Before Jan. 20th, I predict we'll see the oft-predicted "Bush pardons Cheney, then resigns so Cheney can pardon him" maneuver.

It's very odd, because our attention span is so small these guys were damn near forgotten, torture was a black mark, but in the past and I felt like we were moving forward. Then here comes Cheney reminding us why they need to be judged in court by their peers. But there in lies the problem, 12 random jurors will never unanimously find these two, among others, guilty. Only as war crimes tribunal will be able to accomplish that task.

Anyways, so these guys come out of the woodwork trying to convince the world they were right, but it's only fueling the sediments we held before the election, these guys need to be held accountable. Cheney is making it clear, who had the real power, who was pulling the strings and I am a little surprised his egomaniac boss hasn't came out to clarify who was in charge.

It's all a bit like PTSD, these inanely absurd interviews which reveal again and again the barrage of Horrifying Indifference and Arrogance which is at the heart of the Bush/Cheney mind and what we've all been ruled under for the last eight years.

Here's what they're saying:

"So What?"

"Fu*k You"

"We kept America Safe, so shut the hell up"

Presidential pardons are meaningless outside the United States....

Didn't the Greeks have a term for a guy who was given absolute power to deal with emergencies in the world they lived in? Neat idea and all that, but it doesn't seem to have made it into the U.S. Constitution.

A little respect please. Those sediments were the ashes of our constitution. Other than that, my sentiments exactly.

To me, Cheney increasingly sounds like a loon. While he might not be busted by any US cops, isn't he in trouble if he steps off US soil? I mean aren't signatories to the Geneva conventions arrest him for war crimes? Does he really beleive he's above "all that," even outside of the US?

Thank God we had great men such as VP Cheney and President Bush to protect us and take the fight to the enemy.

"...and I am a little surprised his egomaniac boss hasn't came out to clarify who was in charge.

He would, but Cheney won't let him.

I thought John Bolton had an interesting interview on the Daily Show a while back that did a good job of explaining the "unitary executive" argument. And Jon Stewart did a good job of calling it out for the wigged out argument that it is...

Cheney has never been shy with the big lie technique. I think he's still promulgating the Saddam/WMD story.

"I predict we'll see the oft-predicted 'Bush pardons Cheney, then resigns so Cheney can pardon him' maneuver"

Not a chance. They're quite certain that they can successfully bullshit and stonewall any investigation, and that neither Congress nor the national media has any interest in, or stomach for, a real airing out of the sewage that has piled up over the past eight years.

Sadly, they're almost certainly right.

"And Jon Stewart did a good job of calling it out for the wigged out argument that it is..."

Unfortunately, he's the only one. It's maddening the way interviewer after interviewer, pundit after pundit, reporter after reporter, just sits there and nods solemnly as utter bullshit is spewed. And the most they'll do is the old "Cheney says this while some say that" crap.
