AWAKEN, O AMERICA, YOUR LIBERTY IS CALLING

Leave it to Dick Cheney to teach Tareq Salahi a thing or two about how to crash a big event.
On the eve of Barack Obama's most important address as president, Cheney managed to (temporarily) grab the spotlight when he told Politico that the commander in chief was weak and letting politics affect his military decisions....
Just why the ex-VP keeps popping off remains full-time fodder for the media, but Cheney's looking more partisan with each headline that he makes. James Fallows is spot on when he notes the contrast with President George W. Bush, who has "maintained a dignified distance from public controversies and let the new team have its chance...."
I wonder how many of his former supporters would agree. The anger on the right seems deeper than anything expressed during the Clinton era. The timing was accidental but the former vice president's latest outburst coincided with a remarkable cri de coeur by Charles Johnson, the creator of the once conservative blog Little Green Footballs why he's parting with the right wing. Of course, when Johnson wrote that "the American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff," he had no way of knowing that Cheney was about to put his pacemaker into overdrive and let loose with another of the periodic salvos he's fired at the Obama administration since leaving the White House.
Johnson had to know he was going to spark a firestorm by breaching the right's narrative of the history of the last eight years. Conservatives, who are quick to complain about political correctness, turn out to be remarkably PC when it comes to their own sacred cows....

I don't know about the other two, but I know Charles Johnson was a catcher for the Florida Marlins in the late 90's
Al Gore and Carter were hardly egg heads. They were average students at best.
What is more important is that they have both disgraced and betrayed their Country on more than one occasion for personal gain.
REAL American Patriots who love our country and the principles upon which it was founded are speaking out about the socialist gang of thugs in the White House!
In my book anyone who stands by quietly and lets America slowly slip away are just as treasonous as Zero.
OK a liberal writer at a liberal website, CBS.com, criticizes Cheney. This isn’t news!
Why are you calling everybody’s attention to it.
Why aren’t you reading newspapers, blogs and websites that praise Cheney and posting those so that we all will know the facts and the truth rather than Cooper’s netherworld.
Is it that you would rather hate liberals than like conservatives?
Please explain this mentality because I don’t understand why my newspaper, which wrote pro-Bush, pro-military, pro-law enforcement, pro-conservative, pro-Palin, pro-average working class American articles in an intelligent entertaining way rarely was posted to FR.
Yet I’ll read all sorts of garbage from the NY Times, WaPost, LA Times, et al and from people like Cooper, Hershberg, Krugman and the rest posted here.
It is not because you think it’s important to know what the opposition is thinking. Because we already know that. What we seem to lack is what our side is thinking. Because most conservatives I hear talking to liberals in cafe’s, bars, restaurants, at parties etc cannot clearly defend the lies from the left.
I don’t mean to sound hostile. My regrets if I do. I’m just completely befuddled by an attitude which prefers to be outraged by leftist propaganda then informed by conservative newspapers.
To you they were “average students”, to me Jimmy Carter and Algore are both menaces to capitalism, freedom and democracy.
You are ignorant of the process and the events under way. There are two very strong surrogates, designated hitters if you will, Carl Rove and Dick Cheney.
All know that bashers will be critical of anything W says. A better course is for the surrogates to present the message. They are delivering the goods on a constant and timely basis in spite of naysayers who have a narrow view that excludes reality.
When the brain trust speaks, people listen. Cheney is the man.
LLS
the bashing it continues un abated and igornance is bliss
Sadly, George Bush was a creation of Karl Rove, and despite the opportunity given him by 9/11 he was never able to match Cheney’s political acumen or intellectual stature. The same holds true for John McCain. Sarah Palin could do no better than to ask Cheney to serve as head of her brain trust.
I don’t see what this has to do with Tiger Woods...
So now he is catching Little Green Footballs? Sounds like a demented New York Jet Fan to me!
Or perhaps Mayor Bloomberg playing Snoopy on his private Jet!
Just why the ex-VP keeps popping off remains full-time fodder for the media,
The ex-democrat presidents/vice-presidents have made this a routine happening. (clinton, carter, gore etc.)
Why is the media so concerned about Cheney?
Except for this.
If the POTUS was not overwhelmed lately with the War on Terror (AH, excuse me, the Inconvenient Overseas Contingency)continuing to pose as the Commander in Chief, he would undoubtedly have some less than complimentary comment to make about the Florida Police.
Because they don't know how to deal with him or Rove IMHO.

*golf clap*
Lots of people disagree with BO, Charles Cooper. Get used to it.
