Dick Cheney’s Eternal Likeness to Be Unveiled in Senate’s Halls

[Rose Siding]

Source: NYT

As vice president as well as president of the Senate, Dick Cheney once asserted that he was essentially his own branch of government. Nevertheless, he will be immortalized in the Senate beginning on Thursday with a traditional marble bust in recognition of his service there.

Mr. Cheney is to attend the ceremony along with the man who made him vice president, George W. Bush, after Mr. Cheney conducted a search for the best candidate to join Mr. Bush’s ticket.

Dems are skipping it, along with Harry who bailed on him too (he was supposed to speak) -AND Leahy, who dick swore at, will be at the WH neener neener.

...So it’s historically unusual but not totally surprising that Senate Democrats are skipping a ceremony at the Capitol Visitor Center later this morning to unveil a marble bust of the former vice president.

3. Made me so sad to read that

I needed to post it. Only some serious du quality snark and derision towards dick will help.

[Nitram]

2. In recognition of his lies and defense of torture.

I look forward to the day we come to our senses as a nation and smash that bust into pieces to mix with asphalt and repair potholes.

8. Wish we could melt it down as they did w/King George's statue

Yes, during the Rev. War 1770's, patriots took down the statue and melted it into bullets. Now that's recycling.

I guess we could break it up for bathroom tiles.

4. as long as we put up this picture beside Cheney's bust

Her family was shot to death around her by nervous American troops
who were worried that their car was a bomb.


"Dick Cheney the Father of ISIS."

12. As well as this immortal quote, uttered on the floor of the Senate to Patrick Leahy

"Go Fuck Yourself"

I hope the sculptor gets the sneer right:

5. He will be tried before I die

I bet before I die he will be on trial for war crimes. Weather he is dead or alive, the international courts will hold him accountable. I think it is getting close by the U.N to demand by law he be put on trial in front of the world. Bush will be also.

15. Lets put the list of ...................................

of 4,685 Americans below the bust with the words ( I am a LIAR / Murder), and that this criminal, is what he is, a lying murdering criminal, and should be in the Hague frog stepping to his next court appearance, to sit there with that smirk of condensation he extols as a virtue.
