Richard Cheney being a Dick

That's right. Hard to imagine, isn't it? He seems like such an amicable character, always smiling, laughing, drinking, shooting friends, having a good ol' time.

Well, Richard has been touring across the world to spread the good word of the Iraq War, War on Terror, etc. and exclaimed while he was in Australia that the Democrats are basically aiding Al-Qaeda with their beliefs and strategies toward the war(s).

President Bush supposedly told new Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, that if any of his cronies (yeah, I'm sure he used that word) stepped over the line with their linguistics, to let me know. Well, following Cheney's complimentary commentary in Australia, Pelosi called Bush to let him know she was offended, but Bush wasn't in his office. He was out...reading...or something and he has yet to call back. In fact, he said that he agrees with what the Vice President said.

It must be a lonely feeling in the White House these days. For the first six years, Bush and Cheney had the majority to back them on any and every decision made. They don't have that luxury anymore, so it's George and Dick vs. The World. They can make insulting statements toward the world, but cannot accept equally insulting language from the world. If the world wants to speak to them about an issue, they run and hide, but they're not reluctant on lecturing the world. With the way things have been transpiring since the Democrats took control of Congress, it's going to be a long final two years under the Bush reign, because even though he's spoken of compromising, the guy isn't going to budge much, it seems. This seems particularly true of the war(s).
