Today, Vice President Cheney
went on Rush Limbaugh and discussed the troubled Arizona Cardinals who are off to a 1-5 start to their season after a humiliating fourth quarter meltdown on Monday Night Football where they surrendered a 20 point lead to the Chicago Bears. Listeners were astonished to hear Cheney predict that Arizona would win the Super Bowl, and that all suggestions to the contrary were being fueled by ESPN and heavily biased blogs (such as Daily Kos) who are pushing a pro-Chicago Bears agenda.
Here is
the transcript...
CHENEY: Well, I think there's some natural level of concern out there because in fact, you know, that 20 point lead was erased instantaneously. It's been a little over 20 years now since we went into Arizona, and the Cardinals have pretty much sucked ass since they moved there, so I don't think it's surprising that people are concerned.
On the other hand, Dennis Green has only been the Cardinals' Coach about two years, just over two years now. They're off to a good start. It is difficult, no question about it, but we've now got a rookie quarterback and a guy who used to be good in Indianapolis. The city of Phoenix had a citywide election with high turnout and the voters decided to build a new stadium... the voters were given the opportunity to run their football team out of town, and they rejected the ideology of hate. If you look at the general overall situation, they're doing remarkably well.
It's still very, very difficult, very tough. Nobody should underestimate the extent to which we're engaged there with this sort of, at present, the worst team in the history of the NFL. That's what anyone who knows the first goddamned thing about football says, and he's right.
Cheney concluded by saying that the Chicago Bears were in their last throes, that Bears fans were "dead-enders" and that the responsibility for Arizona's late collapse Monday night was shared by a secret cabal of gay coaches in the Cardinal's organization.
