Primary Election Risks -The “Wyoming Whine: Dick Cheney Should Be Ashamed
The Wyoming Whine
Former veep Dick Cheney is not looking good, to both Republicans and Democrats with his constant public attacks on the Obama administration. Make no mistake about it -Cheney has every right to speak out, but his cynical suggestions that Obama is making America less safe smell of bitterness and some jealousy.
And his actions also help to create imagery abroad that former leaders, with agendas, can take cheap shots, at without consequences. In this case, the consequences are a further evaporation of the little respect that remains for the former Veep, even from hard-line supporters.
Primary Risks?
Ok. Only 15 percent, maybe 20 percent will vote in the Pa. Primary Tuesday. What a miss! If you care about increased taxes. municipal waste, crime, law and disorder, it would be a good idea to vote. This election will decide your financial future (school board races), your legal rights (judges), the state of criminal cases (DA’s race in Philadelphia) and much more that affect you in a very direct and local way. Miss voting for a day in the sun? You’re on your own. Don’t complain about these issues
NFL – How much power?
The NFL bunch is at it again, trying to stop efforts for legal sports gambling in Delaware. The NFL thrives on the “unspoken ” appeal of gambling. Point spreads are published everywhere. The NFL thrives on illegal gambling. If Delaware wants to make it legal, so what?
Some Fans Fickle Over Phillies
Before this weekend I was amazed again over eome of the fans who were already bemoaning a “lost” Phillies season. I mean, were these same fans around during the World Series? Of course, that was before Saturday’s double=header sweep of the Washington Nationals. Frontrunning is not an attractive attribute. Is it?

Cheney was vp to the president with the worst ratings in history. His were even lower (I’ll be generous and say in the teens). Does this moron think his opinion means anything to anyone except his small core of peabrained supporters?
Thank God Cheney spoke out, it casued Obama to rethink the hairbrained scheme of rushing to close Guantanamo and bring the terroists to U.S soil. Obama now even wants to keep tirbunals and not release the photos. He is smart enough to know when he’s wrong, and the vice president is still keeping America safe be being courageously outspoken and correct, something Larry Kane will never be.
Larry-No need to worry about our image abroad,Obama has already apologized to just about everyone.If I remember correctly,he did it without using a teleprompter.That’s one speech he’s got down pat.
Larry, FINALLY a new topic!! But what you fail to realize is America is safer because of the service of Dick Cheney. Why won’t you give him the respect he deserves? History will judge Cheney as a visionary, it’s just a shame you’ll be long gone by then. You’re old.
The Liberal Whine is what we’re hearing from Larry. He’s more worried than Obama what foreign governmnets think. When was the last time he was in Europe to see for himself? He just gets his information from the New York Times. Who gives a damn what Europeans think anyway, we’ve been protecting them since WWII. Larry, perhaps the U.S. should have appeased Hitler too, it would have raised the German’s opinion of us, but I doubt you’d be here to report on how much the Germans admired Americans and their president. Maybe we should have appeased Japan and Korea and apoligized to them too. It obvious Larry is so giddy with Obamaism that he just felt the need to take a slap at the former vice president, who has already been proven to be correct by Obama’s own admission. The big story of the week was Nancy Pelosi and CIA-gate, but not a peep about that from Larry. it was actually this weeks big political news, so if he didnt have an agenda he would examine that, but he does have an agenda, he’s a tool of the left wing media- a very liberal tool at that.
Gallop poll- 51% of Americans now define themselves as pro-life. Dead terrorist and live babies make liberals very nervous, mid term elections will rebuke Spector, the tide has already begun to turn. Obama can only reach greatness with a Rupublican congress, the democrats; Pelosi, Frank et al like to kill and eat their young -Obama is on their menu as dark meat special du jour.
Don’t worry about our image, Obama has apologized to everyone..and our enemies. I still support his as President. But as a Viet Nam Vet., I totally support Waterboarding and anything else we need to do. Our enemies are cutting off heads while we apologize for taking photos. Our “freedoms” are eventually going to destroy us….as our enemies do not play on the same field. Thankfully Cheney and Bush were in the right place…at the right time.
We should know the Chaney tactics by now, if you are worried about an issue, attack first and hope you can squash it before it gets to you. There is more and more evidence that the torture and forced interrogation movements started in Chaney’s office, the Chaney way to stop any furhter investif=gation of evidence that would lead to him, is to attack and attack and drive off the investigators. It worked for most of his administration (is there any reason to keep calling it the Bush Administration, given that Dick clearly called the shots when Bush wasn’t paying attention?) when it came to questions of who pushed the CIA to make up evidence of WMD and Iraqi connections to Bin Laden, he has every reason to believe that he can do it again, especially with the media power of the Limbaugh network.
