democracyarsenal.org — Spencer has a pretty thorough dissection of Dick Cheney's absurd interview in Politico where the former Vice President pretty much preemptively blames Barack Obama for any future terrorist attack, citing the decision to close Guantanamo Bay and roll back the legal and national security abuses of the past 8 years as his rationale. All of Cheney's reckless bloviation has for the most part been discredited (the "61" number, the danger of incarcerating detainees on American soil), but  if he could, I think Cheney would blame ...

The MSM And Cheney
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — Why are they still buying this crap? Ackerman fisks away: Get used to this sort of thing. Cheney needs to spread this sort of nonsense.

Wow. Talk about in denial. Rick Moran has this to say about ...

After Biting the Heads off Kittens for the Past Eight Years…
Firedoglake — ... The right-leaning Politico caught up with the former Looter-in-Chief in his new, undisclosed man-sized safe in McLean, Virginia (hey, Sarah, that's "fake" Virginia, doncha know?), where, as Spencer noted this morning, the stenographers reporters dutifully transcribed every intentionally misleading, fearmongering, cynical word that spilled out of his mouth. ...
