Cheney the Consummate Coward by Stephen Hanchett
http://isbushantichrist.blogspot.com/
Dick Cheney still speaks in his low-key, matter-of –fact style, that used to lead some people to believe that he actually knew what he was talking about. We’ve heard so much about Cheney being the brains, the common assumption was that he had any. Clearly he doesn’t. Anyone who can say about the war of Iraq that “the bottom line is that we’ve had enormous successes, and will continue to have enormous successes” - the guy’s clearly delusional. When are the men in white suits going to cast a net over this loon? OK – so it’s not prison, but it’s better than nothing. It might stop this insanity we used to call the executive branch of government.

The last time America was confronted with this kind of leadership crisis is when Barney Fife was always telling Gomer Pile what to do. Neither Bush nor Cheney seem to have the sense that God gave cabbages. This White House 'gang that couldn’t shoot straight' is clearly the biggest bunch of clueless losers since ‘Cop Rock’ went off the air. Or should I should I refer to Cheney as 'Richard Bruce Cheney', aka “they’re in the last throes of the insurgency” Dick, aka “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction” Dickey, aka “we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons” Dickless wonder.

Why in the world is anybody still taking this pompous blowhard seriously? He’s been wrong about everything he’s ever done, said, or even thought about. He’s already in the Guinness Book of World Records for screwing up more times than a midget hooker. The only people who’ll still go hunting with him are referrals from Dr. Kevorkian. Every time Cheney goes hunting, all the animals wait till he runs out of ammunition, and then they start nibbling on the dead old people. The AARP is considering filing a class-action lawsuit, and he’s still the only man ever to have his lifetime membership in the NRA revoked for being too stupid to own a gun. And yet this is the bonehead still running our county? Why oh WHY oh why didn’t I escape to Canada while I still had the chance?

The only reason we aren’t in the midst of impeachment hearings right now is because it really wouldn't solve the problem, and most of the country is even more afraid of Cheney than that trained monkey he keeps on a leash.. And yet this is the guy who’s still being asked questions as if he knew anything? Dick Cheney should be in a freak show and laughed at continuously. He should be compelled to wear a sign around his neck that says, “I’m a clueless loser.”

In spite of his comical pretensions about being a businessman, Cheney has spent almost all his working life in government, and he's the ultimate government bureaucrat. He’s good at political infighting, at advancing himself and his agenda within the government bureaucracy, and especially at profiting from the government at taxpayer expense – even though all his policies have inevitably failed miserably, and he’s destroyed the country in the process.

As far as “validating the strategy of the terrorists”, what would a numbskull like Dick Cheney – someone whose been wrong about absolutely everything – what would Old Stumblebutt know about Osama Bin Laden’s strategy? Asking Cheney to understand the terrorists' strategy is like asking a doorknob to understand nuclear physics. If Bin Laden was counting on anything, he was counting on the stupid arrogance of cowardly windbags like Dick (five draft deferments) Cheney.

The problem with Cheney is that he thinks the terrorists are as dumb as he is. Why would anyone in their right mind think that Osama wanted us to pull out of Iraq? So that we could re-direct our resources into protecting the homeland and finally capturing him in Afghanistan? So that the world wouldn’t hate us anymore? So that he could go back to training terrorists in ramshackle camps, rather than using US soldiers for target practice ? The only hope that Bin Laden ever had was to exhaust and discredit America, by getting it bogged down in a war like Iraq. Cheney is right about one thing – they can’t beat us in a stand-up fight. That’s exactly why we’re bogged down in an Iraqi Civil War instead.

As far as the American people not, ‘having the stomach for the fight’, the plain and obvious fact is that 99.99% of the American people are not in the fight at all. How can the American people be afraid of fighting a war where there is no personal risk involved? If the American people are afraid of anything, it’s because cowards and draft dodgers like Bush and Cheney have systematically worked on their fears to convince them that if they don’t support the war, that the terrorists will follow the troops home and start attacking on American soil. If anything, the terrorists are counting on the fact that Americans are frightened enough to keep our troops in Iraq.

The epitome of cowardice is some pitiful old draft dodger wasting other people’s lives trying to prove he has courage we all know he doesn’t have. It’s one thing to be a coward who won’t risk his own life to defend his country, but it’s another to be a chicken hawk so afraid of facing the truth about himself, that he has a lot of other people - people with more courage than he will ever have - needlessly dying for his mistakes. That’s a REAL, dyed in the wool coward. His stubborness is only the reflection of the depth of his cowardice.

He even talks like a coward. Instead of saying things honestly, directly, and in a forthright manner, he uses weasel words so that he won’t get in trouble for saying what he really means. Instead of saying “the American people are on the side of the terrorists for wanting to pull out of Iraq”, so that everyone would know what a bitter and delusional prick he really is (if they don’t already), he says it “validates the strategy of the terrorists”, so he can slander two-thirds of the country and accuse them of being on the terrorists' side, without ever being man enough to actually say it. Typical coward.

