The joke that is Dick Cheney
Let’s see. It was perfectly okay for the Bush administration to try terrorists in civilian courts. But now, it isn’t. Now it’s the rallying cry of frightened weaklings. What changed? It’s only too obvious.
Here we have Mr. Cheney, who for eight long years disgraced the office of vice president in every possible way when he held it, accusing the sitting president of treason. It would be funny, if it weren’t so odious. What Cheney is really afraid of, in bringing the terrorists to NY for open trial, isn’t that we will give them a platform for their cause. Rather, it’s that we might give them a platform from which they can expose all the ugly secrets of his torture regime. Crawl back under your rock, Mr. Cheney. The world is blessed by your departure from the White House.
Personally, I’m not particularly enthralled with Mr. Obama, or with the spineless majority. But when I look at the spokespeople of the Republican Party and see the likes of Cheney and daughter and Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann and Carrie Prejeans and Virginia Foxx and Michael Steele, spinelessness actually begins to seem like a virtue.