Strange atp2007 sounds eerily like jack russell and misspells his name the same way. Coincidence I think not.
I don’t care about torture anymore, I want these people dead. Maybe some of you people need to loose a few friends to terrorists like I did in the World Trade Center. You might have a different opinion. We always protect the terrorists and never the victim. Let’s put all these people from Gitmo in Philadelphia and see how much you bleeding heart liberals care then. Isn’t it funny that after Obama took office, he’s decided to do some of the same things the Bush administration did. This President stuff isn’t that easy. At least they kept us safe. If God forbid, we ever have another terrorist attack, none of you will care about the cost of gas, or the bailout, or whether Spector is now a Democrat, you’ll be looking for your loved ones. F the ACLU.
Well, Larry, I think you’ve got an issue here with causation. Your observation begs the question. I think the NFL would do quite well without illegal gambling. On the other hand, illegal gambling might not do so well without the NFL.
Larry, your blog has been infiltrated by imposters and GOP stooges. I think this new “Dave” may well be the rogue blogger who was wreaking havoc in your last post. It’s embarrassing that you haven’t been able to prevent such shenanigans from occurring here, although it might help if you were to offer somewhat more thoughtful posts.
You’re right to call out Dick Cheney. When people criticized Dubya back in 2003/04 for invading Iraq and making America less safe by creating more militants through his actions, Cheney claimed that the criticism was “aid and comfort” to our enemies. Really? If so, let’s prosecute Cheney for treason and get this over with. He and Scooter Libby could twist in the wind together at the end of long, long ropes.
Keep up the fight for FREE AIR, Larry. Don’t let the GOP goons who post here dissuade you from pursuing that goal.
I continue to receive personal communiques from friends, families and professional colleagues suggesting that terminate this website. Even though I appear to pay very little attention to what goes on here nothing could be further from the truth. I spend every waking minute monitoring what goes on here. In fact on occasion I have been known to join the conversation as a mythical character such as a founding father, an 18th century pirate or a local political figure. In fact I use to enjoy dressing up in my mother’s clothes when I was younger. I particulary enjoyed high heels. I’m not quite sure how women do it. Anyway. I’m not quite sure who is more pathetic John or Elizabeth Edwards. Clearly John is a low rent hound dog test driving women around the US in search for next Mr Edwards. You would think a stage four cancer patient like Elizabeth would maintain her dignity and go quietly. Instead she is enabling this sorry SOB by flying around the country appearing on every TV show selling her book and mitigating the situation. Why? Larry King? Oh brother. This reminds me of a certain Philadelphia newscaster back in the 80’s. He too was a hound dog. He too was always on the prowl. He too was shameless. I remember we were in the same foursome at a charity golf tournament at Merion CC. Each hole he was recording what we thought was our best ball score. Around the 8th hole I asked him what we were shooting. I was en fuego. Drilling drives. Beautiful faiway iron shots. Dropping putts. He says I thought you were keeping score. I say I’m carrying this team. I need to keep score too? Now my curiosity is killing me. So what are you recording each hole if not the score? He replies that he is remembering and writing down phone numbers of female members of the press he’s hit on as well as country club employees. I told him to drive the cart and get his head into the game. The Vince Leonard team was going to be tough to beat and we needed him focusing on golf. These guys that think they are God’s gift to women. There was a time in the 70’s where Larry Kaighn had to beat women off with a stick. A real ladies man. High Karate cologne. In high demand. I fought the urge. Now so can this jamoke. Oh brother. Vince Leonard’s team beat us by 3 strokes that day. I never played with the ladies man again. I still smell faint traces of the High Karate everytime I get into a golf cart at Merion though.
Leo-You’re calling for a lynching ? Hmmm.
we can forgive rogue nations and release external terrorists but we must prosecute internalterrorists to the maximum extent of the law.
No, YBP, I’m calling for a trial. There’s a big difference there. You can look it up in a book. Just because I think they’ll be convicted and hanged doesn’t mean I’m calling for a lynching. Don’t attribute viewpoints to me that aren’t mine to try to score cheap point. Don’t sock puppet me either: I don’t want anyone’s hand up my hole.
oeL-”He & Scooter Libby could twist in the wind together at the end of long,long ropes.” Sure sounds like you’re calling for a lynching.
scooter libby is as treasonous as saco and vanzetti and should be treated as they were. he lied under oath and to the american people. no one is above the law.
