Bush-Cheney out of control, still lying.

Cheney's damage control creates more damage Hotlist

Dick Cheney gave an interview this morning on Fox in what clearly was an effort to stem the onslaught against the administration's Middle East plans. The White House must be feeling the heat from Congress, to risk sending a deeply unpopular Vice President out on such a mission. You get the impression that they're now worried about holding onto their base.

Cheney botched the job even worse than might have been predicted. Unprepared perhaps for a surprisingly aggressive line of questioning from Chris Wallace, Cheney came across as surly, evasive, and delusional.

What's worse, while barely trying to conciliate the administration's critics in Congress, again and again Cheney essentially dismissed their relevance and insinuated that they were incapable of challenging Bush's policies. He couldn't even resist claiming that they were undermining the troops in Iraq.

Cheney's intervention is such a colossal failure at so many levels that it may provoke Congress to take a tougher stance than it might otherwise have done.

And a jaw-droppingly beautiful one it is, dead smack in the middle of its news section, mind you – not as an op/ed.

1. Cheney is the master of dismissive technique!

His scowl has become legendary and he has become THE most powerful VP in history. His ability to spread fear and his bullying may have finally caught up with him...one can only hope!

2. Can't we impeach both Bush and Cheney at the same time?

Cheney even had the audacity to say that if Congress didn't support Bush's plan, that he had a Constitutional Duty to proceed! Since when is the constitution of any concern to Bush or Cheney?

3. Nice catch
