 6 years the Bush Administration has been making deals and paying off people to lies torture and do as they say.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:39 pmNow the Pelosi team will get an ear full of those corrupt actions and Cheney will have more then a heart condition/blood clot in the leg when this team gets back. Americans will find out where the injured troops money went and why Walter Reed was cut by the Bush Administration.
Pelosi is Talking thats great news
Lets hope she Talks to Iran and North Korea
imagine that the nuclear clock would go back to 11.30
April 4th, 2007 at 3:39 pmYo Dick, got clots?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:39 pmIran just might be on my holiday list soon – well done Mahmoud Ahmadinejad you were waiting for big mouth Bush to blow his trumpet and make him look like an arse , well done
April 4th, 2007 at 3:42 pmAaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!
April 4th, 2007 at 3:42 pmThese repugs need a good smack accross the face!!!
We need to take to the streets and oust these f’ers!!!
No. Pelosi is promoting peace.
Maybe Darth Cheny doesn’t want peace? Who knows what his evil little heart wants?
[from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6522743.stm ]
The US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad has assured her in talks that he is ready to resume peace talks with Israel.
In Damascus, Ms Pelosi also said she gave Mr Assad a similar message from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert…
“The meeting with the president enabled us to communicate a message from Prime Minister Olmert that Israel was ready to engage in peace talks as well…” – Nancy Pelosi, US House Speaker
April 4th, 2007 at 3:42 pmRewarding bad behavior? Is she over there giving away the Medal of Honor?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pmThe reichwing S&M crowd isn’t into positive rewards unless it’s something like; “Best use of a Whip” or Most Creative Knots”.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pmAmericans have figured out that labeling others as “evil, bad, or nasty” is childish and not what we want from our national leaders. Diplomacy is more than threatening others with weapons of mass destruction in order to force agreement. Cheney/rove/bush have proven over and over that their neo-con use of military force and perpetual war will not make Americans safer. . . it’s going to be painful to cheney/rove/bush to have Americans force them to change their behavior.
April 4th, 2007 at 3:46 pm#6 – isn’t that the truth? When was the last time that Cheney was right about anything?
April 4th, 2007 at 3:56 pmRove certainly is being rewarded for bad behavior… and most of Bush’s administration…
April 4th, 2007 at 4:00 pmThis is literally driving Big Dick & ‘Lil W up the wall.
April 4th, 2007 at 4:30 pmThey dreaded Pelosi taking the leadership post to begin with. Now she’s showing the world that some Americans still believe in diplomacy. Condi’s word to Israel on Syrian talks? ‘Don’t even think about it’. That’s our Sec of State!
Condi, the next time you’re going to open that big mouth, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
#26 – I think we ought to keep Cheney around and constantly ask his opinion. Then we should do the exact opposite of what he says – like a reverse oracle.
April 4th, 2007 at 5:13 pmCheney shut your pie hole and stay behind the bush.
April 4th, 2007 at 5:20 pmRewarding bad behavior is the Bush/Cheney forte.
They don’t know how to do anything else nearly as well.
From the California energy crisis to fudged regulations and tax breaks for polluters, they excel at rewarding bad behavior.
Not to mention torture. Bad behavior par excellent.
April 4th, 2007 at 5:39 pmIf Pelosi were REALLY rewarding bad behavior, Cheney would be at the front of the line.
April 4th, 2007 at 7:05 pmIf anyone knows about bad behavior, that’s VP Cheney.
Not that it bothers him in the least….
April 4th, 2007 at 9:18 pmSHUT YOUR TRAP, FRANKENCheney, AND KEEP YER TRAP SHUT OR I WON’T BRING YA YOUR EVENING BUCKET OF BOLTS TO REPLENISH THE ONES THAT FELL OUT OF YOUR CREAKING MONSTROSITY OF A WARPED CARCASE EARLIER TODAY!!!!!
April 4th, 2007 at 10:02 pmWell, at this point, not even Republican Congressmen care what the Bush administration says. Or at least not when it comes to Syria:
“I don’t care what the administration says on this. You’ve got to do what you think is in the best interest of your country,” said Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. “I want us to be successful in Iraq. I want us to clamp down on Hezbollah.”
3 Republicans part with Bush on Syria
Clearly, Rep Wolf has already separated love for his country from blind following of the Dear (mis)Leader; a concept the 30%ers have yet to wrap their teeny little minds around.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:12 pmIf there’s one subject Cheney knows a lot about, it’s rewarding bad behaviour.
April 5th, 2007 at 9:12 amExcuse me, DICK, you have established a new paradigm for bad behavior never before seen in the history of the United States!
It makes me want to vomit every time I hear, AGAIN, how your company has profited and fraudulently bilked HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS while HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of men, women, and children have died!
How do you sleep at night?
What must the world think of us seemingly supporting this BAD BEHAVIOR???
Impeach both Bush and Cheney now!
April 5th, 2007 at 9:32 am“Riiight, so what about the some of the republican delegates who went to Syria?”
What about Nancy Pelosi being the Speaker of the House and therefor not a conductor of foreign policy according to the constitution of this nation and still currently the most powerful member in congress. Not only should she not have gone to Syria,she needs to be on medication and in a mental hospital.
April 11th, 2007 at 11:45 amSyria has not done anything decent after numerous trips by . U.S. delegations and delegations from other countries since 911 and before,, they do nothing because they are only a puppet of IRAN, and do what they are told by fanatics.
