Vice President Dick Cheney made a brief appearance on Sean Hannity's radio show to weigh in on the Wright controversy. Apparently, Cheney was under the false impression that he had an ounce of credibility left with the American people.
"I thought some of the things he said were absolutely appalling," Cheney said. "And, you know, I haven't gotten into the business of trying to judge how Sen. Obama dealt with it, or didn't deal with it, but I really -- I think, like most Americans, I was stunned at what the reverend was preaching in his church and then putting up on his Web site."
I must admit that I was surprised to learn Cheney spends a few minutes here and there on the websites of black churches. Frankly, I was surprised Cheney knows how to turn the computer on. In any case, Cheney has no business criticizing anyone including Rev. Wright. Rev. Wright never lied to us about the connection between al-Qaeda and Iraq or covered up intel showing that Iran had suspended its nuclear weapons program in 2003. Cheney did.
And last I checked, Cheney has an approval rating of 15 percent, which positions him slightly ahead of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the clap. Governor Spitzer still has a lower disapproval rating than Cheney. If one of our esteemed polling organizations were to sample American approval of Rev. Wright, I'm fairly confident Wright would come out ahead of Cheney.
