WASHINGTON — In February 2008, an aide sent a news article to Vice President Dick Cheney reporting that former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell might vote for a Democrat for president. Sections were highlighted in yellow, and someone had circled a quotation from Mr. Powell in which he said America had lost “a lot” of prestige around the world.
Mr. Cheney recorded no reaction, but one can imagine some consternation at what the vice president presumably deemed disloyalty to the administration that both of them had served. Mr. Powell had been the vice president’s chief internal adversary during President George W. Bush’s first term and had grown disaffected. An aide clearly understood that Mr. Cheney would want to know the latest.

The NY Times is fortunate that their beloved Obama is not considered a “polarizing figure”.
Remember the Hatred coming from the compassionate Left when Cheney got a Heart Transplant? LOL
Notice how little this article was discussed in the MSM?
Not even (let’s-play-nice!)Fox spent an appropriate amount of time on this.
Cheney’s explosive interview was all but gone in less than one news cycle, except for news junkies like you and me.
Cheney is “polarizing”, Obama is the Second Coming. Got it.
Orgasm!
Damn Auto Spell check was off! lol..
LOL!
One of my favorite photos as well.....
most freepers knew.
anyone that watched and actually listened to the joe-the-plumber encounter knew.
“Many people in this site were having organisms over the thought of a “President Powell” only because of his skin color.”
Freudian slip aside, there are not “many” people on this site who are racist as you allege. The overwhelming majority of folks here would support and vote for a qualified black person in a heartbeat given the opportunity. I don’t know where you got that crap from.
Clown Bowell is an ass.
America never loses prestige!
Are people going to China for their grand life and to be more Chinese? Fk no.
Are they rushing the shores of Brazil to become...uhmmmm...whatever?
No effing way.
The world wants to be America!
They want Coca Cola!
They want McDonalds and transfats!
They want Levis!
They want Apple! and American Apples.
They want a ;juicy steak, Murican sized!
They want Pizza Hut and Dominoes!

Hell, they want Freedom to associate with whomever they please!
Say shit about their country and it’s idiot leaders!
Live without fear!
They want Halley Barry and my ex wife, Morgan Fairchild.
They want to watch American TV and movies.
They wish they were Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington or Will Smith, just like the rest of us.
They wanna watch American Sports and feel American but, not take the whole thing too seriously.
They wanna join in an American tradition of eating too much or throwing food away BECAUSE WE CAN!
FK YOU clown powell.
The world wants to be America and wants us to save their sorry asses during a disaster!
Hell, we do it and never even send em a bill for it.
They want FORD and Chevy. Pretty sure God didn’t make a toyota...
plick...
LOL!
having a stroke?
I cannot recall a single instance where Cheney pitted one group of citizens against another. (E.g. "You didn't build that." "Not paying their fair share." Etc.)
ML/NJ
Say, since Bruce Jenner no longer exists, if I wanted to be Bruce Jenner, would I be an Olympic Champion?
I like the use of organisms. Kind of like saying people were having “kittens” but in a nice way.
Even with Ted Cruz in the picture , I would vote for Dick Cheney in a heartbeat. Pun happily intended
.
Dick Cheney failed to stand up for Scooter Libby.
Adios Dick.
Typical NY Slimes article at trying to smear Mr. Cheney...”Mr. Cheney recorded no reaction, but one can imagine some consternation”. It’s hard to believe how some people can actually pay for that rag.
To the consternation of the MSM, they were generic at best.....
Actually he doesn't unless the MSM has a desire to resurrect the "Hellion of Halliburton"....my term....LOL!
Virtually eight years of daily media assaults on both Bush and Cheney in an attempt to influence the first reelection in 2004, which was an epic fail then the doubling down for the Obama election.
It should be noted that we have heard not a word about Halliburton since election day, 2008.........They're still there and they're doing what the country hired them to do under Clinton.......
