Did Dick Cheney Give Bush Plausible Deniability?

I thought this was an insightful analysis of Dick Cheney's philosophy on presidential power.

Suskind argues that Cheney concluded from his perch at the White House during those years that Nixon fell not because of his abuse of government — he asked agencies such as the IRS and the FBI to shadow his enemies. Or because of the break-in of the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee by criminals with ties to CREEP (The Committee To Re-Elect the President). Or even because of the cover-up.

Suskind believes Cheney concluded that Nixon had been “overbriefed” and that his aides had failed to give him “plausible deniability.” And so, a la Suskind, that is what Cheney set out to give George W. Bush.

So, is it just one dipshit posting so many retarded messages or is LilPuss helpin' out anonymously, as well? Surely, there are more liberal blogs that would not have to force themselves to respond to your non sequitur bullshit. Fade away you fucking troll.

The guy who calls BIGDOG LilPuss is clearly a KKFI boofer (definition #5). Didn't you know that gay sex is bad for your health?

When you and I have sex, you will see it's actually bad for YOUR health, my little sugar plum.
