Wonkette
Joe Biden, who… as… everyone… is… well aware…??… has been in Eastern Europe for a long time, continues to be amazing: “Mr. Biden shrugged off Mr. Cheney’s point that the old administration left behind a review of Afghanistan. ‘Who cares what —’ he said, and then stopped himself to find another way to put it. (’I can see the headline now,’ said the famously free-wheeling vice president. ‘I’m getting better, guys.’)” The electric dog collar must have gone off. It would have been VERY CONTROVERSIAL for Joe Biden to say, “Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks?” Very Agnewian and enemy-marginalizing, as this week’s news would have it. [NYT]
When asked to respond to Cheney’s incoherent rant, Biden wanted to break out in song: “Hail, hail the gangs all here. What the fuck do we care? What the fuck do we care? Hail, Hail the gangs all here.”
But, he thought better of it.
He rephrased it to, “That guy’s still alive?”
He continued, “Who cares what Cheney says? We won’t know until we bring him to a secret prison in Eastern Europe and apply enhanced interrogation techniques, doing to him what his daughter assures us is not torture.”
“Mr. Biden Shrugs Off Dick’s Point”
That’s good enough, isn’t it?
…and before he finishes saying it, Biden changes his mind and decides to soften it to “Dick Cheney should go fuck himself”.
So?
New Caption for photos- “Meg McCains jabalies are thiiiiis big.”
Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks? I’ll tell ya who, the same people who believe Saddam did 9/11 riding a dinosaur 6000 years ago when the world began in the garden of Eden with Jesus, Reagan, & Churchill dancing the Charleston.
WestEdEd: You lie! You used the plural when clearly the singular was appropriate.
AbstinenceOnly Ed: I’m pretty sure there’s a painting of that beautiful, historical moment.
Glad to hear that Joe is learning how to censor himself — now he’s just gotta learn which topics that shouldn’t apply to.
I’m sure it was going to be something like, “Who the fuck cares what that puppy-torturing Nero wannabe thinks about anything? He’s just lucky not to be spending his time in a triple-secure cell in the Hague being thankful that the International Criminal Court doesn’t give out the death penalty. Anyone who thinks that pasty glowering ghoul has any credibility whatsoever should come to my house and spend an evening helping me scrape the entrails off the basement ceiling. Be sure to bring an extra respirator, because the smell of piss and blood is so strong you’ll go through a whole filter in about an hour. Fortunately you can barely smell it on the third floor, what with the Febreze dispenser going full blast and the windows open all the time. Not looking forward to this winter, though.”
cheney needs a robot-juice transfusion, obv. Or more babies on which to feed.
Sweet Baby Cheeses: Jon McNaughton’s been busy, eh?
SayItWithWookies: That quote appears in the Le Monde story on Biden…
When talking about the evilness that is Darth Cheney, I say “Let Joe be Joe” and the hell with the it.
Who doesn’t give a fuck what that useless motherfucker Cheney thinks?
I’m actually cheering what Joe Biden almost said.
I haz a sad.
Joe Biden: The graceful East European ox.
user-of-owls: I wish! Or maybe the artist who created the Cthulu/hellfire DC version of the McNaughton painting.
user-of-owls: King Cheney…
user-of-owls: The Rat
SayItWithWookies: Win.
I hope he’s giving Barry and the Cabinet the uncensored version.
I seriously hope Joe at least got a priest in to bless the house after. Were I advising him, I would have suggested running an exorcist through under that cover.
Sigh. I lub u, Unca Joe.
Agnewian
jeje.
Our liberal MSM never asked the obvious question, of course.
” If you had a fuckin’ idea, why didn’t you act on it in the last seven years?”
Cheny:” I wrote it down and put it on Obamas desk.”
“Smooth, Dick.”
SayItWithWookies: WIN.
I hope that Barry and the Cabinet get the uncensored version.
(I also hope that Joe at least got a priest in to bless the house. If he’d asked me, I’d have said to call the Archbishop to request an exorcist and use the house-blessing as cover.)
Oh crap, I posted twice. I will hang my head in shame.
Free Joe Biden!
He’s so much more awesome unmuzzled. Why not let him be the attack dog like Cheney was?
BerkeleyFarm: Oh crap, I hung my head in shame.
SayItWithWookies: As an innkeeper who sometimes has to help with the maid work, I nominate you for Housekeeping Comment of the Day.
Your description of Biden’s basement comes close to the horror of the big apartment suite I’m helping clean today.
So Messy!
assistant/atlas: Have you ever seen a Bassett Hound patrolling a gulag?
Joe should have just said “So”
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23732314#23732314
assistant/atlas: “Free Joe Biden!” I agree. Give him his own show on FOX and tell him to go for it.
Oh Uncle Joe,
Could you tell me what you know?
Better alt-txt:
“No, srsly that kid was hung like THIS! Oh, wait, is this mic live?”
“Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks?”
Fred Hiatt and Marcus Brauchli, that’s who. Dirtbags.

Joe would make a great Wonkette commentator. If he isn’t here already. I know I would be very lonely in Eastern Europe, and nothing would warm my heart like a bunch of pissed-off,foul-mouthed liberals like we have here. I love you guys!
Since Dick Cheney is famous for aggressively and audibly not giving a fuck what anyone thinks, I’m not sure why Joe felt the need to leash himself on this one. I’ll say it for ya Joe: Who gives a flying fucking rat’s ass about what Dick Cheney thinks?
just HAD to…

And there’s Uncle Joe, he’s a-movin’ kinda slow at the junction: petty-talk junction. [cue train whistle]
Me lubs me some VP Joe.
Great Old Ones Party: but see!?
it has blue eyes!
TOTALLY not racist.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
In other news, Lady Pegetha de Noonington says, “It’s His Rubble Now And the American people want him to fix it.” At first I thought that she was speaking of ex-president Darth Cheney.
Her rambling, drug-addled, delphic discourse has a mere 18 references to the discrete lap dance that Noonester gave Ronald Reagan before the goddam, possessive, stone-cold bitch Nancy interrupted their sweet, sweet love in the Oval Office. That makes it readable.

