Beastly Brown Blasts 'The Big Greasy Paws Of Dick Cheney'

By Mark Finkelstein | March 30, 2011 | 10:46

A  A

For an MSMer attacking a Republican, there's nothing quite like a wild-animal metaphor.  

Witness Newsweek/Daily Beast's Tina Brown, claiming on Morning Joe today that the Obama administration is loath to speak of "regime change" in Libya.  Why?  Because that phrase "has been tainted by the big, greasy paws of Dick Cheney."

View video after the jump.



MIKA BRZEZINSKI: The president also talked of how they're still going to put pressure on Gaddafi to resign.

TINA BROWN: There's semantic nonsense, really, about regime change, because the fact is it's almost as if the phrase, regime change, has been tainted by the big, greasy paws of Dick Cheney.  Nobody wants to say that word, because it is our desire, our goal is to get rid of Gaddafi.

I know Cheney wouldn't wait 9 days to make a decision. Or have Hillary taking the reigns. So how exactly is the kenyan going to change a regime? with HOPE?

Hell, Cheney would be at the Potomac seeing if he could throw rocks at them till the military got there.

Semantic Nonsense?

Is Tina confused about which regime it is "our desire, our goal" to change? The Gaddafi Regime or the Obama Regime?

Speaking of the screencap...Looks like the squirrel in the movie "Ice-Age" that was trying to crack the acorn the whole movie.
