Oh, other people shouted stuff at Dick Cheney yesterday at CPAC. Don’t think you’re safe from a little underground bunker torture, Paultards. He’s still alive, you know.
Rumsfeld is being given CPAC’s “Defender Of The Constitution” award, a concept that apparently rankled Paul supporters in the crowd. Many of them got up and walked out en masse at the mention of Rumsfeld, though some stayed behind in the conference hall to heckle the architects of the invasion of Iraq.
One shout of “where’s Bin Laden?” rang out as Cheney spoke of Rumsfeld.
Simply the best. [TPM]

Did you ever see Carrie? Dick Cheney wishes he was her every time he's booed.
I always pictured him as more of a 'Samantha'
Shouldn't that be "Destroyer of the Constitution"?
And Sarah Palin wins the "Restoring Dignity in Politics" Award.
The Paultards who booed Cheney were found mysteriously dead this morning, each drained of blood with two small puncture wounds in the neck.
I thought Cheney survived only on the blood of small children.
That's just what he prefers; but any human blood will suffice.
Paultards are small children, anyway. (mentally)
And usually physically, with their gaunt, pale, emaciated figures. They saved all their nacent energy the night before to be able to heckle him, after which they fainted from exertion.
Fucking Paultards, with your delicate sensibilities and your thin and jaundiced skin and sunken eyes and cheeks and spindly limbs and concave chests and distended bellies. Fuck off, you mutant freaks. Back to the sewers and underworld, you phantoms.
Was any glitter found nearby? That's the mark of the emo vampire.
Where any of the victims found with their chest ripped open and the heart removed?
Count Iraqula strikes again!
Only the necks were recovered. The search for the rest of the bodies is ongoing.
I think Tina Turner would be less offended if her song "You're simply the Best" was used to play Ike Turner up to the stage. I would have picked Bon Jovi, "shot through the heart and you're to blame…."
Maybe Rush's "Tom Sawyer."
Edit: Or Talking Heads "Psycho Killer."
Lou Reed's "Dirt."
Vader's theme from Star Wars (too obvious?)
I've Seen All Good People from YES
Black Sabbath "War Pigs"
Bob Dylan's "Masters of War".
How about Jimmy Buffet's "He's a Dickhead"
Or Cee-Lo's "Fuck you".
What no Zappa? The refrain from Broken Hearts are For Assholes would fit:
You're an asshole,
You're an asshole,
You're an asshole,
that's right, yes you.
Paultards are the sane ones? I am confused… again.
Every so often, they do something smart. It does indeed happen.
Well, I think "smart" might be a little strong, but I get your point.
I'm thinking more of a "blind squirrel, acorn" sorta thing.
More like "Broken clock right twice a day" thing.
Don't let their occasional reasonableness on foreign policy confuse you; that still does not make up for their complete ignorance of basic economics and the Constitution, combined with their arrogant belief that they know better than everyone else about them even though they are completely wrong.
Yes indeed … & all it took was the GOP lowering the bar to 15 miles below sea-level!
Can Republicans make Emperor Norton look like FDR?
YES! THEY! CAN!
Cheney keeps copies of the Constitution right next to his toilet.
It's a dirty business.

The smile in the screen capture is perfect. "You do realize I'm the most dangerous human who ever lived don't you?"
OT-Mubarek stepped down. CPAC to weep.
Sarah Palin quitty thing goes global
On Al Jazeera they were wondering "why now instead of yesterday?" I'm thinking he got a) out of the country, and b) confirmation that his money got out, too.
Of course, now the Egyptians have to deal with the CIA torture murderer, Suleiman.
Not so sure how long Suleiman will stick around, he did say the military is now in charge
As long as he's around, the CIA's driving that bus. Langley! Fuck Yeah!
i've been listening to all of this, trying to imagine how that old man and the grifter would have dealt with a crisis of this proportion.
not well for sure.
