Bigus Dickus


I thought I had heard it all from Dick Cheney ("we will...be greeted as liberators," "we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons," "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency") but he just seems to have a way of topping himself:
Vice President Cheney warned in an interview Wednesday that a premature withdrawal from Iraq would invite “further attacks” against the United States and said he has been surprised by the weakness of the Democratic Congress.

Most striking were his virtually taunting remarks of two men he described as friends from his own days in the House: Democratic Reps. John Dingell (Mich.) and John P. Murtha (Pa.).

In a 40-minute interview with Politico, he scoffed at the idea of two men who spent years accruing power showing so much deference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the big spending and energy debates of the year.

Murtha “and the other senior leaders … march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to an extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker,” Cheney said. “I’m trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn’t have happened.”

But his implication was clear: When asked if these men had lost their spines, he responded, “They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.”
Yes, Dick. I think we know what kind of stick you are talking about...

Dick

____ on that, Nancy Pelosi.

That's just sloppy. Isn't free-balling and impeachable offense?