YBP, either you’re being 1) sock puppeted by an idiot or 2) incredibly disingenuous. I wrote: If so, let’s prosecute Cheney for treason and get this over with. He and Scooter Libby could twist in the wind together at the end of long, long ropes. I don’t know where prosecution (which is legal process and part of our system of constitutional due process) is a lynching. The form of capital punishment for someone found guilty of treason in our judicial system does not make the punishment a “lynching.” A lynching is what those GOP rednecks did to Mr. Byrd in Texas, taking a man and killing him for sport because of the color of his skin, etc. Sloppy, YBP.
Ah,I’m slow waking up today.Twice I missed “prosecute”.
Leo, you and I are the same person. And I don’t even like you. Stop putting your hand up my ass, fag.
24 Was not me.Clever though.
George likes his chicken spicy! A George divided against himself cannot stand. These pretzels are making me thirsty. Mazel tov!
I like a nice warm hand every now and then when I am working on the federal porkulus.
I saw Leo at noon today. He was wearing a mink coat and heels.
Larry I am aroused by your politics! I can’t stop masturbating!
#29 was not me. I’m not coming back for a week unless Larry fixes things around here.
The answer my friends is blowing on the wind.
The answer is blowing on the wind.
I did not have sex with that woman. The answer is blowing.
But I promise to come back tomorrow if you will make out with me Larry.
How are people supposed to vote in the primary when their news sources don’t inform them what the issues are? Why doesn’t this site focus on the real issues so that people can vote for a sunny day? Pot shots at Chainey and random comments about sports and betting don’t help get people to the polls. I know because I suppress the vote as well as the next guy.
I’m smart. I can make things in italics and I make fun of Larry. George you should come over to meet me with Philbert for some Swine Flu Pork Special. Love you long time.
Where is the beef?
I want to raise taxes on hamburgers in order to pay for libraries that hold books that no one reads.
The gubmint wants to probe you. Stop the scary gubmint. The gubmint makes you eat the 5 lb. block of gubmint cheese.
Larry, it’s not even amusing anymore. I think you’ve got conservative regulars here trying to discredit their opponents from another blog on Philly.com by sock puppeting them. Isn’t that just like a conservative? You can’t win on the merits, so you go ad hominem on your opponent.
I’m going to rule this site within two weeks,mark my words.And there will be lots of words
My friends I would like to comment on this blog. You see my friends it is my opinion that a sickness has settled on it. Maverick.
Look at me! I’m a genius!

I knew all about this weeks ago. Toot my horn. Love me. FREE AIR!
You’re a big fish in a small pond.Congrats !
I know. Isn’t it great? Everyone loves me so I keep posting here.
I’m not gay but my boyfriend other, other, other jim is.
Larry, I can barely even tell which posts are actually mine, I’m being sock puppeted so much. Please fix your once proud forum.
Hey, Larry, look at No. 66. That sock puppeter couldn’t even spell my name correctly backwards. Even your sock puppeters are slipping in quality these days.
I’m watching the Red Wings tonight. LET’S GO, RED WINGS!
Larry, the RED WINGS are cruising. Take some tips from Ken Holland.
Larry I’m a tool. I weigh 435 lbs. and I live in my mother’s basement. I only leave to stroke Philbert and eat fat scraps from the stalls at Reading Terminal Market. I secretly know that the GOP is the best party with the best ideas for our country but I’m such a loser that I pretend I don’t like them even though I have a Bill O’Reilly loofah that I use on my cellulite.
This blog is ded,d-e-d,ded.
I love the primaries. I am going to be a judge!
Aye th’ scabby Philadelphians ‘ll have fit government thinks I. And, mark me words, no hangings for piracy. Arrrrrr.
I’m gay… There I said it, can we move on now?
http://www.jsonline.com/features/religion/45191277.html
It’s not a crime if you say Hail Mary.
No one pays any attention to me anymore. You know. Swine flu. I’m still here. I’m going to get your children and your elderly.
Philbert do you want to come out and play?
Glad to see Leo is finally being true to himself. No one should live in the closet. Take it from me.
Will the last one to post here please turn out the lights.
I like Cheney and I love dicks!
Nanette, I am aroused by your posts. Allow me to bring the other jims for a night of boy butter churning.
It’s been a week and a day and I see Larry has not done anything to filter the crap and imposters from the site. None of the “George” posts were mine in the last week, and the regulars know that. This nimrod must really be jealous of Leo and me given his need to impersonate us, its pretty sad, but clearly Larry doesn’t care.
Since nothing has been done to fix the site I am leaving and will no longer post under the pseudonym “George” anything written under that name after this post will not be me, and frankly half of what has been posted under that name recently has not been me. This site has become just one big circle jerk- lead by LArry Kane- I’m not into that.
Good luck to my friends here. I think the smart ones will leave too, and Larry can reap what he has sewed with his idiotic policy of blog site neglect.
