First it was Hope and Crosby, then Rowan and Martin, and now the straight-laced conservative crowd at CPAC (The Conservative Political Action Conference) has its own custom-made comedic duo. Facing a chorus of boos and cheers former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld teamed up once again with straight man (and former VP) Dick Cheney for CPAC’s ”Defender of the Constitution Award” to entertain the assembled horde of Brooks Brothers clad “real men” — and a few women, too. Rumsfeld was not fazed by a few jeers at the mention of his name, and Dick Cheney was positively giddy when attendees yelled, “”Where Bin Laden at?” and “Show us the shackles Dick.” Cheney quipped in reply,” Alright, sit down and shut up.” What a card? Predictably those few dissidents (probably illegal immigrants) were drowned out by the ringing, obligatory chorus of “U.S.A,” U.S.A.”! Good enough for a hockey game; good enough for the CPAC patriots. (Oops, hockey’s Canadian– make that football, damnit) Boy, was Samuel Johnson ever right.
The evening was riotously funny, and almost perfect. In fact, the only joke left hanging was just which constitution Rumsfeld and Cheney et als were “defending.” I am told dinner consisted of crow with a side of irony.

I saw some of the CPAC Comedy Tour and all I could hear was . . .
Great photoshop work. You can’s see the fangs or horns at all.

eniobob,
I liked that the corrupt evil bastard laughed about being a war criminal instead of defending himself.
There is no defending the indefensible.

I don’t get it. Which one is Stiller and which one is Meara??
Talk about the two of the biggest war criminals that are currently being harbored by the Department of Justice’s inaction. Did you hear those laughs, Pres. Obama? They are laughing at you for not prosecuting these criminals.
pardon me? ….that was a great line…..
rafflaw…..good one…
Buddha….are you going to Scarborough fair…..
AY,
Be nice to my favorites, Simon and Garfunkel! I was just listening to their songs while watching a replay of “The Graduate”!
One of my Rummy favorites:
Elaine,
Rummy should be in Vegas!
Cheney looks like death warmed over. Must be all that bile leaking into his pacemaker.
HenMan,
“Cheney looks like death warmed over. Must be all that bile leaking into his pacemaker.”
I think he’s just prepping for his new job.
Not many people realize that “Charon” is a title, not a proper name.
Buddha-
You have put me into a state of bafflement. I don’t know if the “Charon” reference is Greek mythology or Star Wars. Either one is a perfect fit for The Dick.
HenMan,
Charon is the ferryman who takes souls across the Styx and into Hades in Greek mythology.
You have to pay him.
Pardon.
Into the underworld, which is ruled by Hades.
Sorry. Tired. Going to bed now.
When Cheney finally does kick the bucket I wonder if flags will be flown at half-mast ….
Blouise
i wonder how many libraries and post offices will refuse to.
Elaine M
when i was scrolling down and saw the second picture of little dickie it made my heart skip, one of the cats started hissing and the cream in my coffee curdled.
give a little warning next time, o.k.
Allen West CPAC Speech Closes Conservative Conference (VIDEO)
“Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) delivered the keynote address on Saturday night at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference.
Topics discussed in West’s speech encompassed a wide range. From the state of nation’s economy and federal budget to social issues, the congressman covered a lot of ground. He stressed the importance of adhering to conservative principles while also taking time to criticize Democrats.
“Liberal progressivism evolved after our Constitution,” explained West to his audience. “It has repeatedly failed all over the world so why do we think it could be successful here in the United States of America?”
comment makes senses to me,one of many by the way.

If Barack Obama were not President. Allen West would never have been the keynote speaker at CPAC. The same reason why Steele got his post. Just look at how they treated him. Puhleeze.
He may delude himself all he wants, and the posters about his so-called “credentials” can as well.
Get real! I am sure Hailey and the boys just loves them some Allen West! Yeah, sure! ROFL. ”

As I was leaving the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington Thursday, I fell in behind three older gentlemen who, from the volume of their rhetoric, sounded like they had wrapped up the evening in the bar. “We need a guy with fire in his belly, like Teddy Roosevelt,” proclaimed one. “These guys like Mitt Romney and Bobby Jindal.

I wanna refund…
Cheney was only laughing on the outside. Inside he was snarling, “So what are you going to do about it, Bitch”.
Eniobob,
Your Cheney clip from 1 Feb 8:31pm shows a tortured man. The scene at 1minute 32seconds is just… the expression…
He can use his mind to lie to himself until the chickens come home to roost, but in his soul he knows.
The misery he’s brought on countless others has made me turn my back on him. May justice live forever.
Here is a comedy duo that entertains; Happy Valentines Day!
Thanks, CEJ! That was a gem. I’ll be using that “Sometimes like is finger licking good . . . ” line. lol
“life” that is. lol laughing to hard to type
