Late Nite FDL: Dickfest Semifinals, Night 4
He spun his tale on Fox with Hume
Employed his famous Voice of Doom
But no apology was heard
“Sorry” seems to be the hardest word
I’d almost forgotten about this one. The fine folks over at firedoglake have been sponsoring Dickfest, a poetry contest dedicated to Dick Cheney’s poor marksmanship and arrogant refusal to come clean except in front of a hand-picked, thoroughly-vetted audience.
The winner gets a copy of Bill Maher’s new book, donated by the master himself. No, it’s not a weekend at the Poughkeepsie Marriott with Aunt Belinda and a vibrating bed, but this might just be enough to stir your creative juices. Me, I’m not a poet (and I know it…snicker….), so I’m going to sit this one out, but I have enjoyed reading the entries.
For those of you who fancy yourself something of a political poet laureate, give it a shot. The contest is open to anyone, and you can have a bit of fun at Big Dick’s expense…and who deserves it more than a public servant whose disdain and contempt for the public he allegedly serves is world class?
Perhaps if Cheney had been a bit more forthcoming, and perhaps if he hadn’t gone running to the Republican Propaganda Network Fox News Channel under duress, I’d be inclined to cut him some slack. Given the ham-handed and dismissive way Cheney has handled this “affair”, he frankly deserves to be roasted. So,fire up the grills….
