Thank Christ.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:03 pmDon’t get too excited, folks. They’re probably saving her for something even worse.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:04 pmHeh. She didn’t make the first cut. :-)
Guess who’s stomping around her house tonight, cursing the WY Republican Party?
June 14th, 2007 at 11:05 pmWelcome to the dark side, beotch.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:05 pmMrs Cheney will say she decided not to apply…
June 14th, 2007 at 11:07 pmThe old bi*ch couldn’t pass the background check…
June 14th, 2007 at 11:09 pmDarth Dicky Cheney was unable to blackmail his wife into the Senate.

…Don’t ask, don’t tell…
…may well have been her undoing…

Comment by big papa
Yeah, I do, some sort of lesbian western, if I’m not mistaken…
what is it w/ this crowd? The more “morally upright” and puritanical in public, the bigger the freak in private.
Didn’t poor Li’l Scooter write an absolutely insane novel, and then there’s Ole Dild O’Reilly… the Falafel King…
June 14th, 2007 at 11:22 pmGreat! One less cheney around our necks.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:25 pmso why the hell didn’t you print the list or give a link to it?

June 14th, 2007 at 11:32 pmFor the second time in my life, I will shed some crocodille tears. The other time? I think that was over Paris H. going back to jail.
June 14th, 2007 at 11:33 pmI think she’s a closeted liberal, maybe, but Dicko doesn’t want “his woman” to be away from home. After all, she’s got to cook and clean and serve him. Or at the very least, order the servants to do it. Remember, republican men think their wives make great housewives, nurses, school teachers, librarians, anything “domestic” — not senators. It’s the exception to the rule, overall, when you see a republican woman with true power. Just look at the Bush wives. All said: IMHO.

I got the same error message earlier, but my post showed up anyway. Apparently (from other comments) it’s been happening all day.

Nah. The Dem governor wouldn’t appoint her.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:07 amI was just banned from crooksandliars.com for speaking the truth about mexico invading california and the long history of wars (which my family has been a part of) netween america and mexico.
but yet they let this hispanic guy completly off the hook when he went and said a long list of outlandish RACIST things about me and my heritage.
IM SO SICK OF WHITE GUILT I COULD EXPLODE!

That’s as may be, Nancy, but even the lesser of three evils is still evil.

Yes…..?
June 15th, 2007 at 12:15 amold hack:
Most Democrats are willing to give these illegal immigrants a second chance (especially since many are parents to AMERICAN CITIZENS).
June 15th, 2007 at 12:15 amWayne and Zooey:
I’m just saying we dodged a bullet with this one.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:16 amwill they give me a second chance to speak my mind freely as the “liberal” constitution” instructs us to on their website? I doubt it Nancy
June 15th, 2007 at 12:18 amheres an Idea. let’s just forget about being american and lets unite mexico and canada. Would that be in the best interest of americans?
Im not a racist. Im sick of not being able to speak my mind yet anyone of another ethnicity being allowed to say anything they feel like saying. Even when that entails racist comments about me and my heritage.

Would you care to elaborate, Nancy?

I don’t think that’s it. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is a zombie like woman, and she’s in the Senate. Same with Lizzy Dole.
I think Wyoming didn’t want to be associated with the Cheneys right now. A lot of the Western states are going blue, like Colorado and Montana. Wyoming has a Democratic governor now.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:21 amAre crooksandliars.com Democrats, old hack?

If Lynne Cheney had been the lesser of three evils to the Dem governor, he would have appointed her. That’s what I meant.
June 15th, 2007 at 12:34 amdid boner cry hysterically when he heard?
June 15th, 2007 at 1:05 amThey’re supposed to be Nancy. But if you look in the comments of the immigrations blog youll see they allowed a hispanic to talk all the trash he wanted about my acestory but deleted almost everything I had to say about my perspective on the the history of race relations between AMERICANS and mexicans.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:17 amAgain, old hack, there are more important matters than immigration.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:21 amnow I see they’re leaving messages about me being an idiot. They’re obviously for plugging the massive immigration from mexico as a good thing and not for anyone thats opposed to it being allowed to speak their mind.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:22 amIf you lived in California you wouldnt dare say there are more important issues. We’re being bankrupted by illegal immigrants flooding into our towns.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:23 amI live in California. How many AMERICAN CITIZENS do you think are children of illegal immigrants? You remind me of the Onion broadcast on TiVo this evening.

Comment by old hack — June 15, 2007 @ 1:23 am
I would think that there must be some Californians serving in the Iraq war who would disagree with you.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:31 amProbably some Californians, children of illegal immigrants that are themselves American citizens, serving in Iraq… sorry for the convoluted sentence.
I don’t think illegal immigration has had a tenth of the negative financial impact on California that say, Enron, did…
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE! It’s divide and conquer, the rich against the poor.
June 15th, 2007 at 1:59 amwouldn’t someone have to bring up her steamy lesbian love stories….. a la Jim Webb
June 15th, 2007 at 6:17 amShe will be out of town soon. Cheney will be moving to Dubai where his money is after the impeachment or his term is up whichever comes first.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:03 amFred Thompson could hire her, he’s got her brilliant daughter on his election team already.
June 15th, 2007 at 7:42 amAw, shucks. I’d hoped she’d out her plastic surgeon while in the limelight.
June 15th, 2007 at 8:29 amScared you guys, though, didn’t she?

Please don’t try to stick your onion imagination on me. Thanks.

According to many con pundits actors are liberals. I have no idea what the Republican party stands for at this point. They are not small government, they are not fiscally responsible, they are not for small government, and have become the war party, there is also alot of corruption in the so called moral majority. The independent party has been hijacked by such sudo conservative hypocrites as well (Lieberman, Savage) The Democrats have become nothing more than a neo-con lite version of the some Platonic idiocracy. Even the fundamentalists have gotten into the greed act by thinking that buying off politicos will somehow cure the moral decay ravaging Washington. It’s like curing cancer by swallowing silver dollars.
Mexico is still a poor mismanaged nation even with billions pumped into it thru tools as NAFTA. American corporations are blindly choking our nation for bottom line profits wholly forgetting about patriotism and outsourcing labor to non-democratic countries. Lobbyists as well are only about profit and special interest groups placing more straws on the camels back. China is holding billions of our dollars and the housing market is in tatters. The great capitalist machine, outfitted with a grand paintjob and shiny wheels and tires, is eating it’s own transmission while choking on it’s own oily fumes.
We have become a nation of litterbug rationalists that seem to think that if we each litter just a little bit then there is no problem.
Just keep looking straight ahead and don’t bother looking out the side window at reality cause everything will take care of itself – even that big ugly thing looming in the rear view mirror that is about to run us over will veer at away at the last minute.
Trust me.

Nancy- you’re taking more abuse than a Timex. I enjoy your irony and sarcasm, but not everybody seems to appreciate your delicate sense of humor.
June 15th, 2007 at 9:08 amThank you Lord!
June 15th, 2007 at 9:30 amThanks, barrelhse.
June 15th, 2007 at 9:51 amWere any of those 31 final contestants NOT rich, old, white men?
June 15th, 2007 at 10:04 amOh happy day!
June 15th, 2007 at 10:23 amThis is good! I have watched and listened to Lynne Cheney several times and there is something about her that seems to be evil too. Perhaps it is her support of the GOP, Bush, her husband and the neocons.
Well, whatever it is I do not like her even one little bit.
June 15th, 2007 at 10:48 amScared you guys, though, didn’t she?

…Nope…
…I’d say she scared the hell out of the inbred wingers…
…given her obvious (though admittedly suppressed) sexual proclivities…
…and EVERYBODY knows…
