Snowlympics and Whack-a-Dick-Mole Cheney pops up again!
Whack-a-Dick-Mole Cheney popped up again Sunday on the Tee Vee Box.
Hey Dick! It’s Presidents’ Day weekend, not Veep Day! We don’t need you disrupting our Presidents’ Day commercials for mattress sales!
Yes, friends, that disturbance in the force we all felt yesterday was not a Canadian actually winning a gold medal at the Snowlympics but, rather, the US of A’s big Dick Cheney inflicting his face again on the national horror.
Why anyone bothers to ask Dick anything, much less do so on the Tee Vee Box, remains a mystery but there he was, once again talking about how dangerous he believes the Obama Administration to be.
He oughta know, having steered the Bush Administration down the most dangerous path this nation has seen since the Cleveland Administration was followed by the McKinley Administration.
“What the [Obama] administration was slow to do was to come to that recognition that we are at war, not dealing with criminal acts,” Cheney said on ABC.
That would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic because under Cheney, the nation was led to war when what we were dealing with was criminal acts.
So, to deal with the Whack-a-Mole pop-up again, the White House dispatched Vice-President Joe Biden and the two Veeps engaged in a virtual debate only a tad more enlightened than when Biden faced Sarah Palin in the campaign.
Cheney could even be seen, muttering to himself, “say it ain’t so, Joe,” because that’s really all he’s got.
Lowering the boom on his predecessor, Biden calmly explained Cheney is either “misinformed or he is misinforming,” while circling his right ear with an extended index finger.
Okay, made up that last part.
Cheney countered by looking at the audience and saying, “be vewy, vewy, quiet…huh-huh-huh…we’re hunting wabbits!”
Meanwhile, up in temperate Vancouver the Canadians actually won a gold medal! Mogul skier Alexandre Bilodeau captured it in an event that looks for all the world like me trying to ski down a smooth hill.
And you gotta love NBC’s coverage of the Snowlympics. American hero Oyea Ohno is getting his butt kicked by three Koreans when, suddenly and through their own ineptitude, two of the three Koreans crash themselves, leaving Ohno breezing to a second place finish by sheer luck. Listening to the NBC announcers, one would have thought the US of A never had a prouder Olympic moment!
Neither of the aforementioned Korean screw-ups, by the way, was Korean skater Ho Suk…far and away the favorite Olympic name so far.
What’s really funny is watching the cross-country skiers go uphill!
