Woodward: Cheney Cursed Me Out

Posted on Oct 9, 2006
Bob Woodward
From NBC

Bob Woodward said Dick Cheney in a phone call cursed at him over Woodward’s revelations about the White House’s meetings with Henry Kissinger.  Cheney then hung up on him, the reporter said.

Woodward called it a “metaphor” of how the White House reacts these days to news it doesn’t like.

    Woodward needed to be cussed.  Perhaps Cheney has the balls to do it?  You wouldn’t even consider that, would you?

    It took Woodward 5 years and three books to reluctantly report the shallowness of GW. A group of young ladies needed only a few minutes. Thank you Dixie Chicks, Jennifer Anniston, and the politico from Canada. Yes girls, Bush is a imbecile, an embarrassment and danger to all civilisation. And they reported this without access.

    Woodward praised and covered for Bush when Bush was popular. Now that Bush is nearly universally despised, Woodward is desperate to be welcomed as an honest Bush critic. Woodward needs to apologize first. Until then, he can go to hell.

    Then Woodward should get right back on the phone,call the churlish Cheney and tell him in no uncertain terms to “F*** himself!”

    This is not first time that our Vice President has acted like a narcissistic adult, what Mr. Cheney fails to realize is that he has been employed by the American public. His insults damage the history of the many gentleman that have held that office. Mr. Cheney is a reflection of the Bush’s administration of the contempt for polite and productive discourse of
    problems that are facing our nation.

    Poor Bob.  What does he expect?  His old friends aren’t ... any more.  They feel betrayed by his latest book.  It’s a rough world out there when you tell it like it is.  Bob, you can always go back to playing footsie with the Administration and get all of their nice tidbits, but you’ll have to do a lot of crawling and genuflecting and apologizing, and even then I doubt if those hard nosed politicians will take you back.  So stray on the righteous side, and tell the truth; you’ll then learn who your real friends are.

    So, if you want to change all this, vote Democratic, get your friends to do so, support the Democrats even if they are wimpy, and in the short run Bush and Cheney will be immobilized.  In the long run, the Democrats could be as vile as the Republicans but we have to cross that bridge when we get to it.

    Congratulations!

    To be cursed by the Devil is to truly be blessed.

    Finally a journalist is doing something worthwhile.
