Hey kids! By now you’ve all heard Deadeye Dick Cheney’s remark about President Obama and the war in Afghanistan. To refresh your memory:
The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger.
Well, kids, that got me thinking. Why dithering? Who says dither these days? Then it hit me. I know why dithering came to Deadeye Dick’s mind. I remembered something I had seen on the news during the Chimpy George W. Bush administration. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the video, so I used the stills and added the dialogue so you could understand what was going on.
See? Dithers & Company! They had a little pet name for the Chimpy White House!
HYSTERICAL RAISINS 
You know, I though of Mr. Dithers!
Thx, Nonnie. I smiled so hard my cheeks hurt. 😀
t
thought
geesh
i immediately thought of mr. dithers, but i couldn’t find a decent pic of him. they were all so tiny. then i happened upon this comic strip, read the dialogue, and i thought that it was fitting. all i’d have to do is change dagwood’s name. well, that and change the faces (which was a huge pain in the ass, don’t try it at home 😉 ).
Yeah, looks hard.
(Now, don’t slap me with some dirty double entendre, you wily redhead.)
moi? 😕
reminds me of a blogger who had McCain yelling “23 skiddoo and the bees knees !” at the hags on The View… the best part is that Cheney meant it earnestly, as you said who even uses a word like that except an old outta touch white guy who lives in caves and has no clue how his own language is even spoken these days…working in the shadows as he might say. Funny, they say bin Laden (fellow cave dweller) speaks a stilted form of Arabic that most people don’t warm to as well….hmmmm..
mick,
the funniest part is that we know he has speechwriters. he didn’t come up with that himself, so he probably told his toadies to make sure there were lots of verbal sneers in it. maybe he requested dithering. or maybe frank luntz did a focus group to see what word would be the nastiest. yeah, that must be it.
The nerve of Dithering Dick…. who draft dodged Vietnam, started 2 failed wars & inserted Halliburton & KBR (the rape company) into the whole mess.
I like what Grayson had to say about him….
“Speaking on Hardball, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) denounced Cheney’s attacks on President Barack Obama, who posited that Obama was “dithering” in failing to endorse a troop surge.
“I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes, because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking,” Grayson quipped. “But my response is this: He’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?”
Grayson rocks!
we should call KBR the Killing Bribing Raping corporation and tie it to deadeye dick and the rethugs at every opportunity.
“KBR the Killing Bribing Raping corporation”
They’re going to have to change their names now, just like Blackwater changed theirs to Xe.
yeah, that’ll work. all those women will be unraped and unassaulted and unharassed if they change the name. the rethugs are good at giving things cool names.
Wasn’t it treason to criticize a President about war policy, just a year ago?
I sort of remember that when it was retired generals and admirals criticizing, they were accused of subverting the C-in-C. Now, of course, the ethics seem to have changed a bit.
Hmmm …
you’re so silly, wickle. dont’cha know that the rules are different when the rethugs are in power?
Cheney needs to look in a mirror. However, Barry does need to end this thing. Matthew Hoh has it right.
“I have lost understanding of and confidence in the strategic purposes of the United States’ presence in Afghanistan,” Hoh wrote in his resignation letter, dated Sept. 10 but published early Tuesday. “I have doubts and reservations about our current strategy and planned future strategy, but my resignation is based not upon how we are pursuing this war, but why and to what end.”
Now my blood pressure is all out of whack. Can you post some Sarah please to get my blood redistributed?
i’m so proud of you, tannerleah! 🙂 i thought for sure your comment would be something about laura starting a little party in your pants!
Good one, nonnie.
Next I’d like to see a comic where Bush gives a motivational speech extolling the virtues of picking up all the poop left behind by his administration.
hi props!
i think chimpy is all motivated out after his big $19.95 speech at the scam circus. besides, he’s still busy trying to master picking up barney’s poop. his administration’s poop would take his learning how to operate a bulldozer.
That’s some brilliant cartoon work you did, Nonnie. Dithering. Tres 1940’s.
thank you, dahlink. actually blondie began in 1930, so deadeye dick is a full decade behind where you thought he was, zippy.
Dammit. I was trying to post a picture, but I suck!
