Neo-Cons Losing It
Reported by Eleanor - July 1, 2004 -
The Republicans have had a bad week. To top it off, Cheney was booed in Yankee Stadium when his picture was displayed on the big screen during the playing of the "Star-Spangled Banner." His picture was quickly removed when the camera man realized the reason for the loud booing.
In addition to Cheney's humiliation at the baseball game, Maureen Dowd wrote in the NY Times: "This week, it's not just Democrats who are questioning whether the Vice is losing it. Now, even some in the White House are saying it's bizarre that he chose a class photo-op on the Senate floor to suggest that Sen. Patrick Leahy do something that you won't even find described in Bill Clinton's My Life. While Democratic lawmakers delayed final passage of a defense spending bill so they could mingle with Michael Moore, the once sweat-free Bushies were acting jangly. First Vice chewed out The Times for accurately reporting that the 9-11 commission said there was no collaborative relationship between Saddam and al-Qaida. Then Paul Wolfowitz called the reporters risking their lives in Iraq craven rumormongers. Then came Cheney's F-word. Finally, Bush got agitated [and thuggishly combative] when an Irish TV interviewer said most of the Irish found the world more dangerous now than before the Iraq invasion."
Go to Mean, Foulmouthed Cheney Is Serving Bush, All Right -- On a Platter for the rest of the story.
Comment: It's a "long hard slog" until November, guys. Can you keep the cork in for that long?
