I know I’ve been saying some rude things about the Kerry side of the presidential race, so I have decided to be a bi-partisan offender with the following question:
What is the deal with Dick Cheney?
He reminds me of my friend’s grandfather, Poppa Joe, who sits in a chair on his porch and offends everyone who walks by. It’s not that he’s trying to be mean; he just doesn’t know that words considered “okay” to say 40 years ago in Alabama are no longer kosher to say out loud.
Cheney seems like a nice enough person, regardless of how many heart problems he has , whether or not he uses hand sanitizer after shaking hundreds of people’s hands or what he says in public.
However, his words seem to be doing a lot more harm to the Bush campaign than Poppa Joe’s words can do to offend our neighborhood.
I know I’m a little behind the times, but last week, Cheney actually stated (and I quote) “It’s absolutely essential that … on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we’ll get hit again and we’ll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States.” No, really. He said that. Out loud.
Does he have a speechwriter? Does someone approve him to say things like that? I know I said that Heinz-Kerry was a teensy bit mouthy for my tastes, but Cheney is actually running for an elected office. If our current president suddenly (God forbid!) gorked while in office, this guy would be running the country straight from the Oval Office.
Are you kidding me?
