Barack Obama just went up in my estimation as a result of his ridicule of Dick Cheney. At a Friday rally in Austin, Obama laughed at Cheney's claim that the British draw-down of troops in Iraq reflects improved conditions in Basra and southeastern Iraq.
" . . . this is the same guy that said we'd be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we're in the last throes . . . . When Dick Cheney says it's a good thing, you know that you've probably got some big problems."
That's exactly the right tone to take with the Worst Vice-President Since Aaron Burr--not offended, not surprised, and not willing to take him seriously. After six years of recommending disastrous policies, relentless lying to promote those policies, and non-stop insinuating that his critics are traitors, Dick Cheney has emerged as an even bigger buffoon than George Bush.
Maybe even bigger than Douglas Feith.
Every Democratic leader should take their lead from Obama. Instead of being "outraged" by Cheney's insults and criticisms, they should start treating Cheney like the human dartboard he is.
