Jim Baker has a "talk" with Darth Cheney....

[Virginia Dare]

I would have loved to have been a fly on Jim Baker's shoulder for this conversation, perhaps it is Jimmy-boy's job to deliver old Dick his walking papers? He can't have been too pleased that Dicky-boy almost bumped off his brother in law:

1. Naw

Cheney will just tell him to go Cheney himself.

[Jacobin]

2. The Wolf explains why he must be blunt

[CatWoman]

5. hahahahaha

love that, and loved that movie!!!!

do you know Harvey played a similar character in "Point of No Return" with Bridgett Fonda?

:hi:

[Jacobin]

7. I missed that one

I love Harvey, but i'm horrible at keeping up with movies and have been for years.

Pulp Fiction....amazing amazing film.

:hi: backatcha!!!

[Botany]

16. I was thinking more of "Why don't you sit in the front seat?

We will give you a ride to the airport.

[peace13]

3. Can you tell me again

why the pastie old white guys have all the power. Just askin'. KIm

[lyonn]

9. My thoughts exactly while watching the Gates hearing this a.m.

Can't bush find anyone under 70 yrs. to fill an important position? Our Congress is looking ancient too. Might as well bring back all of Reagan/Bush admin. appointees.

Rove was on C-span this a.m. and it occurred to me while he was sounding off about how important everything bushco has done was sooo important, that, the repubs need to run that "brainy" fellow for president! Let's see how far Rove could go on his own name. Better yet, Sec. of Defense! Hell, he is so smart he should have one of those high profile jobs so we can see him out in the open instead of hiding behind bush's back.

Edit: Just thought I'd mention I've got some Age on me too, therefore have a right to complain!

14. These are all Republican retreads dating from the JFK assassination.

These are retreads getting rewards.

Many were there in 1963, then there was Watergate, then Iran-Contra. In between we had many massacres in Central American, the start of fancy weapons that were probably designed with we citizens in mind, and the concept of spying on us, plus the generation of corpratoe world owning the Middle East.

If you are loyal and have no conscience, you get rewarded time and again or eventually.

How rich are these people?

I bet there are at least two dozen people who have been rewarded for Iran-Contra by being selected for PNAC or the WH or a nice ceo/lobbyist/right wing foundation job.

[Skidmore]

10. Old retreads from other disgraceful eras in recent history--

Watergate and Iran-Contra. I keep saying that Nixon was the gift that keeps on giving. I've come to the conclusion that America will only stand a chance when these old criminals die out. Noone has been willing to put them where they belong--in maximum security prisons and lose the key.

[tridim]

15. Is Cheney 'antiqued'? If not, he's the whitest man on earth.

I see no signs of any bloodflow on his entire head.

[villager]

4. Why am I reminded of "Godfather II?"

n/t

[acmavm]

6. I notice Dick isn't doing his usual 'snarly' face.

[Jacobin]

8. There is no question who the Alpha Dog is in this confrontation

Cheney is showing his tummy.

:rofl:

[leveymg]

11. Just what is so flipping impressive about James Baker the 3rd?

If he's America's Alpha pack leader, then this country is ready to be taken down by a pack of skinny house cats.

Or baby ducks

[Jacobin]

13. He OWNS Cheney

Who said it was 'impressive?'

Merely an observation of animals in nature.

[catmandu57]

12. Beautiful isn't it

I'd like to hear what's going on in that nasty bastards head.

17. Wonkette: Baker to Bush: Everybody hates you; Ignore Cheney

Crazy Web Claims Pretty Much Confirmed By Newsweek

We found this insane story last week about James Baker III shouting down Cheney and Bush 43 (in a fetal position) in some Godfather-style Oval Office takeover meeting right before the election. It was allegedly told by Newsweek’s Richard Wolffe to Chris Matthews during Election Night coverage, live on MSNBC at 4:30 a.m. — of course there are no transcripts, no YouTube evidence, etc.


...

1) Baker informed Junior bush First of all - “EVERYBODY HATES YOU.” This amazed & humbled Junior bush. Baker was NOT alone with Junior bush was confronted with the above issues. Baker - “The people HATE YOU.” Junior bush turned white, the blood leaving his face, turning White - visible drawing up as in FETAL with his hands clasped in his lap.

2)Baker - ” you KNOW your not a leader - Your a Cheerleader.” Those in the room gave a silent - YA you got that right - it’s about time he was told the TRUTH!!!

3) Baker asked for and received a list of his advisors- and MARKED THROUGH those advisors to IGNORE - ALL ADVISORS WERE ELIMINATED AS ADVISORS TO JUNIOR bush.

...

5) Ignore Cheney - Cheney got up at a meeting and flailing arms while espousing what should be done (about Iraq) Junior bush told Cheney VERY FIRLMY to “sit down and be quiet.” After 30 minutes of sitting quietly Cheney left. Nobody has EVER talked to Cheney in this way - ((and lived???)) - HAH!!!

18. Cheney's thinkin,"Just wait 'til I have Georgie out of my way"

We'll see who gets walking papers"
