Senate Minority Leader McConnell didn’t watch Cheney’s speech.
At a press conference this morning, a reporter asked Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) whether it was “frustrating” to have Dick Cheney representing Republican views on national security issues. McConell didn’t reject the term, and said he had skipped Cheney’s speech today:
QUESTION: Is it kind of frustrating to have Dick Cheney up there speaking for your point of view on this today, because you’ve stood up there and said it’s nice not to have the burden of the Bush administration any more. Politically, is it frustrating —
MCCONNELL: I didn’t watch the Vice Presidnt’s speech. I am here today reacting to the events of yesterday and the president’s speech. But everybody’s got an opportunity to have his say in this country.
Listen here:
It’s clear that the most powerful Republican senator is not the Bush administration’s biggest fan. He called the Bush administration a “political burden” for his party. “President Bush had become extremely unpopular, and politically he was sort of a millstone around our necks in both ‘06 and ‘08,” McConnell said.

Mitch don’t need no fear mongering to make him fearful.
He’s already a coward
May 21st, 2009 at 2:10 pmcept for the people who cant affore health insurance. right?
May 21st, 2009 at 2:11 pmOnly cowards fall for the Cheney/Bush protection racket
May 21st, 2009 at 2:14 pmMitch McConnell’s first wife must thank god/goddess every day that she made her escape.
Because, naturally, as a member of the Republic-Fascist Party, Mitch McConnell has been divorced. The “sanctity of marriage” is only something the Rethug-Fascists preach about, but they certainly don’t practice it.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:14 pmApparently, you didn’t have to tune in to that speech since it was the same old song, defense of the indefensible.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:22 pmWhy don’t Mitch and other GOP tell that “evil” Cheney to, “shut the phuck up?” The GOP are big cowards.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:23 pmWow. Turns out Mitch McConnell and I have something in common after all. Who woulda thunk it?
May 21st, 2009 at 2:31 pmMcConnell today had a choice between watching Cheney or listening to Rush Limbaugh radio show.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:32 pmMcConnell chose Limbaugh,instead of Cheney.
MCCONNELL: I didn’t watch the Vice Presidnt’s speech.
FORMER Vice Presidnt’s speech. …
what the hell is that about? it’s FORMER.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:34 pmUh oh, be careful, Mitch, or Darth Cheney will use the force on you!
May 21st, 2009 at 2:36 pmBased on Mitchy’s expression, Cheney must have his entire arm up this puppet’s cavity.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:39 pmMitchy, to have a millstone around your neck would imply you have a neck. Your tiny shoulders transition to your head, like a snake.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:48 pmPoor Mitch, a big, senior Republican senator who has to take marching orders from Cheney/Rush. Opps, should that be Rush/Cheney. The Republicans are confusing me. Who’s in, who’s out. I give Mitch credit; his frustrations haven’t slipped out in public lately.
May 21st, 2009 at 2:49 pmWhat does Michael Steele have to say about this?
Oh, right.
Nobody cares.

May 21st, 2009 at 3:17 pmWow, nice photo of McConnell.
May 21st, 2009 at 4:04 pmWhat’s the caption?
“Would you buy a used car from this weasel?”
or
“Your children, how much for the children…..I want to buy your children” (John Belushi reference)
The right wing sure loves the Fairness Doctrine now.
May 21st, 2009 at 9:32 pmDid I miss an election? Is Cheney still Vice President? WTF is going on in this world that the man who left office months ago is still called Vice President. He is Ex-Vice President. You’re insulting Biden.
May 21st, 2009 at 9:43 pmMcConnell didn’t watch Cheney’s speech because he was busy rubberizing (technically, re-vulcanizing) his face.
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:05 amMitch is just pissy because he came thisclose to losing his seat to a shitty Democratic candidate in 2008, Bunning is going to lose his seat in 2010 (probably to Dem Lt. Gov. Mongiardo), and ole Mitch is going to be in for a hell of a fight next time he’s up for re-election. He knows good and well that the only reason he won his seat back this past year is because in the midst of an economic collapse, Kentucky decided that it’s better to have a Senator with as much senority as possible than to have a Senator with some common sense.
We are getting tired of his crap, thanks to Lexington, Louisville, and the greater Cincinnati area we are slowly turning bluer and bluer (we usually elect Dems to run the state, but we were bellweather on Presidents since 1964, until Obama that is), and, more to the point, it’s just embarassing at this point to even have to claim these yahoos.
I look forward to getting rid of them.
