Most annoying thing about Cheney: He still thinks we believe him.

[MikeG]

Someone please tell him we aren't buying his shit anymore.

1. Don't leave out Cheney's pet Freak Monkey!

We don't believe him either!

[salin]

2. Not a problem that we don't, we never have and he arrogantly doesn't

care.

The problem is when his "true believers" stop believing him. And his approval ratings for months suggest that many don't. SO the big deal is his arrogance at not caring about that. Indicates that HE believes that it doesn't matter. Indicating that he believes that when it comes to voting that the American public is completely manipulatable via big money advertising. Essentially - he holds great contempt for the intelligence of most Americans.

3. I don't think Cheney cares. He is so arrogant and lives so above the law

that he doesn't give a shit.

[Kid_A]

6. Right on.

You can tell by his complete lack of charisma that he really doesn't care if we buy into his shit or not. With most politicians you can tell that they want you to believe them because they lie in a way that sounds very likeable and comforting. But Cheney is like the friend's parent that everyone knew growing up, the one who really doesn't like kids and treats them like shit and doesn't even try to be friendly to his kid's friends. Cheney is your friend's asshole father. It doesn't matter to him whether he's liked or not, because he doesn't like you so why would he care if you like him?

4. This is one of the strangest PR moves I've seen in a long time.

They are all out there touting this connection.

Give it up!

LIARS!

5. Where's the pants-on-fire mobile when ya need it? *l*

7. This is the first time I've seen Cheney stuttering...

Cheney doesn't have a legal background and has no idea where he is going with these lies. I think he's running scared, and will contnue to deny away until he is confronted with the Truth in black and white.

8. RW ideologues will forever accept everything Cheney says about

anything.

[vivalarev]

9. i cant wait for cheney to die....

but if they parade his bloated pig carcass through the streets of DC for a week like they did reagan, im gonna stick forks in my eyes

[immoderate]

17. Well stuck. Welcome to DU

I like your turn of phrase.

As for Cheney. Think of all his alternatives. What else can he, being Cheney, do but just play the same line over and over?

10. There is polling data out there showing only about 26% Cheney approval

Largely so low because people are connecting the dots on Haliburton and all the other Cheney maneuvers... So why are the Roverian Bushistas sending Cheney out to try to push these lies? While he is clearly the BEST LIAR they have, does it make sense to do so? SOmeone play Devils advocate (how appropriate the term) and tell me, please?!

[Poiuyt]

11. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people do believe him

Never underestimate the gullibility of Americans

[Ishoutandscream]

12. Repeat the lie over and over, and eventually people will think it's true

Crashcart is making Goebbel's proud.

[Poiuyt]

16. That's exactly right

Say anything with authority and conviction (and repeat it often) and people will believe you. No need to worry about the facts.

[SiouxJ]

13. No shit huh?

it's because he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. Sorta like Rummy. They're delusional.

[shimmergal]

14. "Dick Cheney is a robot!"

Screaming headline on a supermarket tabloid.

You know when this happens his credibility is plummeting!

[Tellurian]

15. All Cheney is doing is providing blather for the RW ideologues to continue

repeating the Lie..

They know it's a Lie.
But it's been properly formatted for them
by Bush and Cheney to keep their plausible defense viable.
