When did it EVER happen in history that the PAST VP got nearly 100% more coverage than the CURRENT VP? Why can't Cheney just get lost already? Why does the media give him a platform to spit his vile words? He was silent during HIS time in office and now he won't stop criticizing THIS administration!

2. And to the shame of the media, the references to Biden are

usually snide and the ones to Cheney are neutral or fawning (see Chris Wallace). The treatment of these two people tell you all you need to know about corporate media bias.

5. Exactly! The only time they even MENTION Biden is when he

made a "gaffe." But Cheney's being shown all over the place lying his butt off. I am tired of him. He's not in office anymore. Unless he goes under oath, I don't want to hear from him anymore and I don't want him attacking Obama and telling the country and the world that he's making us less safe.

3. You have a point

And when they do mention Biden, it's with the intention to make him look like a buffoon

4. Honestly I'm enjoying watching him panic.

To quote The Dick's wife, "you're a bad man, Dick". Probably the worst man I've ever known.

Have a great fall, asshole.

7. As long as nobody in the media points out his lies/attempts at covering his butt,

all we see is a former VP bashing and lying about our current president.

8. and most of the time, when they say "president", they're talking about anyone but obama

obama is still often just "obama" rather than "president obama".

9. His vocal defensiveness is a part of his pathological narcissism. n/t

12. Compared to the other voices on the GOP, he's the only one who isn't a moron

Compare him to Steele and Bachmann. It ain't pretty.

Recently though his Bush back-biting and pleading along the lines of "please don't arrest me!" are getting annoying. At this rate, he's gonna say something truthful/stupid and Holder will lose patience and either he or Congress will authorize a wider probe.

keep digging the grave, Darth Cheney, you're already 1 foot inside.
