Maureen Dowd: Cheney Grabs a Third Term (fine by me, Modo Bird!)
New York Times ^ | 5/20/09

Posted on 05/20/2009 4:21:55 PM PDT by lewisglad

It isn’t so much that Dick and Rummy are back. It’s that they never left.

They had no intention of turning America’s national security over to the Boy Wonder. The two best infighters in Washington history weren’t yielding turf to a bunch of peach-fuzz pinkos who side with terrorists.

Let W. work out at the S.M.U. gym in Dallas, waiting for history to redeem him; Dick and Rummy are leaning forward into history, as they always do. Cheney is tawny with TV makeup; there’s no point taking it off. The gigs are nonstop, and he has a big Obama-bashing speech Thursday at the American Enterprise Institute.

“I can’t believe how easy it was to bring Obama into line,” Rummy says, gnawing on Gorgonzola.

“You’re running national security now and everyone knows it,” Rummy says. “You got Obama to do an about-face on the torture photos. He’s using our old line about how it would endanger the troops. He’s keeping our military tribunals. His Justice Department invoked our state secrets privilege to try to get that lawsuit on torture and rendition dismissed. He’s trying to stop any sort of truth commission, thank goodness. He’s got his own surge going in Afghanistan. He’s withdrawing from Iraq more slowly. He’s extended our secret incursions over the Afghan border into Pakistan.”

“I hear Poppy Bush is furious at you,” he says. “He’s telling folks he put Junior in your care and you stole his presidency and destroyed the Bush name and derailed Jeb’s chances to be president, and you wrecked the country and the Atlantic alliance to boot. He has it in for Lynne, too. Thinks she spun you up, like she did in high school with her flaming batons. He thinks you got loopy from all the heart procedures. And Colin’s mad at you.”

No, Mo, you don't "gnaw" on goronzola. It's too soft for that. Can't you get ANYTHING right?

Did she and Biden collaborate on (plagiarizing) this? Maybe from Joe’s secret hideaway?

And how long will it take for history to redeem you, you plagiarizing liberal meathead?

Aren’t there some rules about MoDo threads?

I admit, some of it was kind of funny. But you still suck Maureene.

The two best infighters in Washington history...

Cheney an infighter? For sure. And a good one at that.
But if Mo is talking about George Bush she must be having those pesky acid flashback induced paranoid delusions again.
