A Broken Cheney of Command

On Tuesday, former Vice-President Dick Cheney, along with his charming daughter Liz, wrote an editorial in the Washington Post.  What they said was --

"                                                                                          "

That's basically the substance.  I'm pretty sure you can fill in the blanks.  Hint:  he was critical of President Obama.  And his criticisms were based on an almost breathtakingly bizarre lack of self-reflection.  It's like he remembered all the criticisms of his Administration with George Bush and forgot who they were actually addressed to, so he figured they must be about Mr. Obama instead.

No, really, truly bizarre in its relentless and spot-on repetitions of criticisms of Bush-Cheney.  For example, things like --

"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."  This from an Administration that who insisted there were Weapons of Mass Destruction, that we'd be greeted as liberators, and that the war would be over in weeks.  And a president whose 16 word lie about non-existent yellowcake push the nation into war, at the expense of 4,400 Americans killed and $2.2 trillion spent.  Not to mention ignoring a Presidential Daily Briefing, "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."

Accusations "of empty misleading rhetoric."  This This from an Administration that who insisted there were Weapons of Mass Destruction, that we'd be greeted as liberators, and that the war would be over in weeks.  And a president whose 16 word lie about non-existent yellowcake push the nation into war, at the expense of 4,400 Americans killed and $2.2 trillion spent.  

And almost most strange of all, criticizing the president for ignoring terrorists, while in the meantime, "and he goes golfing."  No, honestly, Mr. Cheney said that!  Blissfully ignoring the famous footage of President Bush -- well, no, words can't do it justice.