I am not sure what they would do, but I do believe that bombs and killing brown people would be involved.
Define "alive."
well, considering life begins at conception, i would say "alive" means there are still some cells dividing. Could be C. Diff raging in his corpse for all it matters…
Rechargeable batteries in his device that keeps the succulent, life-giving blood of a 100 virgins moving through his rusty veins.
So Paultards think Rumsfeld is a defender of the constipated and Cheney's a war criminal. Let me know when Ron's rummies have the dynamic duo loaded on a Swiss Air flight to den Haag.
Don't think you're safe either, Jack. Dick's a Mario fan.
“where’s Bin Laden?”

Given Osie's age & diabetes, I was thinking Wal-Mart greeter.
In a very nice suite at the Venetian in Las Vegas. Call him "Mr. B", he tips well. His security can be rude, though.
"…and I'm searchin' for a heart,
Searchin' everyone.

Warren Zevon
While we're on Warren, regarding Dick:
I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton, and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy, and I'm angry, and I don't care who I cross
Mr. Bad Example indeed! I don't like the verse though that says "I'll live to be a hundred and go down in history."
I'll stick w/ "Sympathy for the Devil," even though I have none. Dick Cheney is the worst thing that ever happened to the U.S. government, even with its endless collection of my-enemy's-enemy-is-my-friend errors.
"Because I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all"
I have listened to that song many times, but I never understood it until now.
Oh how quickly they've started eating their own…
Never was one of them.
RINO. Cheney was a RINO.
Has he started building his Clone Army to overthrow the Empire?
You guys are having so much fun!! Can I go to CPAC next year? Will you have a ticket raffle or something?
They don't look drunk/ hungover/ flirty enough to be at a really fun conference. I suppose that could change. Maybe those cell phone pix are blurry for a reason.
Did I wake up on Htrae this morning? Cheney called a war criminal at a conservative fap fest?
So nice to see this Chicken-Hawk, draft dodging Pussyfart looking so gaunt and cadaverous. I can almost smell the embalming fluid from here. Boos for this soulless creature are welcome from any quarter. Shaking hands with this monster of creation must be like giving Satan a reach-around; something Cheney never even offered the American People.
"I can almost smell the embalming fluid from here…"
Reminds me of great scene in Mrs. Doubtfire where Robin Williams is forced to send his children off to visit his mother-in-law because he's considered an unfit parent:
Cute little daughter: "Daddy, Gramma smells funny."
Robin Williams: "It's the formaldehyde."
Great movie!
What confuses me is not the Paultard boos, but the people cheering him like he's going to whip out a stratocaster and play the intro to Freebird. This is Dick Cheney, people. Settle the f**k down or someone is going to get shot in the face.
Just like every special interest group that wants medical research funding brings a pitiful looking sick kid to the House floor, Paultards should adopt a little Iraqi girl who had her arms and legs blown off, and then take her to every single fucking public appearance that Dick and Rummy make for the rest of their sorry fucking lives.
Code Pink would probably do it. But theirs would be a more portable doll version since touching handicapped brown people all the time would make them unclean and unable to reincarnate as Oprah's lover, Gayle Stedmund.
Re: the headline, I cannot think of a better way for Dick Cheney to go out, than being booed by his own base. Well, no, actually rotting in prison in The Hague would be better, I take that back.
Rotting before our eyes while remaining semi-ambulatory isn't cutting it for me either. Needs moar butt-rapin'.
Too easy. My revenge fantasies for Dick Cheney expressly don't involve any of the horrors he visited on people across the globe, because in my mind, at least part of the karmic element is the knowledge that, as miserable as he'd be at being brought to even minimally fitting justice justice, he'd also have to live with the knowledge that he'd have done way fucking worse, to himself, if he were in the ICC's shoes.
Basically, it's like my view on prosecuting terrorists, of which he is basically one: the best press, and the best way to make a point and really fucking make them miserable, would be to prove that the rest of the world believes in justice, not thuggery, by prosecuting and justly convicting them, then sentencing them to life imprisonment.
