Cheney's Warning

Cheney's Warning 09/09/2004 10:28 AM

NY Times: A Disgraceful Campaign Speech. There is a danger that we'll be hit again no matter who is elected president this November, as President Bush himself has said on many occasions. The danger might be a bit less if the current administration had chosen to spend less on tax cuts for the wealthy and more on protecting our ports, securing nuclear materials in Russia and establishing an enforceable immigration policy that would keep better track of people who enter the country from abroad.

On another thread here, some Bush-Cheney defenders are gamely pretending that the full context of Cheney's remarks shows he didn't mean exactly what he said. The full text of those remarks -- whether you use the one from the White House or the news organizations -- doesn't support this defense. He said (White House version):

Because if we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again, that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind set if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts, and that we're not really at war. I think that would be a terrible mistake for us.

The key word in that sentence is "and" right after "United States" -- and it shows that Cheney was unartfully making separate but related charges, first that electing Kerry would lead to another attack and second that that we'd return to the pre-attack mindset. Certainly, adding the second part of the sentence adds a bit more nuance to Cheney's positions than the original AP story suggested. A bit. (Good heavens, maybe nuance does matter after all -- even though Bush has constantly mocked Kerry for his insistence that there are some gray areas here and there in public policy.) But Cheney was quite clear in what he said in the first part, and it was outrageous. Period.

terrific "quizzical grin"

Bush's excellent sneer and Cheney's
terrific "quizzical grin" 09/13/2004 08:10 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Here's a picture of a young George Bush slugging a rugby opponent in the face. That's a cool sneer the young Bush has. With that sneer, he could have gotten the part of a juvenile delinquent in a 1950s teen exploitation movie.

The president's smirk no longer gives me the entertainment value it once did. He needs to come up with some new facial expressions or else people are going to tire of him.

Cheney's sneer is good, however.

Cheney also has, as one reporter so aptly described it, a "quizzical grin." His facial expressions are so good I'm thinking of voting for Bush/Cheney, so I can see them on TV for another four years. So far, Kerry and Edwards have only displayed fake smiles. They aren't very funny.
