Cheney: It's 'Herbert Hoover' time

Administration officials have been warning for weeks that failure to pass the bill could lead to an even deeper recession.

That was the message Vice President Dick Cheney brought to a closed-door Senate GOP lunch Wednesday, reportedly warning that it’ll be “Herbert Hoover” time if aid to the industry was rejected, according to a senator familiar with the remarks. A Cheney spokeswoman would neither confirm nor deny the vice president’s remarks.

5. Yeah, those wonderful Dem dominated years from 1932 to 1954.

There is an angle to that view from which things seem very blue, but very depressing.

2. Cheney right for once in his life.

But the Rethugs don't care. This is all about ideology to them.

8. Cheney has no weight with them anymore

They are to busy fighting amongst themselves to see who can be the next Fuher.

9. Cheney helped usher it in, now he and Shrub are worried about their legacies

A little too late.
