Northern Virginia Congressman Jim Moran (D-VA, 8th District) reportedly called Vice President Cheney an "ass-kisser," adding that President Bush doesn't read books, only reads the sports section of the newspaper and surrounds himself with people who just tell him what he wants to hear.

Moran told the editor of the left-leaning website The Raw Story that Bush has "surrounded himself with ideological sycophants. And the biggest ass-kisser of all is Dick Cheney."

Contacted by phone by 630 WMAL this morning, Moran did not deny making the remarks. Rather, he said the quotes were "taken out of context." Moran declined to elaborate or answer questions about the interview on the air.

Jim Moran, like so many Democrats, is obnoxious and hateful.

I'm sure Cheney would love to throw some f-bombs his way.

The Democrats seem big on profanity these days. They seem to have a bad case of anal obsession.

So what about "A**kisser " can be taken out of context?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

He's a Democrat so that's okay.

More heart and soul of America there...

Snort.

Sounds like one of yours escaped. Please order the Paddy Wagon!

[Redcloak]

What a moron. It's "Ass kicker". But then again, what would you expect from someone who finds school children threatening.

[Spyder]

How can he be an a$$-kisser if he's the puppetmaster? ;-)

[mhking]

I'm not surprised.

I actually got a Democratic fundraising letter in the mail today from Nancy "Cruella DeVil" Pelosi, where she flat out calls the President a liar.

[RedEyeJack]

Actually Jim has a history of hitting the sauce and running his mouth... looks like deja vous all over again

Good point. I thought Cheney was the one running things, at least that's what the liberal MSM types say.

[Dont Mention the War]

Wait a minute. I thought Cheney was the guy actually running the show! Now suddenly he's Bush's puppet? Which is it, RATS?

[MisterRepublican]

Good to see Jim Moron is helping to return civility to politics and change the tone in Washington.

Don't confuse a good global conspiracy theory with logic. You don't want people to start thinking for themselves.

"The Democrats seem big on profanity these days. They seem to have a bad case of anal obsession."

It is all stages of growth. The Clinton years were the oral obsession years, now they have moved on. I am not sure what stage is next, but coming from the Democrats it can't be good.

[TheBigB]

"The quotes were taken out of context" = "Dammit, I've said so many stupid things in the past that I didn't even think anyone was LISTENING to me!"

[Richard Axtell]

Cheney should deny every having kissed Moron, er... Moran.

Jim Moran (D-VA, 8th District)

Yet another prime example that the best and brightest the USA has to offer are NOT represented in the US Congress!

[silverleaf]

Not to mention anti-semitic.
Remember that this is the same congressman who hinted that Jews were manipulating the US into going to war in Iraq. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the "Talbot's set" in Alexandria has such a blind spot about reelecting this bitter angry prejudiced little man.
