But hell yes, Gibbs just delivered the awesome bitch-slap, and touched the Rush nerve at the same time. This is a seriously fantastic statement.

Is Cheney running for President in 2012? I've never seen a VP who just left office so insane and public in their attacks of the new administration. Maybe this is where all of those 2012 doomsday prophecies come from.

^ Maybe trying to create distractions knowing Bush didn't pre-emptively pardon him?

Kucinich called for an investigation of Cheney today.

The Dems should jump on it, and I hope Obama has some people watching Cheney and the rest of his cronies. I wouldn't put anything past that bastard.

Moving this video to NetRunner's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

How about answering the fucking question...

He did, which vid were you watching?

Gibbs could very well have countered that using a crisis to expand the Executive Branch's authority is EXACTLY what the Bush administration did after 9/11. The question was loaded to get him to say as much. I shouldn't even have to really point it out either, since it was such a blatant power grab back then, and really cannot be compared to what is happening to the economy - this is more of a cause and effect. Things that happened in the past have created the situation. We can't change the past, but we can try to make it so this doesn't happen again. The problem is, WE ALREADY DID, but threw it away when we gutted the Glass-Steagall act.

You'll also notice in the wake of all the Republicans repudiating what Cheney has said, not one has apologized like he's Rush fucking Limbaugh.
