Understatement of the Day: Robert Gibbs on Dick Cheney

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Responding today to Cheney's self-aggrandizing (pro-torture) attacks on Obama on Fox News yesterday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said this:

I'm not entirely sure that Dick Cheney's predictions on foreign policy have borne a whole lot of fruit over the last eight years in a way that have been either positive or, to the best of my recollection, very correct.

Not entirely sure? Haven't borne a whole lot of fruit? Way to be diplomatic, Mr. Press Secretary. Shall we read between the lines? (At least you noted, if not with nearly enough conviction, that Cheney had the facts "wrong.")

Cheney has been anything but positive, and certainly not correct, the fruit has been poisonous. And, yes, I'm entirely sure of that.

  • It sure is fun watching poor old Dick Cheney stumbling all over the right wing airwaves, desperately trying to poison the jury pool and dodge a VERY long stretch in a federal prison. I only saw clips of his interview with Chris Wallace on FOX Noise on Sunday. Someone described it as a starry-eyed teenage girl interviewing one of the Jonas brothers.

    It sure is funny observing the meltdown of Dick and Liz (Cheney - not Burton and Taylor). The trillion dollar hammer is about to hit the fan. They're like cornered rats. Oh, man! I'm lovin' this!

    Don't take your eye off the Cheneys. For your best entertainment bargain, these two are the show that should not be missed. We're talking essential viewing here!
