1. I read that as "The Long, Hard Dick of Cheney."

gag me :puke:

[Elidor]

2. oh my

Subheadline: He has seen better times, but all he cares about is history, not today's headlines

I'm afraid Dick is in for some disappointment on that note...

[Elidor]

3. Also, Hardhead's Rule #3 of headline writing:

Cheney: Long & Hard should never appear in a sentence together. Unless it's a sentence to long, hard labor.

[Lindsay]

4. Oh, he's making history, all right.

Worst. VP. Ever.

[NNadir]

5. It is interesting how many euphemisms Time invents for "torture."

Even now the lap dog media cannot use real words to describe real events.

The word is "torture." It is that that for which Dick Cheney argues, "T-O-R-T-U-R-E." It is sick understandment of completely propaganda entranced government sychophant to state that Cheney is merely agitating for "inhumane treatment of suspected terrorists" and is "opposing new restrictions on the treatment of suspected terrorists."

Imagine that, Time, magazine imagines that restrictions on torture are "new."

This is how weak, criminal, pathetic and frankly odious our media has become. I repeat. They think restrictions on TORTURE are new.

I repeat. Cheney stands for TORTURE. In our names.
