Pot/Kettle No. III: Idiotic Politicking Edition
Did Dick Cheney really say what he just said?
In fact, the only two people who have been immune to the "consequences of the policy recommendations" they have made have been Pres. Bush and Vice-Pres. Cheney. Cheney's biggest areas of policy influence - the energy policy and Iraq War - are both unmitigated disasters. His approval ratings are in single digits. By lying about pre-war intelligence instead of actually trying to educate the citizenry of the evils and danger of Saddam, he and Pres. Bush have likely set their party back a decade or more, and have virtually guaranteed a completely Democratic federal government in '08.
For the sake of his administration, his party, and the country, Dick Cheney should keep his mouth shut.
"Democrats have to be responsible for the consequences of the policy recommendations they make."Like his policies or hate them, the fact remains: Rumsfeld has resigned; Powell has resigned; Condi has been completely ineffective and is starting to get pressure to resign; Wolfowitz has resigned from the Bush admin., and may have to resign from the World Bank; Tenet has resigned; Brownie has resigned; Miers withdrew her nomination; Ashcroft has resigned; Gonzalez will probably have to resign, and several of his top aides have already done so; the GOP lost both the House and the Senate.

On the contrary, Cheney should keep it up, and the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade while they're at it, and ensure Democratic victories in the next 4 federal elections.
Stick to blogging. What you know about politics and the inner workings of the Republican party I forgot about last night, for Christ's sake.
No one, except the moonbat cargo cult that runs your party, is pressuring Rice to resign. Condi is a damn sight more influential than you suspect. Wolfowitz may go, but expect Gonzalez to stay.
Section -
who are the moonbat cargo cult? and how do you know what my party is? and, influential tho she may be, what gains has Condi made since taking over as SecState? the situations in Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, & N. Korea have all gotten worse, and Rice has been unsuccessful in bringing the intl community over to our side in these disputes. she has been completely ineffective, and mendacious in her public statements. she will not resign, but she should.
