The thing that's been completely left out of the Dick Cheney "how dare anyone dither when it comes to blowing up our enemies and rewarding our torturers" speech is the context in which that speech was given.

The Villagers don't like to talk about specifics when it comes to the beltway dinner circuit at which so many of them feed.

This dinner, minimum $500.00 a plate, was to given by the self-described, and I am not making this up, "non-partisan organization" The Center for Security Policy. Dick Cheney was speaking at their 20th anniversary dinner, at which he received the, hold back your breakfast now, "Keeper of the Flame" award. Cheney was introduced by, among others, Don Rumsfeld, a former awardee himself. You know who else has this prize sitting on a shelf in their well-appointed Georgetown dens?

Joe Lieberman

Duncan Hunter

James Inhofe

Paul Wolfowitz

Newt Gingrich

Ronald Reagan

Jon Kyl

Caspar Weinberger

Okay, then. So why would anyone not expect a bowl full of neocon crazy in his acceptance speech? He's among friends.

Why can't the press be honest? And how, at this point in history, has that become a completely rhetorical question?

So he just lies about it.

Really, these guys have no brains and no shame, but what can we expect from Senator "Global Warming is a myth"?

Bob Geiger:

In a statement released yesterday, Inhofe patted Team Bush on the back for being willing to bring home a mere 8,000 troops from Iraq over the next six months and applauded their claim that they will actually begin paying a shred of attention to the true al Qaeda stronghold in Afghanistan.

He also took the time to once again link 9/11 and Iraq when discussing Bush's meager troop reduction.

"Seven years ago this week, America felt the brutal acts of terror on our nation's soil," Inhofe said. "As we reflect and remember that horrific day this week, we can be encouraged that clear security gains have been made in the War on Terror..." Read more...

Un BUH lievable.

During today's hearings on global warming, global warming denier James Inhofe was asking Al Gore questions, but didn't want to hear the answers because he thought the responses would take "too much time". Barbara Boxer then explained to Inhofe how things work in Senate now.

Boxer: "You're not making the rules. You used to when you did this, you don't do this anymore. Elections have consequences"

Everyone in the chamber appeared to love Boxer's comments also.

Shakespeare's Sister: Ode to McCain

Bob Geiger: Knucklehead junior-climatologist, James Inhofe (R, OK), took to the Senate floor Monday to rant like a crazy person about how global warming is propagated by "doomsayers" who are tools of the "hysterical left." Guess the Bushistas failed to tell him they were blocking the release of a hurricane report that suggests global warming is contributing to the frequency and strength of hurricanes
