"This is my father. . . . This is dad."

Said Liz Cheney, quoted in "Dick Cheney returns to the House and receives a warm welcome … from Democrats" (WaPo).

Lots of political theater yesterday. At least that was hilarious.

“Hello and goodbye” said the House…to both of them.

And now the Progressives are bowing down to the Cheneys?? We do live in upside down world, don't we??

...and then, cut to C3P0 wiping a tear from his eye as Luke Skywalker introduces the great Vader to the conclave of newly "enlightened" Rebels who once saw him as the implacable force of evil in the universe.

"This is my father... This is Dad."

Standing ovation! Unity!

Roll the closing credits. Boffo.

Dems love them some defeated, impotent Republicans.

Josephbleau said...

It’s a horrible look for Democrats to shake hands with worse than Hitler. Who thought this show up? The cliche is true, Democrats have no memory of what they did or said in the past. Each day is a new world, disconnected from yesterday.

Hah! Outstanding ending to nu Star Wars. I am grateful to the Cheneys: they're absolutely demolishing what positive feelings anyone had to the administration of Bush the Lesser.

Dave Begley said...

When the Dems steal an election, they don't want any challenges to it.

When the GOP takes over the House. We MUST find out if the Feds planned this. Ray Epps must testify. Chris Wray MUST answer questions. Scaffold Commander must be found.

This is bigger than the Russia collusion hoax, but of the same piece.

I can't imagine the Republicans will allow any real investigation.

"That's My Bush!"

Here are some TV comedy show ideas in a similar vein:

That's My Dick!

That's My Brandon!

It's a cast reunion. They all had a good run and many became rich, famous stars.

Abre los ojos, Dave.

When it comes to a dick receiving a warm welcome, timing is everything.

The progressive party licking the taint of a war criminal. Jesus, my beloved country is losing its goddamn mind.

Temujin said...

Glad I didn't see that yesterday. Nauseating. It's like watching someone wretch, then scoop up their own vomit and eat it. Think about how many years the Democrats asked for/demanded the head of Dick Cheney. And now this? Are there no real human beings left in Washington?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

If you thought the Democrats where phony frauds before... what now?
geeez

gilbar said...

serious question
come next jan, after Lizard Cheney loses in a landslide vote...
Will she and fellow democrats Demand, that she (and the other losers) declare those elections invalid?

Yes. It shows how much play acting they do, yesterday being the latest. A scripted drama for the gullible rubes…er…I mean, the constituency…

I'm struggling to remember who was Bush's vice presidential running mate when he stole the election in 2000....anybody able to help?

It is going to be hard for this thread to do any better than that.

I hope Liz has time to go hunting with her dad after she loses her seat in the primary. Maybe she will wear a feathered hat.

So now Darth Cheney is a hero to the left.

How many great men and women died and were maimed because of his war-mongering?

Fucking hilarious.

'When it comes to a dick receiving a warm welcome, timing is everything.'

There's a little blue pill for that...

Ted Cruz wont even allow it.

McConell? McCarthy?

THey get elected by all the others.

There are maybe 10 people in congress that are not scum.

Gunner said...

This is how Cheney pays back all the conservatives who defended his gutless behind from 2001-2009. Can I take back my 2000 and 2004 votes?

rcocean said...

Have you blogged about Pelosi including remarks from the cast of "Hamilton" in her rememberance? How bizzare is that?

As for Dick Cheney, he and his daughter are two of the most self-entitled jerks ever to reach powerful positions in the Republican party. Hopefully, Wyoming will get rid the Daughter and we can be relieved of the their smug, pompous, personages.

The Daughter is an awful politican. She's unlikable, shrill, and arrogant. Cheney was always pompous and dull. It should be noted that Cheney's power always derived from being APPOINTED not from being elected by the people. Look at his record;

1) Appointed Ford's Chief of Staff by Don Rumsefeld
2) Elected to a safe congressional district in 1978
3) Appointed to house Leadership 1987
4) Appointed by Bush to head DoD 1989
5) Appointed by Bush II to be VP 2000

Neither McCain, Trump, or Romney wanted Cheney to speak at their National conventions. Cheney was ONLY popular with the Republican Establishment, never with the voters.

rcocean said...

The man who lied about weapons of mass destruction, now lies about Trump and Jan 6th. Some things never change.

rcocean said...

"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

Why didnt Biden/Harris scriptwwriters poach from this?

harrogate said...

As a liberal whose values did not change after the 2016 election, it grosses me out, the way that the Dems redefined themselves on so many levels in response to Trump.

I suppose Ann could have also used the tag "What Trump did to the Dems," but considered that too on the nose.

Mezzrow wins the internet for the day- well done!

RNB said...

I archived some particularly nasty comments my 'compassionate' liberal friends made about Dick Cheney when he had heart transplant surgery back in 2012. Like how his 'old, blackened twisted [heart]' should be kept in a jar at the Bush Presidential Library. Whatevs. We have always been at war with Eurasia.

Dick who?

This is pretty good.

"I hope Liz has time to go hunting with her dad after she loses her seat in the primary. Maybe she will wear a feathered hat."

Rollo said...

Sounds familiar ... Reptilian lizard people do have rituals like that ... The reporters probably didn't stick around for the blood drinking ...

Bob Boyd said...

Thanks Achilles.

rcocean said...

My Dad is a Dick

The only truth Liz Cheney ever spoke.

Narr said...

In good dictionaries, "chickenhawk" will have an image of Dick Cheney to illustrate. The worst of a very bad lot of grifters, schemers, and conspirators against the common good. If Clan Cheney knows what's good for them, they'll quietly fade away to a fortified compound.

But who can they pay to fight for them?
