Cheney Ups the Ante on Obama
Environmental Republican ^ | 4/20/09 | Scott

Posted on 04/20/2009 4:29:02 PM PDT by sswenviron

Dick Cheney is not only smart but he is ruthless and is a shrewd politician. Obama is an amateur and not even remotely in Cheney's league, he should have left well-enough alone but opted to embarrass the Bush administration and neuter our intelligence efforts in one fell swoop by releasing the torture memos that, as I noted earlier, are dubious at best.

Obama doesn't want to deal with Darth Vader on this one.

Why not add the point to the lead post?
“I [Dick Cheney] formally asked that they be declassified now. I haven't announced this up until now, I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country.”

Blog whoring.<

Maybe you have a clue about what you mean by this? I cannot tell. But quoting Vice President Cheney directly should not, IMHO, be associated with "whoring."

Cheney must be grinning broadly as he watches Bambi squirm.

I’m about half way through the Cheney biography “Angler.” I’m not sure if I will bother to finish it. The author spends page after page telling Cheney’s story in a way that he hopes will lead readers to vilify him, while I found myself admiring him more and more as I read. Cheney is a national treasure in my view. I wish he were president or at least still vice president.

The link goes to a blog post that quotes the Drudge article that’s already posted here anyway. Instead of commenting on the Drudge article, he posted the comment on his blog and then posted it as an article here. Hence...blog whoring.

Yeah, but it’s also commented on unlike the Drudge piece. Bloggers have some insight so don’t spit the word out like it’s an evil one.
