Slimy Scuzzy Dick

Dick-if-you-will is claiming he didn't know that terrorists were about to be arrested when he made nasty and derogatory statements about Democrats voting for terrorists after his good pal Lieberwhore was defeated. It doesn't matter if he knew or not. There's nothing unusual at all here:
Cheney said on Wednesday the defeat of Sen. Joe Lieberman in Connecticut's Democratic primary on Tuesday over his support of the Iraq war could embolden "the al Qaeda types" who believe the United States would cut and run if put under enough pressure. That's just standard smearing ala Deadeye Dick. He spins that lie all the time. The White House issuing any sort of "defense" is simply to restate it for those who missed it the first time.

It's just business as usual from an unethical, immoral, "man" who said, "Go fuck yourself!" to Leahy, and says incessantly that Democrats would "allow" another 9/11 to happen, are weak on defense and will coddle terrorists. Nothing that sonofabitch says can be taken seriously. He lies all the time...if you will.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada said in a statement on Friday: "Once again, GOP (Republican) leaders are using terrorism and our national security as a political wedge issue. It is disgusting -- but not surprising."

He added: "Even more disgraceful is that when Cheney made those comments, he had been briefed on the Britain terror plot. There are simply no boundaries for these people. In their minds, our national security and their continued hold on power are one and the same. And they will stop at nothing to keep it that way."

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Cheney had been briefed last weekend on the British threat but did not know the arrests were imminent when he spoke and that he was simply reacting to the outcome of the Connecticut primary.

"There was no anticipation of an operation that day," Snow said. "He had no reason, I don't think, based on my conversations, there was no strong reason to believe that something was imminent."
