What's Up With Dick Cheney

[Alysser]

I like him because we both have the same first name.

LOL I will admit I got a laugh out of that, a really long and hard one

I think the entire situation is funny. Cheney is most certainly entitled to his opinion, and to express it to anyone who cares to listen. But when he states he would rather have Rush Limbaugh in the Republican party than Colin Powell

Cheney, with 5 deferments, would choose Limbaugh, with a medical deferment for a knee injury or pilonidal cyst – take your pick. On the other hand he could have chosen Powell, 2 tours in Vietnam, 35 years of service to this country.

That's me changing the TV channel. Whether it's a politican, "movie star", sitcom etc...I just shut off what annoys me. .
Haha I agree

Is Powell still a rebublican?

It really doesn't matter to me what political party he belongs to,
but the man has more "class" in his little finger than Dick Cheney has
in his whole body.

It took Dick 6 years to complete his 4 yr degree. (He asked for 6 deferments
to avoid service in Vietnam)

It took Dick 6 years to complete his 4 yr degree.

This has what to do with anything?

I have several very intelligent friends who took longer than the officially sanctioned 4 years to complete their degree.

I have even more friends who I'd count as higly educated who have no degree whatsoever.

I'd request that people use proper forms of address for current and present leaders, but we all know where that went the last time..........

It means something to those of us who were around during the Vietnam Conflict.

It was one way to dodge the draft - student deferment - that along with the Guard - my bil at the time used the Guard. It was not easy to get in the Guard - there was a waiting list and you had to know someone (my late ex-bil was the son of a state trooper and had relatives in the state government.)

There were lots of guys on the six year plan back in those days! Especially if they had a low draft number...

It's a generation thing. Maybe you had to be there to understand it.

There is another thread here in the Dog House where the current president is referred to as "BO" and "Hussein Obama"...

When I see your objection to casual reference to current leaders in that thread I will believe in your sincerity.
