So Peter Kirsanow over at the National Review Online has this absolute gem in a brief snippet on the Cheney speech titled Cheney: Adult:
It would be interesting to see the results of a more finely calibrated poll, one that compares how well-respected, competent, and effective the subject is perceived to be relative to similarly situated individuals. As a friend succinctly puts it, "When that big asteroid finally heads toward Earth, who's the person you'd most want to be in charge?" I suspect Cheney would score at or near the top.
Conservatives can only speculate about the state of affairs had we seen more of this type of detailed, sober defense during President Bush's tenure.
Now I wish to make three points about this line of argument...
#1) Seriosuly?
#2) Really?
#3) WTF?!?!
The argument, if I understand correctly, and I might not, becuase seriously WTF?!?! As I understand it, oh hell, I don't understand what the hell hsi point is. but I do not it is FRIGGIN' Idiotic!! Andc also, in the event of a catastrophic asteroid coming toward earth, why would I choose someone who has about as much empathy for his fellow man as a Burmese Python has for a small rodent. What is he going to do, Water board the asteroid?? Hide in his private bunker?? and...
Why the hell am I even talking about this like it makes any sense or adds in any way to the debate???
What's next on the "KEEP AMERICA SAFE" Tour:
Vampires?
Nazi Zombies?
Giant Insects?
Alien Invaders?
Evolved sentient apes?
Ghosts?
Godzilla?
BTW, did you notice that we had zero attacks from all these threats, including giant asteroids(!), during Bush's administration. What you say about that all you Jerkface lefties!! Huh!? Go no answer for that, do ya!
Look, I always knew that the right was concerned with Armegeddon and preventing it, I just never thought they meant this:
