The I-Word Is Aimed At The Wrong Guy


From the weekend edition of US News and World Report's Washington Whispers:

The degree to which the new Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill despises Vice President Dick Cheney is a big plus for President Bush. Consider why incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scrapped an idea to impeach Bush: "Two words: Dick Cheney," he says, joking that it would vault the veep into the Oval Office.
Pelosi and Reid have rightly said that impeachment is off the table now, as it will be. What they haven't said is whether that will change after the Democrats convene a whole series of oversight hearings next year to document the administration's malfeasance on everything from the Cheney Energy Task Force deliberations, to Plame, to Guantanamo, to domestic spying, and of course Iraq and perhaps 9/11.

But I suspect that Pelosi and Reid are also smart enough to misdirect the media away from what the real plan may be, as evidenced by this most recent comment by Reid.
They wouldn't target the guy at the top, but rather the lesser-popular and even more responsible architect underneath him. They'd go after Cheney.

Very smart move: go after the co-President.

Yes they would have to get rid of the head of the snake first, and operator of the puppet.
I thought Pelosi promised not to impeach Bush.

You have to read between the lines Chicago Native.. Sure Pelosi wants the Gerbil but who is really running that WH: Cheney! Cheney is the one that is really operating the WH. You get the Ambien first and it is over for the Gerbil.. He can't hold its own. Think about it.
Why is Waxman spearheading for an investigation into the KBR-Halliburton?: Cheney.. All roads and power leads to the Ambien first. And regarding Pelosi: she doesn't need to the impeach the President. The people will!!!

I was referring to Cheney as the head of the snake, or the operator of the puppet, the gerbil is incapable of running a kids soccer team. He seems to bobb his head and that goofy laugh or whatever that is when he does not know the answer, which he usually does not.
I remember his last inaguaration and he said God wanted him to be president, that is what most stood out for me in that speech.
I still want to know who was giving him the answers at his debate against Kerry, ug umm, his shirt was stuffed in funny.

"I still want to know who was giving him the answers at his debate against Kerry, ug umm, his shirt was stuffed in funny."

And we all want to know that! LOL! I saw the first debate with the Gerbil and Kerry. I have to admit this: Kerry kicked ass in that debate and made the Gerbil look like a moron. And we know that from that hump on his back that the Gerbil had a device! And yes, I remembered when the Gerbil said that God wanted him to be President. Be careful what you wish for. Yup, the Ambien is head snake and the Gerbil is just a sock puppet.. I don't know if you remembered an episode on Twilight Zone where the man turned into the puppet and the puppet turned in the man.. Just remind me of the Gerbil and the Ambien...

I still can't believe the Gerbil got into office the "conventional way" and why, speaking of the first election, have exit polls always been right, until.......and the last election him winning Ohio? the worst unemployement in all of the states? Sometimes I just can't stand to hear him talk, especially with all that nervous giggle. At least he says terrorist instead of tourist now. Now he needs to pronouce nuclear correctly.

And let's forget: "The Internets," "the emails," and "The Google." LOL! I am with you. For 6 years, we all had to endure gerbilspeak!!! I was so irritated with his cowboy talks about how he was going to get Bin Laden or the bring in on type of mentality. This will be question in the history books: how did a fumbling, bumbling, villiage idiot, moron, incompentent, non-experienced, draft dodger, and town drunk crawl into the WH as President twice????

It is a disgrace and then he is loose talking like this in other countries.

Didn't he say something stupid (one of millions, of times) at a dinner like lets stab the pig or something imbecile like that?

SP Biloxi said...

When he yearns the bottle, you know that he starts to talk Gerbilspeak.. Alot of ass scrubbing in that WH when he is history.. He is such an embarrassment that whenever anyone from a foreign country ask me about my Prez., I simply say that I didn't vote for him. I am from KPax and I am here in this country as a visitor.

*lol*

Swamp

SP Biloxi said...

"In fact, Chicago was built on a swamp and, at the start of the 19th century, Milwaukee, to the north, had a better natural harbour on Lake Michigan while St Louis, on the banks of the Mississippi, was a more obvious gateway to the West."

Thanks for the history. Hopefully, Chicago will be more recognized for the arts rather than the corruption...
