Ooooo... Dick's Gonna' Be Pissed!
Remember this?
Well, check out this.
Methinks someone didn't read their mail. I can just see the meeting over this one.
And scene.
Anyway, Truespeak is going to be taking a break tomorrow as Mrs. kissfan and I will be out of town. In fact, we're going to be in oldwhitelady's neck of the woods as we take in the John Mellencamp/John Fogerty concert at the UMB Bank Pavillion in Maryland Heights, Mo. So everyone have a good day tomorrow and I'll be back on Wednesday with more bloggy goodness.
- "I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time," Cheney said. "The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."
Well, check out this.
- Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said on Sunday that it might take as long as 12 years to quell the insurgency.
Methinks someone didn't read their mail. I can just see the meeting over this one.
- Rumsfeld: (Squinting) You, uh, wanted to see me Dick?
Cheney: (Out the side of his mouth) Yeah Don, come in and close the door.
Rumsfeld: Look, I think I know what this is about.
Cheney: I'm sure you do, Don. What the hell were you thinking? Twelve years? Christ Don, we sent you the memo last week. Last throes. Last throes. Didn't you read it?
Rumsfeld: Well, no I didn't. Did I mess up? Sure I did. Do I feel bad about it? Of course I do. But hell Dick, how do you guys expect me to keep all these lies straight, huh? Last I knew we were saying it was going to be a long slog. Now we're in the last throes? I can't keep up.
Cheney: Well, you could always try writing it on your hand like junior does. But, really Don, you're supposed to be a professional. Look, I put you in this position because you promised me you could cut it. But now your works getting sloppy, you're saying shit like twelve years, I don't know what else to do. Even W's pulling ahead of you Don.
Rumsfeld: Yeah, yeah, I know. But did I turn in my resignation already? Sure did. Twice even but you wouldn't take it. You know I'm doing the best I can. Look Dick, you know that you go to war with the Secretary of Defense you have, not the Secretary of Defense that you want. Now if there's nothing else, I've got three months worth of talking points to get caught up on. (Rising) I've got to go.
Cheney: Hey, Don, one more thing.
Rumsfeld: Yeah, Dick?
Cheney: Go fuck yourself.
Rumsfeld: Back at you, big guy.
