Slimy Dick Cheney, the Ur "chickenhawk", now armed with a new heart but still handicapped by a sclerotic brain, shriveled soul, and the moral compass of a sewer rat, says that President Obama has been an "unmitigated disaster to the country."
Well, if there's anything the Dark Lord Cheney has a working knowledge of, it is unmitigated disasters. He has been neck deep in so many of them:
Iraq war anyone? Well, at least Halliburton and Blackwater made out well. It would have been easier and cheaper to just give them the keys to the Treasury.
Energy policy created by oil companies? Sure, why not? We all know Global warming is a liberal conspiracy. Drill baby, drill!
US security leading up to September 11th? Sorry, more important matters to attend to. Gotta cut taxes on millionaires and billionaires.
If you go back far enough, you can even find Cheney cheer leading for Iran Contra. Killing innocent poor people for fun and profit is apparently his raison d'etre. Oh, not in person of course. Wouldn't want to get his hands dirty.
The child is father to the man as they say. As a young man, Cheney wasn't against the Viet Nam war--he was only against serving in the war. "Other priorities" is the phrase he used to justify his many student deferments.
To be clear, Dick Cheney is a war criminal. I don't believe in torture, but in his case I'd be willing to make an exception.
At this point, after such a distinguished career in public life, the most patriotic thing Dick Cheney could do would be to just shut up and hang himself.

A Pair To Draw To
Some jokes write themselves.
Sarah Palin and Donald Trump?
The two reigning giants of unwarranted celebrity got together the other day to share a slice and no doubt commiserate about the state of the union.
Unfortunately, just like Simple W. and the Dark Lord Cheney's 9-11 Commission testimony, no transcript survives, but one can only imagine the intellectual fireworks that took place when the great minds went mano a mano. "Not since Jefferson dined alone," as JFK remarked in a slightly different context...
The down home gal who can see Russia from her house and the big city man who can't help but slap his name--and 5 pounds of gold leaf--on every brick he finds, share at least one strong conviction: it's all Obama's fault.
"Sarah and Don: Forever And Always." I smell a reality show!
Or at the very least a Saturday Night Live sketch.

They're hicks, Rita
Arizona lags behind in so many areas: education, health care, the arts, public transportation, job creation. The list just goes on and on...So it's good to know we can still brag of being if not the craziest state, certainly amongst them. The latest evidence of this is our "birther bill".
For those of you who are just visiting here and not acquainted with our ways, "birthers" are people who continue to insist that Barack Obama pulled a fast one and is not in fact a native born American, and therefore cannot legally hold the office of President of the United States. They are the spiritual descendants of flatearthers and nothing will change their opinion. Definitely not facts. Thank God they've found a state legislature that will finally stand up for them!
As Representative Judy Burges, R-Skull Valley said (and I promise you I am not making this up) "It's essential that we bring back the integrity to the office." Her concerns begin to make sense when you remember that a skull is a head without a brain. So Skull Valley could just as easily be called Brainless Valley. Also consider that 8 years of Simple W. and the Dark Lord Cheney's debaucheries, including their various assaults on the Constitution and their murderous lies and criminal distortions apparently didn't concern dear Judy even a teeny little bit. Well, it's a free country and I suppose we're all entitled to have our own ideas about what does and doesn't constitute integrity.
PS This just in: Jan Brewer, who is currently appearing in the role of "Governor of Arizona", vetoed the "birther bill" shortly after I finished my post. That loud anguished wailing you hear is her base. My guess is that, once again, the state's monied interests got to her and said, "stop this nonsense before you kill off what's left of our tourism and convention business. Remember, we're trying to rebuild the state--not destroy it." But whatever her motivation, you can bet that the hillbillies aren't going to be happy.
