| Cheney X |
Right wing bloggers have better things to do than to follow actual news today: they're busy climbing over themselves and the Drudge Report to pajamacize the X over Dick Cheney's mug on CNN (don't worry control rooom guy, I would have laughed too). File it under: who gives a crap? (Raise your hand if you've ever worked in a newsroom! I have -- it's a switcher, lamebrains, a switcher... there is no conspiracy...)
Besides, Malkin, ACLU stopper, Wizbang Mary Ham and the rest of you tin foil hatters/Cheney back scratchers (he may need you yet, given how quickly he backed down from a fight with "John Wayne" Murtha...) there are much worse things CNN could have done to Dour Dick on-air:
1. Ask him to discuss his Vietnam-era experience...
2. Inquire whether he was entirely forthcoming with his purported boss, the president, about pre-war intelligence...
3. Ask whether he has any remaining financial ties to Halliburton...
4. Ask him why he comes off as such a Dick ... on TV...
5. Ask if he's talked to Scooter Libby lately ...
6. Ask if he's talked to Patrick Fitzgerald lately, and whether he was under oath ...
7. Ask if he's convened his oil industry ... I mean energy task force of late ...
8. Ask him how he sleeps at night knowing he pushed to send other people's children to war despite having avoided service himself ...
9. Superimposed this picture over his grill, rather than the X...
10. Whip out a stethoscope and check him for a heartbeat...
See? All those things would have been much worse than X-ing out Cheney's chagrin for a few seconds... |
