Dick on Defense

Remember Dick Cheney, that Frankenstein monster who just seems to keep coming back even if we unplug him from his evil machine? Well, in one of the most absurdly ironic political moments in, well, the last week or so, Cheney claims that Obama has chosen second-rate people to lead our national defense. And he should know, of course, given that he was the man behind a third- or should we just say x-rated group of buffoons (aka Chicken Hawks) that got us mired in Iraq, didn't capture Osama bin Laden, trampled all over the constitution and contributed greatly to our current debt troubles. And lest us forget, this is the de facto leader of an administration that ignored threats of an impending attack in September 2001, instead arguing for a reduction in counter-terrorism spending. It's the same gang that focused the majority of our war on terror on taking out a leader who had nothing to do with terrorism and won a miracle second term for one of the worst Presidents in our history by trampling the war record of a real hero (as opposed to the guy who didn't even show up for his cushy duty during Vietnam). Of course, if people are listening to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, then Cheney actually sounds almost rational, and maybe even a little human. Well, let's not go that far ...
