Slicky Dick (rhymes with his mentor Tricky Dick) thinks he can take on Nancy Pelosi.
Vice President Cheney refused to back down yesterday from his assertion that the Democratic approach to Iraq would "validate the al-Qaeda strategy," as he continued a transpacific war of words with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Speaking with ABC News during a visit to Australia, the vice president addressed the criticism of Pelosi, who earlier this week said that Cheney's remarks were "beneath the dignity of the debate we're engaged in." She also spoke with White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten to register her complaint.
"She accused me of questioning her patriotism," Cheney said. "I didn't question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment."
Problem is, everything he is accusing of Nancy, he has done himself. Al Qaida largely wasn't in Iraq. Slicky Dick has a credibility problem.
It's pretty bad when past presidents call you out on your statements, and pretty much say you don't know your ass from your elbow.
Former president Jimmy Carter, in a separate interview with ABC, came to Pelosi's defense. "If you go back and see what Vice President Cheney has said for the last three or four years concerning Iraq, his batting average is abysmally low," Carter said in an interview to be aired tomorrow on "This Week." "He hasn't been right on hardly anything in his prediction of what was going to happen."
Like Carter or not, he pegged Slicky Dick.
You may ask why doesn't someone reign Slicky Dick in? It looks as if no one wants to touch him. He's the rabid dog that everyone is afraid to catch to put down, so they watch as he runs rings around himself, waiting for him to collapse.
