Get out your Sunday Morning Barf Bags Out

I just watched Dick Cheney tell his 1000th and 1001th lie on ‘Face the Nation’.

Not only did he think the invasion of Iraq was carried out ‘Masterfully’ but he doesn’t think he or the president did anything wrong when it comes to the warrantless wiretaps. He also goes on to say that the surveillence was handled ‘masterfully’ (apparently he likes that word) but he didn’t think anybody’s civil liberties were violated (except of course their 4th Amendment Rights, etc, etc, but who pays attention the constitution?).

I hope he leaves Washington in a Black Mariah.

Dick Cheney’s wet dream

From FOX news

WALLACE: This is at the core of the controversies that I want to get to with you in a moment. If the president during war decides to do something to protect the country, is it legal?

CHENEY: General proposition, I’d say yes. You need to be more specific than that. I mean — but clearly, when you take the oath of office on January 20th of 2001, as we did, you take the oath to support and defend and protect the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

There’s no question about what your responsibilities are in that regard. And again, I think that there are bound to be debates and arguments from time to time, and wrestling back and forth, about what kind of authority is appropriate in any specific circumstance.

But I think that what we’ve done has been totally consistent with what the Constitution provides for.