So how about those high speed trains Joe.
Yeah, and who was it who went to Georgia when the Russian tanks were rolling in? He-man Dickhead Cheney?
In his younger days, with all four valves firing in that cold heart of his, Dick would have gladly ridden a hydrogen bomb to its target in the USSR.
Now, he’s just a grumpy old man, thinking back on what could have been.
Paul Tardy:
“Speed trains.” Speed. Meth. Meth labs. Wasilla’s economic cornerstone. Freemarket. Ameros. Black helicopters. Maoists. Death Panels. Herpes. Ron Paul.
Too obvious if you think about it.
Thanks.
SayItWithWookies: More.
user-of-owls: On Wonkette, ’shame’ is just another five-letter word for nothing left to lose.
The electric dog collar must have gone off.
They tried the same thing on Cheney.
But they installed it on his heart.
They thought they could control him.
But, he just fed off of it.
He fed off of it!!!
Lionel Hutz Esq.:
“But they installed it on his heart.”
Which came from one of them Make-a-Wish kids. Waste not, want not.
Dick Didn’t Dither.
Dubya Didn’t Dither.
D’Obama did.
BTW if it is Obama’s rubble, why can’t he just drop off the keys with the Chinese and leave town like a real American? The Chinese can then sell it at auction. Sure the copper pipes and wire has been stripped but that just makes it affordable.
Damnned right, say it.
“Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks?”
- Cheney’s thoughts are likely entirely of small animals being slowly and painfully dissolved in some kind of acid. Or, humans… whatevers.
And also:
“Who cares what John McCain thinks?”
- Why does McCain make a public statement about everything as if won a silver medal or something? We… Don’t… CARE WHAT YOU FUCKING THINK, McCain. About anything. You lost. No second prize in Presidential politics, goob.
“Who cares what Roger Ailes thinks?”
- Roger Ailes has a bucket.
“Who cares what (just list the entire fucking GOP in here, to save time) thinks?”
- Really. Who? Take a poll. You’ll discover that it’s “nobody.” It’s a niche party, for the retard 20%…
I mean… 20%??? Seriously? (sound of air slowly escaping a punctured tire)
S.Luggo: I saw that at work. (Yeah, I can read the WSJ Murdoch propaganda rag at work. But Wonkette is bannzored.)
I was hoping to see a Peggington Noonington here, but I guess are hosts and hostesses and such as got drunk and nodded off early.

You know what? When even Howie Kurtz (today’s WaPo) mocks Cheney & Rove for their recent “Obama = dithering” comments, you know the jig is up.
Did have to laff at Michael Spears (sp? WaPo) use of the phrase “lashes out” today referring to Robert Gibbs very quiet and very methodical and very unlashy-outy response to Cheney’s remarks.
“Who cares what Dick Cheney thinks?”
Thinking is not what counts. Not Dithering, that’s what counts MF. Dick Didn’t Dither. Get it.
desertwind: Robert Gibbs, of the velvet lash.
gurukalehuru: Sounds appropriately kinky. Does it come with fuzzy handcuffs?
Seriously, Cheney needs to be rhetorically gagged, and I’d hope the administration would do it by leaking some embarrassingingly obvious criminal activity Cheney was involved in during his reign.
Sounds like they’ve finally gotten Joe’s meds about right…
SayItWithWookies: “pasty glowering ghoul”, eh? Ooooh. I wish I could think up shit like that. Sigh….the beauty, the beauty
SayItWithWookies:mmmm….and the puppy-torturing Nero wannabe was also excellent. So much potential. I’m thinkin’ holiday cards.
i fucking love this guy. can roger ailes and cheney please get back together for a 2012 reunion just so Joe goes crazy for all of us?
I think it’s pretty clear that Dick Cheney is emboldening our enemies with his unpatriotic questioning of our President in a time of war.
Clearly, Dick hates America.
At least, that’s we heard during his reign as pseudo-president.
Holy Cow!!: I remember when Boxer and a few others grouped Republicans complaining about Obama’s Nobel Prize to the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden, and the mainstream media went absolutely bat-shit crazy.
Of course, the rule is that in America, only Republicans get to tie their opposition to our enemies. Being a Republican, after all, has always meant never having to say you’re sorry. You see, Cheney can tell his detractors to “fuck off”, but if Joe so much as questions why we should still listen to him, well, Joe would be asked why he’s maligning such a great patriot.
Joe rocks! I like the “half sentence” approach to combating Republicans and public scrutiny at the same time.
I’m not a fan of the expanding poop ads these days. I dunno…
Let Crazy Joe be Crazy Joe!
The World (and the intertubes) needs Crazy Joe (who usually isn’t so crazy - I mean, who spent years telling anyone who would listen that PAKISTAN is the real clusterfuck we should be worried about?)
Maybe he was about to add “…gives a flying fuck what Darth Cheney has to say?” Maybe he stopped on purpose, like the punch Muhammad Ali never threw. Only Joe knows.
Maybe Doris Kearns Goodwin will tell us in due course.
Joe Biden: almost telling it like it is.
