Well, ain’t this a kick in the head for all the Bush loyalistas who are soooo certain that we libruls are exaggerating Dick Cheney’s perfidy in manipulating and lying our way into a dastardly war?
Now we get corroboration from Dick Armey. Like most Republicans, he’s awfully late at arriving at the truth, but at least he’s gotten there.
About fucking time, huh? How many people, Iraqi, Americans and other coalition troops, have died because of these heinous, soulless dirtbags? What most Democrats in congress know and are too pussified to say, a Republican comes home to Jesus and admits: Cheney is an evil, lying sack of shit.
So, dear right-wing Dopers – at least, those few stubborn, intellectually dishonest idiots who still refuse to admit this enterprise was based on a damned lie – what’re you gonna do now? What official rapid-response bullshit will Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity be feverishly squealing into your ears tomorrow … assuming they even acknowledge the story? Gonna call Dick Armey a cowardly liberal traitor?
Or, the scariest possibility of all, is that they won’t think it matters. “So we went to war on a lie, big deal! Saddaam was behind 9/11! There’s oil there! Freedom! Democracy! ARRRGH!”
Nothing will surprise me. And people are still dying for this lie.

“He hasn’t been convicted of any crime, so clearly no wrong-doing occurred. This is just more political spectacle from the Democrat party in an attempt to distract from the election. You know… the election John McCain, former POW, wants to make about the issues. And Dick Armey is a cowardly liberal traitor.”
Actually, this isn’t Armey’s book - he’s not selling anything. He’s quoted in the book, Angler, by Bart Gellman, which is about Dick Cheney. So, they can’t use the Paul O’Neil, Richard Clarke, Scott McClellan defense.
And Cheney’s got a pattern of saying things on tape, in front of cameras, and then flatly denying having said them, so I don’t think he’s likely to break down and confess everything like a witness on Perry Mason.
I wonder who’ll write the definitive “My Boss Bush was a Scumbucket” memoir when the regime is over. My money’s on Condoleezza Rice, though some maintain she’s more Luca Brazi than Tessio. However, she’s not as rich as the others and while she’ll always have lucrative professorships and speaking engagements (at least for a while) and board seats, she’ll be a political untouchable after the administration and have little to lose/a lot of money to gain [Bill and Hillary made more than $30 million for their books].
Perino I’m sure would be receptive to big offers but she’s only been at Berchtesgaden for the last year. The long shot- but the consummation most devoutly to be wished- would be Laura Bush after a messy divorce.
The most likely scenario is one or both of the Bush daughters doing a nude photo shoot (maybe together). Hey, Reagan’s daughter did it. It’s not out of the question, especially with those two party animals.
Perhaps a nude calender spread for charity, as is fashionable these days? You know, each month a different blazing hot Pubbie chiquita. Trouble being, we’d need to have twelve…
Come on, now… she may be a spiteful, self-absorbed buffoon, and the sound of voice could make the Washington Monument go limp, but even I can admit she’s not particularly hard to look at.
