Lord, Let Us Hope Dick Cheney Has Influence

Cheney backs Limbaugh over Powell on GOP future
By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN – 36 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Dick Cheney made clear Sunday he'd rather follow firebrand broadcaster Rush Limbaugh than former Joint Chiefs chairman Colin Powell into political battle over the future of the Republican Party.

    I commend Cheney for his commitment to the Purge and encourage him and others to stand strong in the face of critics who deny its efficacy. The Purge is working!

    It's a miracle Powell ever got membership in the club in the first place. Who brought him forward?

    Since My Lai, Powell has always been an excellent apologist for the excesses of empire, and a welcome member of the Republican war machine. I suspect that Cheney is just pissed at him for bailing mid-administration.

    Well it's not like he would be allowed on the grounds of the Greenwich Country Club anyway. At least not without a lawn mower in hand.

    (word verification is "dincs" Q.E.D.)

    Here's a fun article about that country club, written by a black lawyer who gained access by being hired as a busboy.

    I went to high school with the demon spawn of those country club members.

    But even in the face of overt and outlandish bigotry the author manages to be a complete Harvard cobag. His need to explain what "Tufts" is (a mid-sized college in Boston) while assuming everyone would appreciate the wonderfulness of his Harvard education, is just lovely.

    He does say at the outset that he aspires to membership one day.

    I wonder what Powell's table-busing skills are like.

    It is easy to read the post title as "Lord, let us hope Dick Cheney has flatulence"

    Or influenza.

    Nevertheless I am unsurprised that zombies would be cavalier about the volume of greenhouse gases being emitted from Cheney's ass.

    Hey zombies: still breathing here.

    "Harvard cobag."

    This phrase seems needlessly redundant, fish.

    I think you breathers should be more concerned about Limbaugh's output.

    Cheney, is after all, being mechanically animated.

    Good point thunder. I hate tautological redundancies.

    I'd like to see an IV league in which legions of students trudge into lecture halls dragging rolling poles with bags of soma on top.

    Obviously the blood would have to be blue. I wouldn't be too sanguine about it.
