GLOWER POWER

"There is a perception that's created (i.e. a perception that there is civil war in Iraq) because what's newsworthy is the car bomb in Baghdad. It's not all the work that went on that day in 15 other provinces." -- Dick Cheney on "Deface the Nation," Sunday, March 19th.

A loyal reader of a progressive website, bartcop.com, responded to the Dickster as follows:

"You know, Cheney's right. Why, then, does he focus so much on the 9-11 attacks, and not all of the work that went on that day in 49 other states?"

(Also, when he's giving a campaign speech, in say, Cleveland, blandly terrorizing the audience by saying, "Hi, thanks for inviting me, any day now, a terrorist will drop a nuclear bomb on your city, thanks, goodbye," isn't he giving short shrift to all of the phantom attacks that he's phantom preventing in every other phantom American city?)

Of course, I'd never ask him this. Remember the good old days when the words "Bush-Quayle" simply described a political ticket, and not what the President will be mistaken for if Dick Cheney ever goes hunting with him?
