Cheney shows again why he's nation's No. 1 Dick

Posted By on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:52 AM

Former Vice President Cheney is an even bigger Dick than you thought, if that's possible. In a new story in The New Yorker by Sy Hersh about American relations with Syria, the legendary investigative reporter reveals that Cheney belittled then-President-elect Obama, and misrepresented Obama's foreign policy positions, last November.

Hersh reports that Cheney "worked closely with" Israeli leaders during the lead-up to Israel's attack on Gaza, and became angry when the Israelis told him they had been contacted by Obama's transition team, urging them to withdraw ground troops and end the bombing in Gaza. Cheney then told the Israelis that Obama was "pro-Palestinian" — an outright lie — and went on to disparage the President-elect as someone who "will never make it in the major leagues."

In other words, and just to clarify the situation, the sitting Vice President falsely told an important ally of the United States that the incoming American President supports the ally's enemies, and is unqualified to boot. In some countries, that's considered treason and would get you thrown in jail or worse. Good thing for Dick that the United States still has free speech, despite Cheney's best efforts to overturn it during the past 8 years.
