Slathering praise on a butcher
Rarely has the gushings of pundit bile been so odious:
Matalin: ‘This Brilliant Man’ – Dick Cheney – ‘Has Changed The Nature Of’ The Vice Presidency
In the span of 30 seconds on this morning’s Meet the Press, former Cheney adviser Mary Matalin offered a series of bewildering, eye-opening statements in defense of the Bush administration.
Asked who John McCain should pick as Vice President, Matalin offered that the candidate must have “good cred on having experience across the board.” She argued:
Dick Cheney has changed the nature of that office. This brilliant man has made that office completely relevant.</em>
And of course, since this is America we’re talking about, no one bitch-slapped her into silence, as her statements dictate. Dick Cheney is a war criminal and profiteer, worthy of nothing more than leg irons and contempt. Of course, this person worked for him, so her hands are covered in brown blood as well.
We’re a sick, sick country.
