Soon to be Grandpa Dick Cheney spoonfeeds pablum to CPAC audience


The morning after I listened to U.S. Senator from TN, Lamar Alexander (R) speak to the National Governors Association, I watched Vice President Dick Cheney address CPAC. Here’s the text of what he said. Doesn’t read as though it was even tasty pablum, just dull beige congealed bottom of the jar stuff. To be fair, I was surprised to see him at all – given the explosive response Afghanistan had given him earlier in the week. So kudos to the logistics folks and, of course, his security forces who did keep him safe.

If this is a person who is supposed to inspire:

Very soon both Houses of Congress will have to vote on a piece of legislation that is binding — a bill to provide emergency funding for the troops. And I sincerely hope the discussion this time will be about winning in Iraq, not about posturing on Capitol Hill. Anyone can say they support the troops, and we should take them at their word. But the proof will come when it’s time to provide the money and the support. We expect the House and Senate to meet those needs on time, and in full.

“Not about posturing on Capitol Hill”? Talk about hypocrisy.
