The Dick Cheney Dossier...
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 19 Nov 2018 | Tatiana Siegel

Full title: The Dick Cheney Dossier: Inside Adam McKay’s Searing Exposé of D.C.'s "Ultimate Gamesman" in 'Vice'

It's the eve of the midterm elections, and Adam McKay is feeling optimistic about the Democrats' prospects of taking back the house.

Still, the SNL writer turned Oscar-winning filmmaker insists he is not throwing a results-viewing party with his Hollywood friends, even as I spot an assistant carrying supplies from Whole Foods into his West Hollywood offices. Instead, McKay, looking like a college professor with a corduroy jacket and scarf, says he is planning to hang out at his house with his wife, director Shira Piven (Jeremy's sister), their two daughters and his mother-in-law, and together they will "very calmly and somberly watch the results," he says.

"I will not make the mistake I made in 2016, when we had a party in New York while we were in the midst of preproduction on Succession," says McKay, referencing the HBO breakout about a ruthless media family dynasty (that looks a lot like the Murdoch clan). "I was 100 percent Bernie Sanders, but once Sanders didn't win, I was like, 'All right. Let's all be grown-ups. I now support Hillary Clinton.' And once she was running against Trump, it was the easiest choice you'd ever have to make. I was very excited because I have two daughters, and we were going to have a woman president. And I just thought, 'That's awesome!'"

That’s for certain. I don’t see how anyone can defend them.

Sorry, but what the Bushies did does not compare to what ObaMao did in terms of running up the deficit.

And the financial storm for THAT hasn’t hit yet.

Note he didn't decide to be an adult after Hitlery Rotten Clinton lost her rigged election.

Can’t wait. Definitely going to see. I loved Cheney and Rumsfeld and Bush II.

Yes, Obama’s debt was even higher. But the Bush-Cheney deficits and debt were the highest in US before Obama

Are you saying that the fact Obama-Biden were bad makes Bush-Cheney good? The truth is, one was bad, the other even more so.

To put it differently, the fact that Obama-Biden was a disaster doesn’t require me to falsely claim that Bush-Cheney was a success.

I don’t get your logic. Yes, Obama-Biden was bad. But how does that make George Bush’s and Cheneys administration a success? Simple because they weren’t as bad as Obama? By that “reasoning”, Jimmy Carter was also a “success”, because Obama was worse.

Conservatives are supposed to be about accountability. I see precious little of that when Freepers rush to defend the Bush-Cheney administration.
