Lynne Cheney wants a leader in the ‘the Dick Cheney mold.’
In an interview with the Associated Press today, Lynne Cheney indicated that the thought of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) as president makes her feel “uncomfortable.” She added that she wishes the senator were more like Vice President Cheney:
I kind of like politicians that are more in the Dick Cheney mold, who say what they mean and mean what they say.
Most Americans don’t agree. Just 23 percent approve of the job Cheney is doing.

October 17th, 2007 at 6:30 pmAlso, a politician that doesnt belong to any branch of the govt?
October 17th, 2007 at 6:31 pmCheney go fuk yourselves.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:32 pmReally? I would think she’d want someone more like Ralph Nader. I never would have guessed she’d want someone like her husband.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:32 pmSecretive, petty, and evil. Surrrree thing.

Why vote for the lesser evil?
October 17th, 2007 at 6:33 pmthe ‘the Dick Cheney mold.’
(slime mold)
October 17th, 2007 at 6:36 pmI’d like a president who takes out the target when he/she shoots somebody in the face. No messin around.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:37 pmKrazny, you got me laughing there!!!!
October 17th, 2007 at 6:38 pmHillary is like Dick.
1. Both advocate hedgomony and imperialism occupation.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:39 pm2. Both are dangerously secretive and refuse to publish documents.
3. Both fantasize about unilateral imperial presidency power.
4. Both rely too much upon AIPAC’s agenda
5. Both are shills for their corporate masters.
Dick Cheney at 23% approval? George Bush’s current job approval rating, according to this Yahoo news story is now at 24%.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071017/ts_nm/usa_politics_poll_dc
Dick is catching up and must be feeling pretty good about himself.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:39 pmLynne wants the Dick Cheney mold? Oh, she means Vladimir Putin.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:40 pmOooooh, spank me, Daddy! Tell me how *naughty* I’ve been!!!! Oooh! Oooh!!
Ew.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:41 pmIt isn’t bad enough that we have to look at and hear Bush and Cheney, but what is with trotting out the wives to do their dirty work? Can Bush and Cheney be so delusional that they think the people will be more forgiving because they’re sending out the “fairer sex” to promote their lies and the republican party line? It’s not working guys. All you’re accomplishing is proving what the American people already think: both your wives are a couple of no-count whores.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:42 pmI really hope someone broke the “Dick mold.”
Blech…
October 17th, 2007 at 6:42 pmZoo!!! Nice reading you.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:45 pmHitler has been reincarnated in the form of Dick Cheney.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:51 pmsome one in the “Dick Cheney Mold”…maybe she had someone in mind like Satan…good choices could also be Hitler or Stalin…
October 17th, 2007 at 6:53 pmYeah, like Cheney’s ‘last throe’ remark in 2005…
October 17th, 2007 at 6:53 pmCheney’s claim: ‘We will be received as liberators” in Iraq in 2003.
Cheney’s claim” We are going to win the Congress in 2006…”
Yeah, ‘they say what they mean and mean what they say…’
That was lucky. If she’d said “I like a leader who is a straight shooter” I’d have wet my pants.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:55 pmWhy are we forced to listen to/see Laura Shrub’s and Cheated-On Cheney’s useless , empty-headed opinions ?
Who for one moment would believe either of them would say anyone besides an individual/pair of running mates that emulate(s) their pieces of shit spouses is worthy/qualified/acceptable as the next president/vice president ?
October 17th, 2007 at 6:56 pmShe sleeps with deadeye dick.
What she finds comfortable is kinda creepy.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:56 pmDick Cheney’s mold lies inside a coffin in his bunker, lined with unhallowed dirt. Just pour in a mass of corrupt putrefaction, shake well, mix in the blood of a child sacrificed in a Black Mass and presto, another Cheney pops out.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:57 pmIf she wants someone in the dick cheney mold, she should support one of the generals from Burma.
October 17th, 2007 at 6:58 pmLynne Cheney wants a leader in the ‘the Dick Cheney mold.’
I believe Dracula is just a myth/legend , ugly lady ………..