The fact is that Cheney still wets his pants every time he even thinks about the War in Vietnam - that's the trouble. 9-11 just reminded him of what a coward he really is. Dickey-boy still has the all-time record for the most draft deferments by anyone in the state of Wyoming. He’s the only draft dodger to have 172 men die in his place during the war. The defense department got so tired of sending out his draft deferments, that finally they just got a bucket of yellow paint and painted a stripe down the middle of his back. That’s why you’ll never see a picture of Dick Cheney in a bathing suit after 1967. Jane Fonda came closer to serving in Vietnam than he ever did. And yet this is the guy who’s now teaching America to hang tough? He’s the one giving us lessons in courage? LOL

It’s not just that he wouldn’t risk his life to defend his country. Cheney’s cowardice extends even to defending members of his own family. He’s such a complete and utter coward that he lets other Republicans beat up and savage his own daughter for being lesbian. They can call her a dike, a degenerate, and denounce her ‘homosexual lifestyle’ every day of the week, but Cheney will never say a word to defend her from these sort of brutal attacks. He’s too much of a coward. Instead, he assaults helpless female journalists like Wolf Blitzer for even bringing it up (bringing up what a coward and hypocrite he really is for never defending her and other gays and lesbians from attacks by his own party.) Rather than defending his daughter, he’s only covering-up his own cowardice, just like he’s doing in Iraq.

He’s also too much of a coward to defend his friends and employees after carrying out his instructions – just ask Scooter Libby. Oh yea, Cheney was a big man when it came to exposing an undercover CIA agent, in order to bully Joe Wilson for showing what a liar he is. Dick’s always been a big man when it comes to beating up on women to get back at their husbands. But when investigators got too close to the truth, he fed his own chief of staff to the wolves and made him the scapegoat. I guess he just ‘didn’t have the stomach’ for prison – huh Dickey boy?

This piece of garbage calling itself ‘Dick Cheney’ is the absolute scum of the earth. All the murderers and serial killers on death row in every state for the last fifty years, could not even come close to being responsible for all the premeditated death and destruction that this greedy corporate filth is responsible for. His ugly crooked smile and gravelly voice would give even Hannibal Lector the chills. He sounds and looks just as if his soul were being dragged through the mud. If Saddam Hussein is in hell right now – which I have no doubt he is – he’s just waiting for Dick Cheney to arrive. Because Cheney’s going to be Saddam’s punk. His pacemaker can’t hold out forever, and one day Cheney’s going to service Saddam for all eternity. Even then it will never equal all the people he’s f-d over.

Cheney could have given Benedict Arnold lessons on selling out his country. Every penny he’s gained from his Halliburton stock options should be dropped on his head one-by-one, while being simultaneously waterboarded and forced to disclose both the minutes of his secret energy task force, and how many people he really has on staff. Then after being tried and convicted of treason, Cheney should not only be stripped of his American citizenship, but he and the bones of all his ancestors stretching back seven generations should be dug up, piled onto a boat, and sunk all together in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, and then the entire country fumigated. Even then, that distinctive Cheney stench would linger for decades.

My neighbors once had a dog that, when they first got him, he was the most frightened little puppy you ever saw. You just had to look at him crosseyed and he’d run away with his tail between his legs. But then as he got older, he somehow got mean and nasty, as if to cover up his deep insecurity. He would bark and growl at everyone who came by, day and night. It was the barkingest dog I’ve ever heard. But you know, for all the growling and barking that dog was still a craven coward, and all you had to do was make a run at him, and he’d still run away with his tail between his legs, leaving a trail of piss. That’s Cheney all over – and it’s about time for Congress and the courts to take a run at him.

5. There are 2 kinds: bullies and the bullied. Which are we?
Cheney is highly intelligent, highly educated, knows power and is the consumate bully. That's how he got to power, that's how he is keeping power. Know this before you analyze how to get rid of the bastard.

13. Highly intelligent? More like an opportunist than smart
Education, University of Wyoming, BA and Master in political science, that is after leaving Yale due to poor grades.

His deferments must have been due to failing the entrance exam.

9. God, that's funny stuff!
I guess it just shows my pathology that my favorite passage is this one:

Why in the world is anybody still taking this pompous blowhard seriously? He’s been wrong about everything he’s ever done, said, or even thought about. He’s already in the Guinness Book of World Records for screwing up more times than a midget hooker. The only people who’ll still go hunting with him are referrals from Dr. Kevorkian. Every time Cheney goes hunting, all the animals wait till he runs out of ammunition, and then they start nibbling on the dead old people. The AARP is considering filing a class-action lawsuit, and he’s still the only man ever to have his lifetime membership in the NRA revoked for being too stupid to own a gun.

16. He's still bought into the Osama boogie-man crap!
Osama is a product of the Uncle Sam intelligence community. Cheney is still a leading cast member of the dog and pony War On Terror show.

11. OMG. This essay is priceless.
"Jane Fonda came closer to serving in Vietnam than he ever did. And yet this is the guy who’s now teaching America to hang tough? He’s the one giving us lessons in courage? LOL"


It's too bad it has taken so many deaths for Dick Cheney to be exposed for the loser that he is.

17. Cheney is not delusional, just evil.
He and his war-profiteering friends are making billions off this war and they don't want to give up the goose that lays golden eggs.
