Globe Suggests VP Cheney Welcomes US Deaths in Iraq

Bill Maher accused Vice-President Cheney of being responsible for people "dying needlessly." In its own way, today's Boston Globe editorial cartoon takes that calumny one step further, suggesting that the vice-president flatly welcomes as many American deaths in Iraq as possible as a sign of national strength.

When it comes to portraying the image of the Vice-President, the Dan Wasserman effort is also remarkable for its sheer malice.

Globe-outhates-Maher ping to Today show list.

So maybe the liberals and Clinton administrations should be held responsible for the Twin Towers and other terrorism.

[traderrob6]

It doesn't make any sense.

Gee thanks Michelle Malkin for single handedly disarming our strongest asset against the PC goons.

Don't suppose this drama queen will have any comments on the above, when its so much fun (and much more profitable) playing mean girls with AC.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

It really doesn't. Incredible that this kind of junk is considered worthy of the editorial pages of one of America's "leading" papers.

Wait, wait!
I didn't get the memo!

So the libbies new chant is "IT'S ALL CHENEY'S FAULT!!"???

President Bush must be sooooooo upset. /sarc

Wasserman is typical of the Boston Globe's staff: a limp-wristed little "Edwards" who hides behind his poison pen.

[jrestrepo]

So Colter implies that Edwards is so feminine that he might be a "faggot" and the press is in lock lock step, but maher and others say that Cheney should be killed and there are no issues?

[jrestrepo]

Sadly, when dealing with barbarians (islam) the cartoon is right. The libs still think you can negotiate with them...{sigh}

Michelle didn't disarm Ann. Ann did it all by herself by putting her vanity and craving for attention ahead of the cause. Michelle's reaction was the same as anybody with half a brain. Ann did something extremely stupid. Michelle was correct not to jump into the abyss with her. Besides Michelle is way hotter.

[Txsleuth]

Considering the blood clot they found in Cheney's leg today...both Maher and the Globe could have had their wish.

Irony bump.

Where was Michelle Malkin's reaction when Ann Coulter called Al Gore a f before a national tv audience on Hardball?

CPAC, as she mewlingly describes as a forum 'suitable for children', is used as a straw man in Malkin's blatant attack on AC her conservative rival Ann Coulter.

How convenient she picked this venue to attack Coulter, while hiding behind the lefty morality police while she lobs her sanctimonious brickbats.

I support Ann, I still do. However, Michelle was not talking about the remark so much as she was the word faggot when there were many children present. If Ann had made this remark in print, or at a gathering with no children, I do not think Michelle would have objected to it. At least I hope not. As far as the remark goes, I see nothing wrong with it, and understand its real purpose which was to lampoon the PC of the left.

As for Rudy and the boys critizing Ann, I think they merely want to jump on the PC bandwagon and show the MSM they are really liberals at heart(which they are).

[jellybean]

I don't think Michelle looks good in green.

Ann is often accused of saying outrageous things to draw attention to herself. I'll make the same clain about Michelle: She used an attack on AC to bring more attention to her blog. Perhaps a little jealousy on her (MM) part that Ann was getting all the attention.

[pillut48]

D'oh, Ann Coulter attacked Breckie's *personality*, which hurted his widdle feelings. Maher and DU attacked Cheney's
*physical* self--totally okay by their warped PC standards!

"Gee thanks Michelle Malkin for single handedly disarming our strongest asset against the PC goons."

I'm late to the party, but you are right. I NEVER expected that response from Michelle. Ever. She was so, "Get OUT of my Sandbox, Beotch!" Not a pretty sight.

I've always been one of those "girls" who prefers to play with The Big Guns. Get me to the Front and get me to the Firepower and let me do my job!

I hate cat fights and have only participated in two in my entire life. One in Junior High and one in Army Basic Training, LOL!

Cat fights are unproductive, and just make Real Women look like pikers.

Thanks, Michelle. Not.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Did Ann's comments give Edwards any "spike" in the polls? Isn't he STILL behind in the polls for 'Dog Catcher' in the Calavares County race? ;)
