New Facebook Page Tells Cheney to Shut Up–but Why?

There’s a new Facebook page that just went up yesterday and already has over 54,000 fans. The name of it is “Telling Dick Cheney to Shut the Hell Up”. Probably the people (they refer to “we” but don’t tell us who they are) who started it really wanted to use the f-word, but restrained themselves.

Personally, I hope Cheney keeps talking. Every time he opens his mouth, he digs himself and his party further and further into their already deep and murky hole. As one commenter on the fan page observed ironically, Cheney seems to think, “Maybe if I just keep repeating the same lie, it will suddenly become true.”

Well, that strategy surely worked for most of the long and treacherous (in all senses of the word) Bush II administration. So it’s not crazy of Cheney to think it will continue to work. But fortunately it won’t. The American people have at last awakened.

So let the man keep talking. Because it’ll help us stay awake so that the snarling, angry, power-mad Cheney and his ruthless right-wing ilk won’t be able to once again snag the reins of power.

Have a good Memorial Day Weekend.
