Fighting the War on Error

Lynne Dick Six

I nearly forgot this one - Lynne and Dick Cheney welcomed their sixth grandchild, Samuel David Cheney, into the world last week. Samuel is the son of Mary Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe. I think that's great, and if Poe and Cheney provide a loving household, that's all that matters. Too bad an overwhelming majority of Republicans don't feel that way.

Here's hoping that Lynne and Dick, every time that look at little Samuel, realize what sell outs and hypocrites they are for supporting a president and a party that's so openly homophobic. Of course, when Dick is questioned about his absurd contradiction of having a gay daughter and shilling for an openly homophobic administration, he gets mighty defensive, decrying people like Wolf Blitzer for being "out of line" and saying that gay marriage should be "left up to the states to decide." I've written it many times: whenever a politician gives the "leave it up to the states" answer, it's merely a euphemism for "I don't want to answer that awfully awkward question."

Flashback: take a look at Cheney barking at Blitzer...


Being hypocritical is nothing new to Dick - who's the biggest war monger in this administration, but did everything he could to dodge the draft in the 1960s. Dick now has more grandchildren (6) than draft deferments (5). It took a while.

Hannity: putting the Faux in Fox News



Sean Hannity might be the first person in history to do a political television show without even following the news. Wait, that can't be possible, can it? Or, maybe he's just knowingly lying, like so many members of the Bush Administration.

Anyway, you only need to go about 15 seconds into the video clip above to know what something has gone horribly, horribly wrong with Hannity's research department. In fact, the last person in charge of finding facts before a broadcast, Hannity himself, was relieved of those duties, oh, something like six years ago.

The president has NOT OFFERED his aides to testify under oath under any circumstances, you moron.

And for those of you who think it was an honest mistake by Hannity? Let's look at a few other "mistakes" by Fersatz News...

Mark Foley, a Democrat? Ha.

This one's over the top, even for these people. I don't know if this has been Photoshopped, and that kind of points to what Fersatz News has always been - a total right-wing network. The fact that this is even remotely believable should outrage all Americans.

If it were up to the Republican Party, Debate about any military matters would be a battlefield casualty. Along those lines, if Debate served in Iraq, would he have to serve three tours of duty? Would Debate, if he was wounded on the battlefield, have to come home and stay in a moldy, Roach Motel at Walter Reed? Hey, maybe Debate wouldn't have to serve in this war, like every other prominent Republican war-monger in this administration shirked duty in Vietnam. Ahh, if that happened, Dick would be awfully proud of you, Debate!