October 17th, 2007 at 7:00 pmi guess she didn’t watch
CHENEY’S LAW – FRONTLINE – PBS
last night…
evidently she wants a monarch…
btw you can watch it online, anytime…
October 17th, 2007 at 7:01 pmi’d recommend you do so…
.
someone drop a piano on that person.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:04 pmsorry lynne, but Attila the Hun died more than 1500 years ago.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:06 pmShe likes politicians who are just plain mean.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:11 pmFrankly, anything that makes Lynne Cheney “uncomfortable” is A-OK in my book.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:12 pmLet’s hope Lynn and Dick don’t endorse Dick’s cousin Senator Obama. If that happens it’s bad news for the Obama campaign. Some relatives you just want to forget you have and Obama would be wise to drop this Cheney group. I only wish the Bush/Cheney base had known of this family tree when they went to the voting booth.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:13 pmJuan, nice reading you as well. :)
October 17th, 2007 at 7:16 pmI think she means someone with a huge schlong….like a plaster mold.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:17 pmThis is a job for Cynthia Plaster Caster.
Dick thinks he’s a rock star. Ugh.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:18 pmI wish someone could answer a simple question: who gives a rats ass what lynn scum-of-the-earth cheneymaggot thinks? And why is she on national television? (oops, sorry, 2 questions).
October 17th, 2007 at 7:30 pmActually it was a good thing Lynne Cheney was bad mouthing the Frontline documentary on PBS last night. Otherwise I would have missed it. It was great, and showed several staunch Republicans who quit over the wire tapping issue.
Maybe there is hope after all for intelligent conservatives .
October 17th, 2007 at 7:35 pmExcept I’m betting Lynn Cheney didn’t call her “Senator”, all the rethugs purposely refer to Hilllary as “Mrs. Clinton”. They will use any and all means to knock her down a few pegs! We should drop Rep and Sen and VP and Pres. and refer to all of them as Mr. and Mrs also!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:36 pmAmerica doesn’t need another Moldy Dick.
-GSD
October 17th, 2007 at 7:38 pmAanya,
You haven’t noticed that very often Bush is called “Mr Bush,” rather than President Bush? Keep an eye out, you’ll catch them doing it — usually on tv news.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:39 pmLynn Cheney: “the thought of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) as president makes her feel “uncomfortable.â€
Is it a gender issue, Mrs. Cheney?
(I’m only asking because you have raised this issue in the past in your publishings, and it’s a family thing as well…….)
October 17th, 2007 at 7:39 pmLynne Cheney is just plain batsh!t insane.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:46 pmWho cares… what Lynn Cheney thinks? She doesn’t have a veto pen, so she’s not relevant.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:47 pmLynne wants someone “in the Dick mode”? Then I’d suggest checking out some adult sex toys?
October 17th, 2007 at 7:47 pmWell everyone was breathing better with Cheney at the helm instead of Bush on 9/11. But no one guessed how far gone he was. Pretty telling when he claims Executive Priviledge all the time. Interesting that Libby hasn’t written a book, maybe he is afraid he will need knee replacements if he spoke out.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:53 pmNeocons ain’t about the truth, they’re about lying to the “ignorant masses”. Darn Straussian PNACcios
October 17th, 2007 at 7:53 pmDick is catching up and must be feeling pretty good about himself.
Comment by Starve-A-Bush_Feed-A-Beaver
Dick is not catching up, Bush is catching down!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:56 pmNot only is Cheney’s approval rating a feeble 23% today, it was only 39% in late July 2001. American’s have never taken to Cheney.
October 17th, 2007 at 7:57 pm“…a leader who shoots fire and brimstone from his nostrils, and sulphurous smoke from his ears and ass – just like Dick.” she went on to say.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:02 pmWell…..hard to say what’s left of any clear thinking ability after years in direct contact with the main sewage source.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:13 pmSad to think sewage could look like food after doing time in this environment.
Is she wind-up or battery operated?
She’s a cunt and he’s a lying murderer.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:31 pmWhat mold, a jello mold?
October 17th, 2007 at 8:37 pmWrong country, Lynne.
October 17th, 2007 at 8:50 pmOnly 15 months until Lynne joins the august company of Marilyn Quayle, Eleanor Mondale, Happy Rockefeller, Judy Agnew, Muriel Humphrey, and so on. (I except Tipper because her husband proved there could be intelligent life after the vice presidency.)
October 17th, 2007 at 9:04 pmGood grief! Hasn’t her mate caused enough death and destruction?
October 17th, 2007 at 9:08 pmShe wants more like him — well she can have him, comfortably, all to herself in 15 months. The rest of us say good riddance – and hope to see him in prison in 24 months. We will take comfort in that.
I like politicians that say what they mean and mean what they say too!
When do they start?
