The Dark Lord* is still commenting on current events:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney blasted President Obama as the weakest president of his lifetime on Wednesday, following the president’s speech defending his foreign policy approach at the U.S. Military Academy commencement ceremony.

“He is a very, very weak president,” Cheney said in an interview with Fox News. “Maybe the weakest — certainly in my lifetime.”

Yeah, ask Osama bin Laden what a candy-ass Obama is, Cheney, you desiccated, bloodthirsty, death-eating, chickenhawk war criminal. Better yet, shut your fucking pie hole for all eternity and silently thank your master below that you aren’t rotting away in a cell at The Hague.

No one who matters gives a flying fuck what you say. You and your flunky did enough to destroy America. At least have the decency to trouble us no more.

    The question I’ve always wanted to ask Cheney (as well as Bush, Rice and Rove) is this:

    When you heard that Osama Bin Laden had been killed, did you cry at the death of someone you’d worked so hard to protect and comfort?

    Man, and that is even in comparison with the Dubster! That is really weak, very weak, very weak indeed, weaker than weakest, and how can a president be that weak?

    Was Cheney alive for Buchanan?

    Or, maybe Cheney was never really alive on planet earth in the sense that we normally understand it, in which case Dick equivocates.

    The Cheney statement raises more questions than it answers, IMHO.

    Eric U.

    the repubs can say what they want, but GW Bush was obviously the weakest prez in Cheney’s lifetime. He let Cheney run the place, until he booted Cheney at the end realizing he was so harmful. But Bush was weak. Hell, he called Obama in to fix the financial crisis at the end. If that doesn’t define weakness, I don’t know what does. Reagan was pretty bad too, given that he wasn’t conscious most of the time and Nancy ran the place.

    Methinks history will judge Lord Cheney very poorly, if it bothers to judge him at all (bucket of warm spit and all that). I imagine Obama will be remembered fondly alongside the more sane presidents, like Eisenhower. Cheney is the Curtis Lemay of his generation, and equally forgettable.

  21. 21.

    @Eric U.: For Dub to be weak, in order for Dick to be strong, is not to be weak in the true sense. Then abject and utterly confused weakness is a hidden strength. Perhaps…. the greatest, truest, strength.

    Let me be the first to admit it: President Obama’s strategy for handling Russia and its incursions into Ukraine had seemed to me, as it did to many others, pretty unlikely to succeed.

    Obama dismissed Russia as a “regional power” acting “out of weakness,” but it was the US that looked weak.

    But it also turns out to be working surprisingly well. Russian President Vladimir Putin has over-reached in Ukraine, creating problems for himself so bad that they may force him down as or more effectively than plausible American actions alone might have (although they helped). Putin is hanging himself by his own rope.

    Obama’s strategy of letting Putin hang himself is working

    Strength is looking into Putin’s eyes and calling him “pooty-poot” and then doing nothing, not even sanctions, when he invades and seizes territory in Georgia.

  53. 53.

    I will admit that after a brief good start following 9/11, Dub and Dick did decide to wage the WoT in way such that we attacked where we were weakest. And I admit that the approach passeth all understanding, though the results do not.

    His body was dead. He could not say why his mind was not.

    He stood in a kind of frozen, sleepless horror while the mist curled slowly through him.

    He looked back down at the him, the ghastly, astonished-looking him-thing lying still and mangled on the ground, and his flesh wanted to creep. Or rather, he wanted flesh that could creep. He wanted flesh. He wanted body. He had none.

    A sudden cry of horror escaped from his mouth but was nothing and went nowhere. He shook and felt nothing.

    So yeah here’s hoping I guess!

    Iran has halted its quest for weapons-grade uranium, according to the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency.

    It also has to dilute or convert its stockpile of this higher-grade uranium, and cease work on the Arak heavy water reactor, which could provide plutonium, an alternative to uranium for bombs.

    We have been governed by fear for the last six years, and this president has used the fear of terrorism to launch a war that should have never been authorized.

    It is very important for us to draw a clear line and say we are not going to be governed by fear.

    We cannot continue to do is operate as if we are the weakest nation in the world instead of the strongest one, because that’s not who we are.

    If Obama, who killed bin Laden, is our weakest President ever, then what does that make Bush/Cheney (“deficits don”t matter”)? Those two couldn’t even get close to bin Laden. Hell, they were so far away that they even disbanded the CIA unit designed to catch him.

    So by Cheney’s very own admission, he and Bush are our weakest President/Vice-Presidents EVER.

    Do people (and Cheney) remember when some Somali pirates attacked and took over a US ship shortly after Obama took office? When nothing had been after a few hours, FoxNews and their idiots went nuts calling for Obama’s head. Well, just like with bin Laden, Obama did it just right. He actually had a plan (as opposed to Cheney with Iraq) and the pirates were killed and the crew saved. It is rather interesting that FoxNews is giving cheney, a man who has literally been wrong about everything the last decade, such a big megaphone.

    For Cheney, Bin Ladin was much more useful kept alive than dead, and left nominally free at large in the tribal areas of Pakistan than captured, in order to keep a threatening shadow of a boogeyman over the American public and thereby tamp down resistance to Cheney’s neocon war efforts in Iraq and Afganistan.

    I am pretty much a pacifist, except for dealing with actual attacks against our home, like 9/11 and 12/7 (pearl harbor) – but Dick Cheney is the criminal I will make an exception for.

    Cheney did things which will humiliate our nation for centuries, if people still speak American English for that span of years.

    He caused civilians to die, and soldiers to die, who could have lived and had children. But because he hated, and caused a nation to hate, and falsified the reality of war for years, he almost single-handedly caused America to be infamous, for having let bin Ladin escape, over and over. What a chump Cheney is.

    It is a shame Obama hasn’t put him into a cell, awaiting a flight to The Hague. Perhaps at the end of his second term Obama will send Cheney and Bush to The Hague, sort of like Bill Clinton pardoning Marc whats-is-name the last night of his Presidency.

    But if President Obama sends war criminals to The Hague to stand trial, that will make our nation appear as we are, the shining city on a hill, not allowing petty criminals to use our proud men to fortify their cheap hatred of … I give up.

    I can’t actually use the English language to describe the opinion I have of Bush and Cheney. They are petty monsters who deserve to be hung like the war criminals they are – not shot like warriors who lost their was. Petty war criminals with no ethics, no morals, no standards of honor.

    Just petty war criminals, like the ruler of Zimbabwe, of Uganda in days past, like the Vichy rulers who hung in the aftermath of WW II.

    Scum. Well rid of scum.

    The midget with the giant dick (right between his ears) Dick Cheney. The bloodsucking tick that keeps on sucking.

    That way everyone has to drink a lot to reach ‘nirvana’ and can insure that Cheney’s plot is nice and fertile.

    The only appropriate response is the same one Cheney gave to Pat Leahy…if anyone should be able to have intercourse with themselves, I nominate Richard Bruce Cheney as the first human to die trying. He’s already screwed the rest of us, time to get to work on his own self. With a rusty rake…

    I’d settle for making him shower in one of the Halliburton (or was it KBR?) electrocution showers.

    I think we do ourselves a disservice by elevating Cheney to Dark Lord status. When we look at him as he is–nothing more than a bitter failure of an old man who could never achieve his greatest ambitions–everything about him makes so much more sense. Pity, rather than fear, is the much more appropriate emotion when considering Dick Cheney.

    Cheney’s shell has shattered and the goo that gave it shape has run out.
