Keith and "Countdown Contributor" John Dean review Dick Cheney's memoir, "In My Time." The former Vice President throws truth -- and nearly everybody he worked with -- under the bus. Dean, former Nixon White House Counsel and author of "Worse than Watergate" and "Conservatives Without Conscience," discusses many of the revelations, including Cheney's personal attacks on former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice. Cheney told NBC News that "there are going to be heads exploding all over Washington.

1. I spent a lot less time reading the NY Times review of this piece of shit...

which said the only revelation was where the "undisclosed locations" were.

Other than that, it's spin, lies, justifications, some getting even, and mostly just plain bullshit.

2. It's a good book for another reason

It could be used in the trials of the Bush White House for WAR CRIMES and CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

One comment I remember from Dastardly Dick a few years back, in talking about our serviceman;

"So what? They volunteered."

The multiple deployments into a war zone these sociopaths forced upon our best and brightest is, in itself, a WAR CRIME.

As Richard Clarke has said, these people should not be allowed in polite society. That reminds me of another Cheney quote, in regards to failures that led to 9/11 and Richard Clarke's role; "Boy he sure got that one wrong, didn't he? Nice thing to say after this criminal Bush WH BLEW OFF Clarke's REPEATED concerns all the way past Sept 11!

Not prosecuting this bunch is yet another area where our PTB and Institutions have fucked over the future of the US and the World. Said it here before, a lot, some day in the future we'll be stupid enough to elect a President that ISN'T as NICE and WISE as the GWB cretins, and they'll start WW3!

If I was a younger person, I'd go out and kill my entire generation for wrecking any hope for today's young people to enjoy the possibility of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (I'm 57)

3. Agree

It's going to be useful as evidence. It appears to be a confession of guilt.

5. I didn't read it, but...........

Vinnie Bugliosi's 2007? book; "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder", would also come in handy for GWB's future trials.

Funny that book, which I haven't read, didn't resonate more here on the good ole' DU?

8. You're looking back! You're looking back! You're supposed to only look forward.

If you look back, you might see what' gaining on us.

4. He needs to be brought to justice

There is no disputing that fact.

7. Get with the program.

We should "look forward".

6. Great 'analysis' of cheney by Dean, 'authoritarian' etc.

9. Good segment/clip with Dean....Man, I sure miss Olbermann & Countdown-can't get him...

Countdown still the best show on television. Keith Olbermann is a great interviewer his show is always entertaining, accurate, informative & constantly insightful with Olbermann's clever dry wit, which can be lost by many if not really paying attention....

Man,I have to see Countdown/Current TV of clips, bits & pieces here & there, etc. on the Internet....because the fucking republican CEO of my cable company (Suddenlink) right-wing assholes out of republican shithole Texas....Suddenlink refuses to offer their subscribers who pay the bills for Suddenlink, Current TV - (Many have petitioned & called and they gives us this bullshit excuse). - These republicans only want their point of view as much as possible to be heard as they wrap themselves up for show in the flag, the lying hypocritical propagandist!

By shoving Fox "news" down everyones throats, via their cheapest subscriber package, as well as Dish & DirecTV (and other cable corporations) who do the exact same thing with Fox, giving it to everyone through their cheapest package.......yet they all force one to pay the much higher costing packages just to be able to view Current TV or MSNBC....

This is done on purpose of course by these republican CEO - telecommunication corporations.

No wonder why Fox gets more viewers it's offered cheaper and even free by some of these same telecommunication corporations the same corporations that feed millions of dollars to the slimy elitist republican party.

10. At first, I thought it was

astounding that Cheney would come out with this book admitting all the horrible things he ordered done leading up to and including the admitted false reasons for the Iraqi war. But on second thought there must be a deluge of books coming out, together with the Wikileaks revelations, that could send him and Bush to the Hague for war crimes.
