Stop asking questions!

Excerpt from Mike Papantonio's article at

[Former Minnesota Governor Jesse] Ventura earned the right to humiliate the right wing tough talkers because unlike them, he spent his early years enlisted as a Navy SEAL on active duty in Vietnam. He explained that he had experienced waterboarding unlike the war sissies he criticizes. Given the chance, I’m certain that Ventura could at least get Cheney to come clean over many of the questions people have about the scandals and criminal activity that developed during Cheney’s watch. You’ve probably noticed that Cheney has come out of his secluded bunker after hiding for eight years. Think back to the number of times when the media was asking “Where is Cheney?” Like the time he hid in his private bunker after 9-11. Or the times no one could find him after Katrina, and after he shot his friend in the head during a bird hunt.

Cheney’s handlers were skillful in keeping Cheney away from the public eye. They recognized that his public approval was just about equal to that of the Taliban. But do we really need to put Cheney in a room with Ventura and a waterboard to figure out why Cheney is everywhere in the media these days looking like Richard Nixon right before Nixon was busted for Watergate? With every Cheney interview, you expect him to break into one of those Nixon-like speeches where he says, “I am not a crook.”
