That anyone listens to people like Cheney is pretty amazing considering the trail of American bodies behind him.

Failed former vice president Dick Cheney, torture advocate and co-architect of a foreign and military policy that killed thousands of Americans, again tries to lecture President Obama on how to his job. Cheney began his remarks with praise for Donald Rumsfeld, which should tell you right off the bat that the remarks of this most [...]

Spinonymous Sources @ WaPo Agree: Dick Cheney Brand Torture Is The Best

Glenn Greenwald on the ridiculous pro-torture story the Washington Post is pushing now.
Who are the Post’s sources for this full-scale vindication of Dick Cheney’s defense of torture? “Two sources who described the sessions, speaking on the condition of anonymity because much information about detainee confinement remains classified”; “one former senior intelligence official said this [...]
CIA Documents Rebut Cheney Assertions

I am totally surprised that worst vice president in U.S. history turned out to be full of it. Again.
Strikingly, they provide little evidence for Cheney’s claims that the ‘enhanced interrogation’ program run by the CIA provided valuable information. In fact, throughout both documents, many passages — though several are incomplete and circumstantial, actually suggest the [...]
File Under “D” For “Duh”

Sometimes it feels like the House Democrats are the only ones in Washington who remember the last eight years and what those people did to America.
House Democrats said yesterday that they expect to launch a formal investigation into a secret CIA program that was not disclosed to Congress for almost eight years, a probe that [...]
Hey, Dick Cheney’s A Crook

But you knew that already.
The Central Intelligence Agency withheld information about a secret counterterrorism program from Congress for eight years on direct orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the agency’s director, Leon E. Panetta, has told the Senate and House intelligence committees, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Saturday.
The report that [...]

Joe Scoldborough wanted Ed Schultz to fold when asked if he thought Cheney wants a terror attack to prove his point politically. Thankfully Ed told the truth. Cheney wants that, and his public record makes it pretty clear. (via)
McCain Says Cheney’s Supporting The Spanish Inquisition

I clearly don’t agree with John McCain on practically every issue under the sun, but I’ll say that he’s been pretty consistent in his opposition to torture and in light of Cheney’s torture defense speech today — McCain remains so. And of course it’s worth noting that in this entire debate, Sen. McCain is one [...]

Cheney Torture Authorization/Suggestion For Iraq-Al Qaeda “Link”?
May 14th, 2009
15 Comments
We know for sure that Dick Cheney and his crew were obsessed with proving some sort of link between Iraq and Al Qaeda. That was their golden key to provoking the nation into war. But there now seems to be some evidence that Cheney pushed for torture in order to prove this – and not, [...]
The Republicans Have A Dick Problem

Cheney, that is. Bwahahaha!
Another GOP strategist, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, pointed out the conundrum for Republicans over the former vice president’s current role. “Even if he’s right, he’s absolutely the wrong messenger,” this strategist said. His main worry, he added, is that Cheney keeps the public focused on the past, rather [...]
Dick Cheney, Secret Democrat?
May 13th, 2009

That’s the only possible explanation for why Cheney is now inserting himself in the debate over Employee Free Choice. Dick Cheney is not a popular person. He’s one of the few vice presidents to be less popular than the president he served with. And yet, he has a higher profile now than he has had [...]
Dick Cheney And I Agree!

He urges the Republican party not to moderate. I concur. I further urge the GOP to keep taking political advice from Dick Cheney. Because we all know the kind of widespread support Dick Cheney has with the American people.
Clinton Slaps Cheney

The ABC News headline to this story is a little misleading. It says that Sec. Clinton “questions” Dick Cheney’s credibility. There isn’t any question in Sec. Clinton’s words what she feels about Cheney’s credibility. She, like the vast majority of Americans, knows he has none.
“Are you in favor of releasing the documents that Dick Cheney [...]

More Dick Cheney please, the last ones were delicious.
Cheney’s decision to serve as the self-appointed defender of the Bush presidency has significantly raised his profile in the first 100 days of the Obama administration and presents a real challenge for a party hoping to put forward new faces and fresh ideas.
“He is a face of [...]

I’m really not interested in the merits or demerits of this non-story* about Joe Biden and what he did or didn’t say to George W. Bush (I’m inclined to believe Biden, but whatever) but this quote from Karl Rove is hilarious:
“You should not exaggerate and lie like this when you are the Vice President of [...]

It’s like their policies killed thousands of people and destroyed the global economy or something.
A new Gallup poll tests how former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney have fared in public opinion since they left office. The answer: Badly.
Bush’s favorable rating is only 35%, with 63% unfavorable. Cheney is at 30% [...]

Dick Cheney’s infamous unpopularity could cause the GOP’s numbers to crater even worse.
Congressional Republicans are telling Dick Cheney to go back to his undisclosed location and leave them alone to rebuild the Republican Party without his input.
Displeased with the former vice-president’s recent media appearances, Republican lawmakers say he’s hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after [...]

Woot.
“How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney?” Mr. Obama said Friday in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on “60 Minutes” on CBS.
The president was responding to recent charges by Mr. Cheney that the administration’s decision to shut down the Guantánamo prison, [...]