George,
It’s probably for the best that you leave. Intellectually you were never able to keep up in our arguments. I felt like you were slowing us down at times. Maybe after a few weeks of reading Will Bunch and his arguments, you can come back here a little more educated.
George, come back! If you want Leo can lead our circle jerk from now on and you can be our power bottom!
Larry I am returning because I emphatically accept your offer to be the power bottom.
Thank you, Web Security. It’s been several days since I posted here because things have been devolving more rapidly and viciously than is usual for this blog. However, I don’t think you have much cause to notify the FCC as this is not being transmitted on public airwaves. Look it up.
Lets not talk about Ponzzi schemes anymore, its just a bad market, just get over it and move on! I have a proud family name to protect.
Leo Bloom, are you that fellow from the Producers? Do you think a play about Hitler is funny? I think it is sick, worse than defrauding invetors, and its getting the Germans all stirred up, and we don’t want that to happen again, they are so mean and vindictive sometimes, especially if you steal their money and lie to them. Why is Mel Brooks such an anti semite Leo?
8 days a week, Larry you want to sell this a blog to Sonny Lee,Sonny Lee give a this blog a new life.
I blow you guys up… kim thinks its funny. Joe Biden said I test Obama in first six months. So this is what i do, i test your president. Funny to make him get out of bed in middle of the night, Kim surprised black man gets up out of bed and leaves a pretty woman, but Kim make him do that, now Obama mad at Kim, but who cares, he just talks,talks talks, he not blow up kim. I just mock him…. ha haa haa haha, i wear high heels and watch porno now… you think I’m kidding,,, that’s what kim do,,, it so funny…i am Dr evil like mike myers, except Kim for real!
you americans smell funny. sunny lee, you be my rick shaw driver, you be my chineese bitch boy-okay? good- you lucky i hire, you smell good like clean wok?
Sonny Lee and George are lovers! I make a movie about them and then I set off nuclear bomb -the end- hhahahahahha. Sonnny and george, chinky chinky china boys, sitting in a rick shaw…..Kim not too creative like rosie odonell, she call asians chinky chinky china, but that okay, cause she lessie lessie lesbo!
I blow Hubble telescope out of space and land it in north Korea, then I put more rockets on it and ride it back into space. Kim going to dress up in heels and look through the telescope.
Larry Kane is in Ventnor with all his friends this Memorial weekend. He has writers block, so dont expect too much from him, and don’t mention that in here, because it gives him even greater performance anxiety. He’s angry about resturant prices “down the shore”, they charge new york prices for crap, so a lot of times he’ll just order a Sacco Subs hoagie or chesse steak, then spend the rest of the night talking about how good it was and wondering out loud where do they get those rolls? Mrs Kane will finally ask him to shut up about it and tells him next time in Ventnor they’re going to the nice resturants her friends go to no matter what the cost.
Larry’s new favorite show is John & Kate plus Eight. He is rushing back from the shore right now to see the season premeire tonight. He’s fascinated by the voyeristic aspects of reality television and enjoys wathing their marriage fall apart, not thats there’s anything wrong with that, most of america will be watching their train wreck in order to feel better about themselves. It’s called Shadenfreude, Larry takes particular delight in it with regard to politics and other newscasters, but we all engauge in it to some degree. For Larry, schadenfreude is an artform, anyone who reads what he writes will see what Kim means. I crazy, but I know what I talk about- this schadenfreude!
Kim Jong Il you disgrace Sonny Lee,Sonny Lee send son Brice Lee to kick a you korean ass you only five foot tall bahahahaha.
Larry you contact Sonny Lee attorney Goldstein,Greenberg&Lee they make a deal for blog Sonny Lee give new life.
George,Sonny Lee give you free ride rickshaw ride that is,introduce you to one of my a girls Cum Lee.
Larry, you should be ashamed of this site and what it has become. You should really be ashamed of your inaction and what has transpired. Hang your head, Larry.
Larry, where did the posts go? About half of them vanished. Not that there’s anything wrong with deleting the sock puppets’ material.
Larry your blog is awaiting moderation..
Leo, does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to deletions.
This blog has the same atmosphere that CBS3 did after the Lane-Mendte scandal wiped out their top talent. All we need are the bikini photos.
Larry, do you have a problem with people posting… using fictitious names? You shouldn’t. You have been living with a fictitious name your whole life. If you had any balls at all you would live your life with the name you were born with.
Larry I can’t believe that you selective editted out posts and left this nonsense. You have a lot of nerve editting out Larry Kaighn. More people come here for my posts then yours my friend.
Grow a pair and clean up this mess for good.
