Cheney: Libby 'an Enormous Asshole'
Vice President Dick Cheney broke his hour-long silence
yesterday, calling his former top aide 'an enormous asshole'. The remarks
about Lewis Libby came at Warner Robins Air Force Base, where the Veep was
thanking personnel for their vital efforts in the war on terrorism. "Keep
those bodies coming," Cheney told the cheering crowd. "We haven't turned the
corner yet. Hell, we may never turn the corner. It's a long and lonely
drive. The long and winding road, that leads to your door, you left me
standing here, but I digress."
"Whew. Old Fitz really helped me dodge a bullet with that
indictment. Do you know how hard it is to fire someone in Washington? The
union.. Ahh! You have to write someone up three separate times and document
everything they do wrong, get your report signed by your supervisor... and
you know what a moron I've got for a boss... and then you go back to the
union and arbitrate. Well, I don't have to tell you... you guys have it
easy... you want to fire somebody and it's history... that's why I like the
military... well, not so much like as respect. I respect you guys. I never
wanted to be one of you, but... Hell, I'm smarter than that, but don't take
me wrong. I really respect you guys and the job that you're doing."
"Shit, I feel really bad about this war, you know. It's
all Scooter's fault. Cooked the intelligence, he did. And now... now we're
stuck in a stinking morass that I doubt we'll ever get out of... well, not
in my lifetime, anyway. My boss... I mean, technically he's my boss... but
he thinks the end times are upon us... the people you get working for the
government, I swear, it's a crying shame..." |
