Enough with the Cheney bashing. We all saw the photo. The parka, the boots, the embroidery. But what you are missing is the fact that it was fargin cold in Poland today. Can you imagine sitting through that ceremony in the cold with Chirac wheezing to your left and Lynne grinding her teeth to the right? We should pin a medal to that parka, next to the U.S.A.F. insignia patch.
Former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., voiced support for a visibly undisturbed Cheney, saying, "When they throw him in the hole, they'll have a big `L' on his gravestone for loyalty."
Simpson also recalled calling Cheney during the heat of the Presidential campaign to check in on him.
"How you doing, pal?" Simpson asked Cheney.
"Same old crap, Al," Cheney replied.
Truly, words that should inspire us all.
