It's too late for the petulant Dick Cheney to earn any credibility with most Americans.
Not only do many Americans think he's the worst vice president in U.S. history. Now Cheney is taking pot shots at the person -- Joe Biden -- whom voters elected as his successor.
Cheney's most churlish comments have been directed at Biden, who back in October said that Cheney "has been the most dangerous vice president we have had probably in American history."
Over the weekend, Cheney said he thought President-elect Barack Obama "does not expect (Biden) to have as consequential a role as I have had during my time."
Biden responded by saying he made Obama promise that the vice president would be involved in every major decision the president makes in the upcoming four years.
Cheney got more bad news Monday.
A new CNN-Opinion Research Corp. survey said 23 percent of Americans think he is the worst vice president in history.
An additional 41 percent rated Cheney as a poor vice president.
Another fun fact: Only 1 percent said he's the best vice president in U.S. history.
While the poll did break down mostly along party lines -- with 80 percent of Democrats calling Cheney the worst vp ever -- a healthy 60 percent of independents agreed.

I need an alternative term for "retard." I have no need to offend the developmentally challenged by suggesting that after eight years of having the football yanked away they would still rush to the defense of the noble Lucy.

That made me laugh out loud. Delusional retard, indeed. Talk about an utterly selective memory, rewriting history as it never occurred.

"Biden responded by saying he made Obama promise."
Let me find that quote where Obama said that not only will he vote against FISA but will filibuster it as well. Then when everything is all nice and tidy for him, he votes for it.
What will Biden do when The Messiah breaks his promise?
You left out one of Reagans
You left out one of Reagans best legacies - the Aids epidemic. If only those Republicans could say condom.

Lets get this straight once and for all.
Reagan was the greatest president there ever was.
Please quit trashing our great President of these United States, the honorable George Bush.
This is just priceless. If you think you can do better you can run in 4yrs.
oops ..... silence is deadly.....
Reagan's legacy:
1. mentally ill people kicked out of hospitals, beginning the homeless crisis
2. the destruction of labor unions
3. trickle down economic policies, which destroy the middle class
4. the invasion of Grenada
5. he ripped the solar panels off the White House
6. Iran/Contra
7. Savings and loan meltdown
Yep, he was just the GREATEST.

Huh? I never said anything about Clinton being "the greatest." I just corrected the hysterical/historical revisionism of you moronic kool-aid drinkers.
I know it irritates you right-wing bozos when people point out how your account of things is so vastly out of whack with reality, but hey, someone's got to do it. :-)
But I know my limitations -- I can correct your misrepresentations, but I can't fix dumb.
Good night, Kenny. Kisses.

You know KC I got to go with you on this one. The kids have run this one into the ground and there ain't no stopping them. We'll have to turn this car around if they don't shut up!
With the already existing predicitons of a future attack by defense analysts (due to the inadequacies of the Bush preparedness?) your prediction is both redundant and convenient.
If we don't protect the freedom of speech how will we know who the a$$#@les are?

"Bush went after them with a fury they have not recovered from" Ahhahhaa! Ha! Hahahahahah! Hee heee heeeee! Osama bin Laden thumbs his nose at the U.S. from his hidey hole for SEVEN YEARS and sees us doing EXACTLY what he said we'd do--bankrupt ourselves chasing down anybody who waves a flag that says al Qaeda! God, what would we do for fall-down laughing idiocy if it weren't for these dimwitted rightist moonbats who think they can still lie their way out of everything! OMG, that's funny! "Bush went after them with a fury they have not recovered from"--BUSH SAID IN FRONT OF A CAMERA WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WATCHING THAT HE WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT BIN LADEN, YOU DELUSIONAL RETARD!
This is just priceless, this silly mincing twit is going to still be declaring Bush's victory over terrorism after Red China cashes in the trillion dollars worth of our debt the coward Bush sold them to finance his vanity war, and sends the whole country into receivership, while Osama bin Laden is opening Chuck E. Cheeses all over northern Pakistan.
