According to the Cheney ‘one percent doctrine’, if there’s a one percent chance that Cheney would want to increase conflict or incite war, it must be treated as a certainty.

What did you say? “why isn’t Cheney in jail?”.

Maybe because the Cheney one percent doctrine is madness.

CHENEY: I know Leon. We first met back in the Nixon administration when we were both Republicans. And then I served with him for 10 years in the House of Representatives. He was, of course, a Democrat, I was a Republican in the House. I like him a lot. He is one of my favorite Democrats, if I can put it in those terms. That may be the kiss of death for Leon, but I am very fond of him. He is a very talented guy.

“Kiss of death”? Rather odd — and vaguely ominous — choice of words, if you ask me. One can only hope that it wasn’t a Freudian slip on Dick’s part…

After all, if memory serves (and it usually does), wasn’t Harry Whittington — the man whom Cheney shot in the face on that infamous hunting trip — also supposedly an friend of Cheney’s? With “friends” like that…well…you know.

Watch your back, Leon — even if only just the figurative one (but it couldn’t hurt to watch the literal one as well).

P.S. — Panetta’s backstep by proxy almost seems to suggest that perhaps we weren’t the only ones who perceived Cheney’s words as potentially containing a veiled threat!

My question is, why wasn’t he working during his first year?

If you post ANYTHING it is a certainty that it is stupid. My GOD you are an ignorant punkass troll

Really Dick? KISS OF DEATH????

Interesting choice of words! Cheney better pray (to whatever satanic deity he worships) that nothing ever happens to Panetta!!!

too bad…

i first heard the accusation that cheeeney was hoping for an attack, other than my own head, from ed shultz, about 2 mos ago…

hell, everybody with a brain knows it and plenty say it…

don’t back down, any more, panetta.

Please be careful, Mr. Panetta. When Dick Cheney threatens to kill someone, he usually does it.

You may have something there — that undisclosed location he used to favor when Bush was in office — could have been in Transylvania, where all his friends come out at night.

Yes, it does seem that way — he doesn’t say it with certainty — he says it appears that way.
If a repug had said anything near this about a Dem, they would not back track, they would certainly not apologize, and their colleagues would humiliate anyone who would pose such an “appearance.”

IOKIYAR — and the media loves it.

I hope my old enemy Dick is misplaced.

Yes, but, why? Did they suffer a psychotic break when they were young? Were they taught to hate by their parents? Did their blood lines lose a critical chromosome somewhere along the way?

I would suspect one or a combination of those things. I once read somewhere that many authoritarians were abused by their fathers. I’m sure you would find that many of the psychological disorders suffered by right-wingers, from simple lack of reasoning ability, to cognitive dissonance, to outright violence, could be traced back to abusive parents. Unfortunately, such abuse is passed down from one generation to the next.

BTW, I notice AP took off after realizing that he exposed his right-wing terrorist leanings.
