I’m for Mrs. Dick.

Do you not remember the 70’s? This was the decade when women decided they were human beings and not mere appendages of the men they were married to. Furthermore, many women resented the idea that they had to be tagged with a title indicating their marital status and men did not.

The term “Ms.” (pronounced Mizz) didn’t come about to designate a formerly married woman. It came about because in our society, men were known as “Mr.” whether they were married or not. Women wanted a marriage-neutral title, too — that they could use in business situations and other times when their marital status was irrelevant.

As a result, you will find “Ms.” used for all adult women — single women, married women, divorced women, and widowed women. And it’s especially used when the user has no idea what the marital status of the woman is.

In the case of Lynne Cheney, I would support the use of “Mrs.” though. She is obviously shilling for her husband and not herself, so Mrs. is appropriate. And not even “Mrs. Lynne Cheney”, but “Mrs. Dick Cheney.”

Is she the only person the neocons can find who their focus groups say people will believe? Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel, aren’t they?

COME ON AMERICA! She’s married to Dick Cheney! Is SHE going to tell you the truth?????????

This is a pretty vivid demonstration of just how much the media is “in the pocket” of the right wing when they go this far out of their way to publish a right-wing opinion. They know if they show any more of Bush, Cheney, Rice, McConnel, etc., the people will turn the channel, so they pick the mothballs out of Lynne’s hair and push her on stage. It’s television – we can’t smell the formaldehyde.

I thought it was actually quite fair handed, really. It gave Yoo all the chance in the world to defend what any reasonable human being can plainly see as treason. He came out looking like the same toady he was going in. He still seems to feel that it’s perfectly acceptable to dismantle the Constitution if and when there arises an inconvenient situation, and is sure that he and his ilk are the right ones to decide when that situation occurs.

The framers set out a fairly comprehensible document describing the foundation of our country. As far as “legalese” goes, it is a wonder of clarity. That there are people who can and will confuse, obscure and destroy it to further their own ends is appalling. These people can be called nothing but traitors. It falls clearly under the definition of the term, much as it pains me to say it. They even admit as much, drunk with power as they are. They need to be held accountable, and punished as the law provides, that it should not seem profitable for others of their sort to attempt the same behavior.

At one point in the show it said something to the effect that this administration, right after 9/11, decided that it would have to be the rule of men rather than the rule of law. Once again, there is but one word for that.

Lynn, Lynn, Lynn,

You shouldda stuck with girlz.

Cheney and Addington are authoritarians, the real Banana Republicans.

We the American people, through our Congress, should investigate, impeach, indict and delouse our government.

this is an astonishing piece of
video-journalism — it is also a
thoroughly-damning account of mr.
cheney’s thirty-year quest to
render the congress, and the courts
as secondary branches — behind the
executive branch as the primary
branch of government.

too bad the framers had an entirely
opposite idea — three co-equal branches.

do watch it.

it WILL send chills down your spine.

especially now that we know cheney
was pressuring qwest to surveil americans
without the benefit of any warrant at least
eight months PRIOR to 9/11 — per joseph
nacchio’s appellate filings, just unsealed, in denver. . .

p e a c e

Now that’s rich!

If it’s such a egregious libel, Mrs. Cheney, feel free to sue. Oh wait, that would require you to show PBS got their facts wrong.

Never mind.

It is my understanding (and please, someone correct me if I’m wrong), that the term “MS. So-and-So” came about to separate women that were divorced or widowed from women that were unmarried or married.

Yuck, now that I read that backto myself, it’s pretty damn sad that they have to be separated in this manner.

I predict that Dick will be exposed as more evil than any of us ever knew.
