CHENEY wins the 2009 Prize
for Most Obvious Dictator
in the English-speaking world
& smiles crookedly:
“Maybe next year, the whole
wide world; it's watching me,
wanting to see how I’ll topple
that college professor Obama
who works from lecture notes;
me, I work by long-range plan.”
& locks up the transparency.

CHENEY WALKS
(AP) Surviving 5 heart attacks makes Cheney unusual, showing that he has good medical care as well as a particularly aggressive form of heart disease.
CHENEY walks taller now in a District
that has long known him all too well,
from White House to GWU Hospital.
He’s ‘He Who Walks Tall,’
taller than all of his enemies,
taller than his breaking wave of well-wishers,
admiring his ability to navigate political currents
as political sharks drift lazily down every street,
intent on drawing political blood daily.
Once again, Cheney’s the day’s top story,
thanks to his heart. Thanks to his heart;
thanks to his heart. “Thank you, heart,”
he prays as he falls to his knees again.

YOO ON TOUR
(WATERBOARDING 2)
“The CIA didn’t want to torture.” – John Yoo
Absolved of abetting criminal intent
John Yoo, now on book tour, tells us
he only provided legal justification
of various options of interrogation
of war prisoners. Just legal recipes.
Now teaching at Cal (UC Berkeley),
in a protected academic environment
he’s safe from waterboarding
by any of his legal colleagues
however much they loathe him,
while no really hard rain falls.

“I am in control here” the Hell I am, it's
“pending the return of the vice president”
I was "vicar of American foreign policy."
Schultz: Al, “I think of you as a patriot's patriot;

You were always willing to serve”

enter Haldeman: Actually, I was in charge.
Nixon: Yes, you were Bob, Kissinger, ah, lies.
Deep Throat: Who can I tell this to?
Shade: Tell me. I will tell no one...
Woodward & Bernstein lurk about, listening.
Kissinger: I was always in charge.
They ignore him & Ford, asleep beside him..
Kissinger: Haig "soon became indispensable"
Weinberger: No, I was indispensable.
Kissinger: I am still indispensable!
In a gesture of comity::
Obama: In “our finest warrior-diplomat tradition
Haig “dedicated his life to public service."
In a gesture of co-comity:
Hillary: Haig “served his country in many capacities
many years, earning honor on the battlefield,
confidence of presidents & prime ministers,
earning "the thanks of a grateful nation."
Deep Throat: Fortunately, he never caught me.
Reagan: Who?
Dubya: That Deep Throw guy.
All rise, except Haig.

CHENEY at the PACS
CHENEY smiles Chenily

At AIPAC they are,