October 17th, 2007 at 9:15 pmGene Simmons ain’t got nuthin on Dick Cheney.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:49 pmGuido professionally identified Lynn for what she is. He knows his work.
October 17th, 2007 at 9:50 pmI think I found some of the “Dick Cheney Mold” growing in an expired tub of cottage cheese.
It wasn’t pretty…
October 17th, 2007 at 9:58 pmCheck out the outline of Lynne’s head in the photo above and compare it to the background. Maybe I’m wrong, but it looks like she’s been Photoshopped into the picture. Perhaps they are spending so little time together lately that they have to fake pics together?
October 17th, 2007 at 10:10 pmIsn’t mold an extremely primitive predecessor of yeast or fungus?
October 17th, 2007 at 10:25 pmI wonder who I should believe..FRONTLINE…or her.
October 17th, 2007 at 10:33 pmi think “in the cheney mold”
must mean — at least this
[see a new nightly nolo!]:
possessing a man-sized safe,
directing an aid to perjure hisself,
blasting the face of one’s own
lawyer in a drunken haze, declaring
oneself to be a fourth branch of
government, believing the geneva
conventions were just “suggestions”,
believing no law applies to executive
branch level officers — save the law
of executive priviledge. . .
uh, yeah — i could go on and on, but i guess
this is what lynne cheney thinks is “saying
what one means, and meaning what one
says. . .”
pathetic.
October 17th, 2007 at 10:58 pm2 words that are totally appropriate together-
October 17th, 2007 at 11:12 pmCheney and Mold
Oh gosh, that is one thing we don’t need is a MOLDY OLD DICK!!!
Buck Fush
October 17th, 2007 at 11:52 pmDoes she think that we, the people, don’t know who the old Dick Cheney is and what he has done to our Country?
October 18th, 2007 at 12:22 amShe speaks as if nothing has happened in the past few years. I am sure there are many Americans laughing at her for her attempt to put a façade for her husband.
I wonder if America will EVER recover from the damage caused by this administration.
Great! Tell Lynne Cheney to move to Russia.
October 18th, 2007 at 12:38 amMarie-Therese Cheney is just saying what Louis XIV’s wife would say about “cake”. Many years after that, the French Revolution came along. Think about it!
October 18th, 2007 at 6:16 amMaybe you got the quote wrong. I think it went like this.
“I kind of like politicians that are more in the Dick Cheney mold, who say that they are mean and are mean in what they say.”
October 18th, 2007 at 7:14 amI don’t know where to start, there are just so many ways to go with the whole “Dick”, “mold”, “slime”, etc..
And Mrs. Cheney is equally as slimy as her dick (so to speak).
I do know that some full strength chlorine will kill slime mold won’t it? It’s not recommended for humans though, but wait..
DISCLAIMER: I’m not advocating anyone actually try this!
October 18th, 2007 at 7:20 am(I’m a Democrat, not a Republican)
Correction: It should have been “as her “Dick”.” (with a capital “D”!).
October 18th, 2007 at 7:25 am- Need more coffee..
People who mean what they say and say what they mean don’t suffer heart attacks when they’re 37…. They also don’t see the need for secrecy… If Cheney is such an upright and honest man, why is he the most secretive VP that ever lived? You married this batman villain, Lynne, ofcourse you want your political leader to be the same as your highschool boyfriend. You are stating the blindingly obvious. Just don’t let the American people suffer because you don’t have the intellect to marry a decent guy, mkay?
October 18th, 2007 at 7:31 am#34- pluege- my sentiments.
October 18th, 2007 at 7:37 am“I kind of like politicians that are more in the Dick Cheney mold, who say what they mean and mean what they say.” — Lynne Cheney
Who knew she was a Jimmy Carter fan?
October 18th, 2007 at 8:22 amLynne Cheney and Dick are a joke. Heaven help us all.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:23 amMean and moldy . . . that’s how Lynn likes her men . . . kinky.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:11 pmOnly 15 months until Lynne joins the august company of Marilyn Quayle, Eleanor Mondale, Happy Rockefeller, Judy Agnew, Muriel Humphrey, and so on. (I except Tipper because her husband proved there could be intelligent life after the vice presidency.)

I can agree with most of your post, however Mondale’s wife is named Joan; their daughter is Eleanor. And I think a certain degree of exception should be made for Joan Mondale, who has been very active in promoting civic art projects both in Minnesota and in Japan, where her husband served as Ambassador when Clinton was president. BTW, I am sorry to be late in responding to this, but I just returned from a trip to China.
