Dick Cheney Embraces "Go F*ck Yourself," Historically Low Approval
Numbers

Posted by Blue Texan, at 11:15 AM on December 21, 2008.

Dick appears physically incapable of regret, which, in case you didn't
know, is actually rather common among the Undead.

WALLACE: Did you tell Senator Leahy, "bleep yourself"?

CHENEY: I did.

WALLACE: Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment?

CHENEY: No, I thought he merited it at the time and we've since
patched over that wound.

As revealing as that exchange was, this one's even more illuminating:

Host Chris Wallace also asked Cheney if he was bothered by his
outgoing approval ratings - a dismal 29 percent.

"We didn't set out to achieve the highest level of polls that we could
during this administration," Cheney said. "Eventually you wear out
your welcome in this business."

Is that so?

Let's see -- the last three 2-term presidents were Clinton, Reagan and
Eisenhower. Clinton left with a 66% approval rating, Reagan, 63% and
Eisenhower, 59%. So, no Dick, you only "wear out your welcome" when
you totally wreck the country.

But don't you also love the way Dick equates low popularity with good
governance, as though, in a democratically-elected republic, having a
majority of the electorate think you're doing a good job is somehow
bad. In other words, 70% of the American people are idiots.

Hey, Dick? Go fuck yourself.

"Dropped out". Are you sure that was the mechanism?

Cheney admits that he flunked out.

But only once. You only get one flunk out at Yale.

Incidently, it takes a rather determined effort to flunk out of Yale or
any Ivy League college for that matter.

You have to be something of a determined fuck up to get booted from Yale.

Peace and justice,

"And over 4,000 Americans have paid with their lives for that little
adventure. Plus a half a trillion dollars in national treasure


You might compare that with the number of lives lost on 9-11. Or the
economic injury incurred from that event.


It would have been cheaper in both lives and money to just suffer
another 9-11 every six or seven years.


Peace and justice,"

Even more determined now that their investments have gone down the hole.
Gotta keep that cash flow moving in.

You have inside information, or just more bullshit?
