Dick Cheney Lies In New Book

11:14 am EST August 30th, 2011 | Conservative, Republicans | 57 Comments

The whole point of a Dick Cheney book is to lie about what happened so that the future misremembers its history and looks on the worst vice president in US history in a kinder light.

Dick Cheney + Sponge Bath: Unsee This

3:23 pm EST January 4th, 2011 | Republicans | 47 Comments

RoboCop

Too much information.

Mr. Cheney’s pump was placed near his heart. With most patients, a power line emerges about waist level and connects to a controller, a minicomputer that plugs into a pair of one-and-a-half-pound, 12-volt batteries. Patients wear a black mesh vest over their clothing that holds the controller and batteries. They usually cannot shower and have to be satisfied with sponge baths.

Also:

Mr. Cheney, who has participated in some of the nation’s toughest decisions for decades, now faces a crucial one of his own: whether to seek a full heart transplant.

It is a decision he will most likely be forced to make within months. He is old enough that soon he will no longer qualify for a transplant, doctors say. And while it is possible for some patients with Mr. Cheney’s device to live for years, the long-term prospects remain unknown.

Dick Cheney To Be Charged In Nigerian Bribery Case For Halliburton Work

9:10 am EST December 2nd, 2010 | Republicans | 22 Comments

Doubt we’ll see much come out of this, but it reinforces the known truth that Cheney is as corrupt as they come.

Nigerian authorities plan to charge ex-US vice president Dick Cheney in connection with a bribery scandal allegedly involving energy firm Halliburton, a spokesman for the anti-graft agency said Thursday.

Asked whether Cheney would be charged over the investigation, Femi Babafemi said, “it’s true … definitely.”

The spokesman could not give details on the charges that he says are likely to be filed next week, but said “they are not unconnected to his role as the chief executive of Halliburton.”

Liz Cheney’s New McCarthyism

2:48 am EST March 7th, 2010 | Conservative | 19 Comments

A must-read piece explaining how the conservative media infects our discourse. And it’s worth noting that Powerline, yes THAT Powerine, took the moral high ground over the supposedly liberal CNN when it came to discussing this story.

As Cheney Rears His Head

1:38 am EST October 22nd, 2009 | News | 1 Comment

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 filthiest of “humans” should be ignored.

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

9:58 pm EST August 29th, 2009 | News | 46 Comments

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 week after being asked about the effect of waterboarding”; “one former U.S. official with detailed knowledge of how the interrogations were carried out said”; “One former agency official.” It’s unclear how much overlap there is in that orgy of pro-Cheney anonymity, but there is not a single on-the-record source to corroborate the Torture-Saved-Us-From-Mass-Death narrative, nor is there even a shred of information about the motives or views of these “officials.”

CIA Documents Rebut Cheney Assertions

4:31 pm EST August 25th, 2009 | News | 67 Comments

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 opposite of Cheney’s contention: that non-abusive techniques actually helped elicit some of the most important information the documents cite in defending the value of the CIA’s interrogations.