Ugh, too reasonable. Damn you and your high road!
A++.
a roomate named Slobodan would really cheese that old prick. I don't care if said slobodan is dead or alive, i'm not even gonna google it.
Doesn't some backasswards state of our American Union still have firing squads for killing death row inmates? For me, there is no more fitting way for Cheney to go than being shot in the face. Karma's probably the one bitch who isn't afraid of Small Dick Cheney.
That would be Utah, but it's actually less about simply being ass-backwards, and much more about being completely creepy.
Why would Paul McCartney supporters have a problem with Rumsfeld?
Look, where exactly in the Constitution does it say, "no torture". NOWHERE. The word torture never appears. And certainly, there's no provision in the Constitution that consists of nothing more than a prohibition on a completely straightforward synonym for "torture", so, as the war criminal said, sit down and shut up. Rummy's totally the constitution's best defender ever.
Also, even if we signed treaties to the effect of banning torture as well, it's not like international treaties are the supreme law of the land according to the Constitution, so that totally doesn't count either.
I guess it's like they said in that classic of American Cinema , Speed: sometimes, you need to shoot the hostage, to save them. As with them, so too with Rumsfeld and the Constitution.
It only said "no cruel or unusual punishment." Torture isn't part of the sentence, it's enhanced interrogation!
FUN FACT: This is LITERALLY the Scalia/Thomas position on the Constitutionality of torture. No, really. Not kidding..
I'd like the Scalia/Thomas position on torture to consist of their crouching in the dark in a fetid dungeon, sharing a stale crust of moldy bread.
Jesus Christ, don't boo him. Didn't Return of the Jedi teach you anything? The dark side feeds on negative emotions. Booing him only makes him stronger.
Whoever decided to give Rummy the "Protector of the Constitution" award seems to have never heard of a little thing called the Eighth Amendment.
Or the supremacy clause (it ends up all those pesky conventions against torture or covering urban centers with Willy Pete or treating captured combatants as PoWs and conversely, actually bringing charges against actual criminals, rather than making up a fictional third condition to give de facto life sentences and also torture to a whole bunch of people, most of whom didn't actually do anything, all also count as the law according to the Constitution, funny story), and was also, apparently, pretty sure that the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments were all rumors, or at best, gentle guidelines.
Seriously, fuck all of these motherfuckers. This is all just making me angrier at Barry for not following through on charges. I'm sure Republicans will all express their gratitude for that, you know, right after they impeach him, spuriously, in October, 2012.
I'm sorry, but when I hear "Protector of the Constitution" the first thing I think of is "Hero of the Soviet Union".
Wow, you too? These people totally buy into this crap.
I think hero of the constitution or what ever fucking lame ass award they give him, will hold no validity with anyone who can think or has actually seen a copy of the constitution or read it or studied it. For even the most baseline knowledge of the document would preclude this mule fucker from ever having anything referencing the constituion except sentencing documents.
the rabble shouting "USA, USA" as if they have some ownership of patriotism, sigh…
Queue it up…Hosni Mubarek's Egypt on TLC. Why not?
He should have started a version of Regis Philbin's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in Egypt. He might still be president.
I'm playing "Where's Hosni" today.
Like Harry Baals, he's wearing a bad beard and glasses and hangin' with Dick.
(see picture)
Ha, ha I thought that was Saddam.
He’s still alive, you know.
I dunno about that. I could have sworn I heard him mutter "braaaaains" under his breath on that video.
These Paultards must stop doing these things! Its the VP ferchistsake…and I may have to start liking them in a very small way.
PS is that Bill Richardson's evil NeoCon cousin behind Lord Vader?
Cheney takes critisism so well, knowing that what he's done was done in what he considered the best interests of the Republic. That's an advantage that sociopaths seem to have.
