Where's Dubya??
Is Cheney being sent out to speak for both of them? If you were being accused of torture and criminal acts, would you try to defend yourself? But not a peep from Junior?

We have Cheney, who was almost invisible for eight years, out in front defending torture and all the policies of the last eight years. But no Dubya?

Are they coordinating their message or is Cheney doing this independent of Junior? I cannot imagine Dubya not hiding behind the curtain, pretending that he is still king of the world? This is puzzling to me.

1. Here ya go. Apparently, he's busy picking up dog crap:
ARTESIA, N.M. — It was a humbling moment for the former commander in chief: President George W. Bush was walking former first dog Barney in his new Dallas neighborhood when it stopped in a neighbor's yard for relief.

"And there I was, former president of the United States of America, with a plastic bag on my hand," he told a group of graduating high school students in New Mexico on Thursday. "Life is returning back to normal."

2. One thing we learned about Dubya in eight years...
He does not tell the truth, even when it is convenient.

5. Fuck You Monkey -
We'll be cleaning up his shit for generations.
He shit in all of our yards, and there are not enough plastic bags in the world to throw it into.

6. In the grand scheme, picking up your dog's crap is actually pretty noble. I do mine.
We walk a few miles next to the lake every day on a beautiful little manmade walking path, and I WISH people would pick up their dogshit. It stinks, it's unsightly, and it spreads disease. There are signs EVERYWHERE telling people to pick up after their pets, even free poopie bags to do it with. Do those things convince people walking their dogs that they shouldn't force their dogshit on others? Hell No.

If I saw GWB walking his dog, and it shat in my yard, I'd be out the door in a heartbeat making SURE he picked it up, though I'd rather see him in jail!

Damn, I never knew I was so passionate about dogshit. That's the end of my rant on the subject.

Adding: This isn't a defense of GWB.

3. Who CARES?
Honestly, I do not care where the WORST pRESIDENT EVER! is.

I (and the rest of the world) had to endure an eight-year long nightmare of tyranny and evil under the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies.

I am so glad that I no longer have to endure Bush's dopey, ape-like face, drooling as he attempts to pronounce "nuclear".

I can feel my blood pressure rise as I think about those terrible, terrilbe years.

4. Cheney has always been out front defending torture

He is rabid about it. And Dubya is a slacker and is happy as a tick on a dog.

9. He crawled inside a bottle. Let him stay there!
I'm tired of hearing that moron's pathetic attempts at using English. Fuck him!

Now how do we get the BIG DICK to shut the hell up? Can't Obama just give him back his bunker?

10. If Stupid were pulling Cheney's strings
do you honestly think Cheney would be allowed to implicate him?

I think Cheney realizes he's the unsympathetic member of that team and doesn't want to go down alone. He's going to drag Stupid with him if he can't manage to diddle the facts and get off the hook.
