I really would like to laugh at Dick Cheney’s ‘Out of the Bunker!’ tour. This isn’t the Cheney Americans have come to know and hate. Remember when he wouldn’t talk to us? Now he won’t shut up. He used to be the evil puppet master, the man behind the curtain, but without his puppet, he’s got to speak for himself. So there he is, almost daily now, defending torture and the war in Iraq, trying to start another war in Iran. … It’s easy to say this is good news for Democrats. It certainly seems as if Cheney won’t be happy until there are two people left in the Republican Party, him and Rush Limbaugh. Gen. Powell? Don’t let the door hit you in the a... on the way out. But I also think what Cheney’s doing has disturbing political consequences, for the Obama administration and for the country...

Why the Caged Bird Sang

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: "Dick Cheney has been doing a lot of talking lately. From his most recent barrage of public statements, we have gleaned that he loves Rush Limbaugh, doesn't much care for Colin Powell, believes President Obama is about to sell the Sixth Fleet to the Taliban for pennies on the dollar and thinks torture is a nifty and effective tool that saves lives and defends freedom. Really, this isn't anything we haven't heard before from our growly, snarly, face-blasting former vice president. But it does beg the question: What the h... is he up to?"
