1. Wow

[FiveGoodMen]

2. Maybe if he was tried for war crimes Newsweek would get off his bandwagon.

The legacy of 'looking ahead'

[MinneapolisMatt]

3. He's already served two terms.

n/t

[Echo In Light]

13. Indeed

[gratuitous]

4. So would a Cheney trial for crimes against humanity

In fact, I'd be willing to say that the trial would be even better for the country than any further political forays by the Cheney clan.

[w4rma]

5. I agree. He should run. A President Cheney, however, would be bad for the country. (nt)

[bdamomma]

6. ...................

:puke:

[katsy]

7. uh oh

:puke:

sorry.

Neocons are seriously deranged. They spew the most outrageous and dangerous ideas I have ever heard.

[BR_Parkway]

8. The "run" would be very good for the country, if he actually won, the total

opposite

[Wapsie B]

9. Thing is right now he's most likely the front-runner for the gop nomination.

Does anyone have the guts to make him stand trial for war crimes? My money's on no.

[WCGreen]

10. He couldn't campaign with his what five by-asses....

Moot oint...

BTW, I don't think the dems treated GW at any time as the GOP did to Cliton and now Obama...

[Solly Mack]

11. Sickening

Just plain sickening. Cheering a war criminal...and Meacham probably sees himself as a decent person. Which he so obviously isn't...

[marmar]

12. If that country is HADES !!!!

[immoderate]

14. There's not enough security to cover his campaign.

Imagine the demonstrations.

[zbdent]

15. only if there were truly a "liberal media" ...

and any actual investigations uncovering anything would be released to the general population ...

[Morning Dew]

16. Cheney, the heartbeat of America.

[Lord Helmet]

17. no thanks

:puke:

[Prism]

18. It'd be political ipecac

We'd get all the ugly out once and for all, and we'd probably be much better for it.

(Assuming he has a snowball's chance in hell. If he actually won, god help us.)

[saltpoint]

19. You know, I think I'll just pass on a Cheney-for-2012 effort.

It's hard to put my finger on it, but I just don't feel drawn to the guy.

[spanone]

20. breaking news....newsweek editor is out of his ever-loving, fucking mind

[Auggie]

21. ROFL

:rofl:

[Octafish]

22. Sneer is running the country, anyway.

CIA assassins, for instance.

[NYC Liberal]

23. Actually - I agree with him.

Deadeye Dick's approval was in the low teens last time I looked.

If Cheney was the GOP nominee, he would unite the country more than anyone in a long time...against him. Can you say "50 State Sweep" in 2012 for Obama? How about "Electoral Vote: Obama, 538 Cheney 0"?

Better yet, maybe he can pick Newt Gingrich for his VP and bump Obama's popular vote up to 70%.

Ok, slightly exaggerating here but you get the picture! We should SUPPORT Cheney's run!

[ShortnFiery]

24. ...

:wow:

[EFerrari]

26. Meacham has a dry as dust sense of humor.

I guess we don't get "wry" any more.

[Bucky]

25. I think I agree with Newsweek: I would love it if the Republicans nominated Ol Birdshot.
