After Leaving Office, Dick Cheney Will Finally Get The Chance To Harm His Enemies

by Juli Weiner  3:56 pm January 13, 2009

  • Some states, including some you might actually live in like New York, are trying to introduce an online sales tax to things like iTunes, Amazon, and pornography sites like “XX Factor” etc. [AMERICAblog]
  • Obama will select a Columbia/Harvard pal of his, “Orange” Julius “Caesar” “Salad” Genachowski, to be the new chairman of the FCC. [The Caucus]
  • George Bush is the most popular human of all time in Sudan, Israel, Georgia (the Georgia that did not actually elect him) and some other places. [Daily Beast]
  • Dick Cheney will maybe write a book! One that will settle “a few scores.” What “scores” did he possibly leave unsettled, or alive? [Top of the Ticket]
  • Mitt Romney would still like to be considered for the position of John McCain’s losing Vice President. [CNN Political Ticker]

Maybe Cheney will gloat and hint at where the bodies are buried.

well done young grasshopper. Again.

oh, WTF, Paterson? How many new taxes are we going to get this year? Seriously, the short-sighted fiscal “conservatism” from Schwarzenegger and Paterson (ie, governors of the only two states that matter, economically) is going to do a lot to prolong the recession and counterweigh any stimulus coming from DC. Idiots.

Oh states, with your glaring state’s right issues, only the Federal branch, ie the Congress, can regulate commerce between people in different states. Why do sniveling nobodies in statehouses hate Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution so much?

I suggest all these States work out their issues on a very special episode of Tyra.

I’m not reading Cheney’s book unless there’s at least one chapter on the man-sized safe.

Otto Reimer January 13, 2009 at 4:06 pm

[re=217694]jagorev[/re]: Paterson is more than short-sighted on the issue, he is totally blind to principles of basic economics.

“The Sudanese routinely name their children George Bush”

Sometimes snark writes itself.

Each book will contain a special tracking/monitoring/listening chip. If, while reading, you make any negative comments about Cheney, he will show up at your house, rip your live, bleeing, pulsing heart out of your chest, and eat it. And, kill your family pet.

Why aren’t you live-blogging the hearings. They are fascinating. Hillary Clinton one of the great minds of the century and John Mr. Excitement Kerry.

Monsieur Grumpe January 13, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Cheney: “You rarely get credit for what doesn’t happen.” Ok Dickhead, I’ll give you credit for peace not breaking out all over the world. Good job chicken hawk.

“President & First Lady

George and Laura Bush look back at eight years in the White House. And ahead at the Obama administration. They join Larry King, tonight 9 ET.”

Watch out for those hard ball questions, Dubya.

Mr Blifil January 13, 2009 at 4:13 pm

Sales tax on internet purchases? Then I assume they will be rescinding the tax on my cable bill?

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 4:13 pm

[re=217708]Otto Reimer[/re]: It’s like he wilfully refuses to see the problem with these taxes, even when the proof is right in front of his nose.

“I’m going out with a good heart,” Cheney added. “It’s been a tremendous experience. And I really ought to thank that Britney Spears-lookalike who provided it.”

[re=217712]marioninnyc[/re]: Megan is blogging for Foreign Policy. I gather Vitter is covering himself in diapers.

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 4:29 pm

[re=217763]qwerty42[/re]: Wha? Foreign Policy has an entire blog dedicated just to stalking Hillary Clinton?

I want us to set up something similar for Rahm Emanuel.

[re=217710]Doglessliberal[/re]: “…you make any negative comments about Cheney…”, nay, thoughts alone will render you catatonic for eternity.

ladymacbeth January 13, 2009 at 4:32 pm

joe should maybe get the fuck out of the middle east and do his job back at home:

If confirmed, one of Genachowski’s first challenges at the commission will be what to do about the problems plaguing the conversion to digital television. The Obama transition team has asked Congress to delay the conversion, set for Feb. 17, because millions of viewers have been unable to obtain coupons to pay for converter boxes…

qwerty42 January 13, 2009 at 4:34 pm

[re=217779]jagorev[/re]: you want to receive a dead fish in the mail?

Mr Blifil January 13, 2009 at 4:36 pm

[re=217718]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I wonder if he credits Clinton for “keeping us safe” between the first and second WTC attacks? Oh I forgot, we’re all supposed to pretend the first one didn’t happen, because the bozos who perpetrated it weren’t lucky enough to get away with it.

Min January 13, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Actually, Dick Cheney is going to write a children’s book. I believe that it will be called “Horton Hears a Who, Then Shoots It In the Face”.

Norbert January 13, 2009 at 4:47 pm

Cheney’s leaving office?

TGY January 13, 2009 at 4:48 pm

Dick’s book will come with a shotgun shell and instructions for the reader on how to shoot himself in the face.

Otto Reimer January 13, 2009 at 4:50 pm

[re=217790]qwerty42[/re]: Here’s an old gem with fish/blindess as the hook:

What do you call confusion?

Twenty blind lesbians at the fish market.

Doglessliberal January 13, 2009 at 4:53 pm

[re=217783]bitchincamaro[/re]: right, it will contain a brain scanner, too.

Lord BEEF January 13, 2009 at 5:02 pm

I’m not sure his nickname is actually “Salad” but what do I know

problemwithcaring January 13, 2009 at 5:25 pm

I think its amazing people outside of LA and without an AOL connection still read Top of the Ticket. Really. LA Times’ blogs are some of the worst things ever conceived.

blinky_twinkie January 13, 2009 at 5:33 pm

If Cheney writes a book, will he go on “The Daily Show” to pimp it?

Der Gletscher January 13, 2009 at 7:50 pm

I don’t know for sure but I have the strong feeling that his book will be called “Santans Bible” and have Satans sinature in it “a.k.a. Cheney”. Just a strong feeling ;)

TGY January 13, 2009 at 8:58 pm

Also, So! No more…uh..Mr. Niceguy, eh Dick?
