The Adventures of Dick and Turdblossom

In his interview with John King, former Vice President Dick Cheney said of President Obama's national security policy, "He's making some choices that in my mind, will in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack."

The hubris of these people is nothing short of incredible. And the fact that anyone would believe anything that comes out of the former Bush Administration's mouth boggles my mind.

Noting that the former V.P. no longer gets daily intelligence briefings, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show espoused the frustration that many of us feel.

“The guy’s vice president for eight years, you barely see a whiff of him. He lives in some subterranean lair, literally has his house removed from Google Earth,” Stewart said. “Then when he’s no longer accountable to the American people he’s popping up everywhere. I can’t get him off my TV. He’s like the Mario Lopez of doom now.”

The main stream media is still the same. Not doing their job and not asking the right questions. And I know why. Because they had failed to do their job for years. Because they failed to watch and report. Because they failed in their lack of diligence to report what most of us out here knew.

To give these criminals a venue for their continued lies says everything about the corporate media. They are simply caricatures of journalists while a satirical news program that comes on after a show about foul mouthed 4th graders, is left to do the real reporting.

G.W. Bush's former political strategist Karl Rove, dubbed Turdblossom by the 43rd president, is also starting to feel the heat at no longer being protected by cronies in the justice department. 

“What the Obama administration has done in the last several days is very dangerous,” Rove said. “What they've essentially said is if we have policy disagreements with our predecessors... we're going to turn ourselves into the moral equivalent of a Latin American country run by colonels in mirrored sunglasses and what we're gonna do is prosecute systematically the previous administration, or threaten prosecutions against the previous administration, based on policy differences. Is that what we've come to in this country?”

Yes, it is. When your policies are illegal, this is what we come to.

Rove then went on a diatribe comparing Obama to a Latin America dictator, adding, “It may be the way that they do things in Chicago, but that's not the way we do things here in America.”

That's right, Karl. Here in America we out undercover agents whose husbands endanger our desire to go to war. God forbid we investigate and possibly prosecute officials who may have broken laws.

Karl Rove and Dick Cheney think that "good" and "evil" and "democracy" and "truth" and "compassion" and "torture" are, like all other words, mere sounds you make in order to get people to do what you want. Bush himself remains too stupid to think anything of consequence as he has always lived in a world of unquestioned family and class privilege.

Rove and Cheney, along with the ex-president in hiding, all know they are guilty, and we will see them and their media enablers become increasingly desperate as the hour of judgment approaches. This was their greatest fear and I think they really thought they were going to get away with it. Hell, so did I.

Since the congressional GOP has shown they aren't going to behave reasonably, Obama should not waste time soliciting their support anymore. It's time to do what must be done to restore the trampled honor of this nation.
