Cheney Surprise

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Our first CPAC “Dirty Dozen” profile, inspired by Dick Cheney Makes Surprise Appearance At CPAC, Re-Uses Past Line (Huffington Post 2/18/10), Excited GOP: Energy on the right, divisions within (WashingtonPost.com 2/18/10).

Dick Cheney made a surprise appearance

To the great delight of his CPAC adherents

“Cheney 2012!” yelled one, and Cheney flashed a huge smile

(He hasn’t had a reception like that in a while).

“A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office again,” he teased,

Apparently at the suggestion quite pleased.

“I think 2010 is going to be a phenomenal year for the conservative cause,” he avowed,

“And I think Barrack Obama is a one-term president,” throwing red meat to the crowd.

I notice that this time you waited until Joe wasn’t around to spoil the celebration

(He’s in Canada leading the US Olympic delegation).

Here are Dick Cheney’s remarks.