Looking at the attendees, it appears that the hookworms and bedbugs infesting the Marriot are finally beginning to devour the few remaining braincells of the Teatards within.
Burn your clothing when you leave, Riley and Josh!
How the fuck did "democracy movement" turn into "Installation of CIA torture-puppet?" WTF? Is the CIA actually better at its job than we ever realized? Conservatards all scared of the Muslim Brotherhood, somehow, the heir apparent turns out to be the US's favorite torturing thug? I just don't get it, when anything in foreign affairs turns out to be, well, good for US interests and policy (even if you disagree with cynical US policy, this is the best of all possible results given what we are doing), I just can't believe it. I am so used to the utter and complete bumbling of every possible crisis under Republican administrations, I guess.
Simply the best. That really says it all, doesn't it. Meanwhile chimpy said he wouldn't rest until he caught bin laden, so I assume he is somewhere looking for bin laden, well, somewhere that can't prosecute him for war crimes anyway.
But at least OJ is still looking for the real killers, right?
He should be with OJ searching for Nicole's real killers from a jail cell.
"Protector of the Constitution"? Are these people living in Cromwell's England?
The Magna Carta was too liberal for these douche bags.
Did they play Star Wars music as he made his appearance?
Coming in to CPAC with to applause, USA chants, and Tina belting out "Simply the Best." The Reagan is strong in that one.
Also, was that Evil Bill Richardson in the background?
Cheney did indeed soak up that booing like a sponge, as though it fortified him at least until next year's CPAC. I don't know where the optimism of this post's title comes from. He probably hasn't felt that good since the last time he shot a guy, whenever that was.
Wednesday around noonish
Back in W's day, a contrary bumper sticker on your car was enough to get a person denied admission to an ostensibly public event, so how did the "war criminal" hecklers get in? Or were they the ones dressed in the Revolutionary War costumes?
Can't listen, but I assume they told Cheney to "go fuck yourself" in a manner befitting the floor of the CPAC.
Let it not be lost that he began speaking at … 4:20!
Quick! Someone check his pulse!
The Torture King returns to His Dark Throne (TM)
hehe Yo Paultards, how long can you bitches tread water while sucking on the business end of a M16?
These Paultards. First helping destroy the patriot act, and now yelling insults at Cheney?
They're like a Code Pink that doesn't understand economics.
"You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone…"
Stop for a second and think about the actual meaning of those words, in English.
Now vomit.
"Sit down and shut up"
(thunderous laughter and applause)
AHAHAHAHA, it's funny because he tortured people to death.
The fact that Cheney gives a little smirk after being called a war criminal is just too fucking much for me. That alone should be cause to send him, bush, that whole gang, plus the current band of idiots who refuse comply with law (I'm looking at you, Obama) straight to the Hague.
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure the House will get around to impeaching Obama for that. And thus, justice will be completely served.
That sack of evil actually seemed to grin when someone called him a war criminal. Like someone recognized his efforts. One of his handlers should tell him it wasn’t meant as a compliment.
How can Paultards accuse someone of being a "war criminal" when they hate international law so much?
I'll bet they didn't pay Tina either. Oh, well, she's probably a Muslin.
Twilight Zone Script #176
Opening Scene: Maid unlocks hotel door. Walks in sees apparently lifeless body on bed.
Runs to phone and calls front desk.
Scene Two: Coroner places finger on victim's throat and says. "He's gone. Bag him."
Scene Three: Mourners at grave side weeping as casket lowered into cold dark grave.
Scene 4: Empty cemetery. Zoom in on headstone with Chaney's name on it. As scene fades to black you hear a faint muffled humming sound.
Something about the theatre of the "fuck me!" screams of endearment that makes me very, very sad their form of government is supported by millions like them.
The note said "Victims found with small pricks" so it's kind of an easy mistake to make.
Guess the Tea Party can be a double edged sword.
I love it. Even their base isn't pretending to like them, anymore. Reap what you sow, bitches.
