Released by his doctors from his spider hole to growl about the Obama Administration not keeping us safe — takes one to know one, I suppose — Dick Cheney spoke at a private American Enterprise Institute dinner at the Charlie Palmer steakhouse on Capitol Hill. In this morning’s WaPo0nline Chat, Paul Kane describes what he saw from the bar.
Paul Kane: …On Tuesday night I went to a small party at Charlie Palmer steakhouse on Capitol Hill, and afterwad [sic], sitting at the bar, I saw the breakup of a separate event in the restaurant, an AEI dinner with Cheney as the speaker. Had to be about 25 House Republicans there to hear him speak, based on all the Rs I saw pouring out of the restaurant.
Interestingly, not a single member of leadership attended, and, more interestingly, no Senate Republicans attended.
Those in attendance read like a Who’s Who of — depending on your political persuasion — the Conservative Movement or the Right Wing Fringe Caucus.
Bachman [sic], Steve King, Jeff Flake, Louie Gohmert, and then some.
It was apparently a very dry discussion of Iran and Iraq, but I find the attendees to be interesting. That’s Cheney’s people these days.
House leadership has learned not to listen to Cheney’s poisonous ideas. No United States Senators bother to hear him spill his wrong-headed ideas about keeping America safe.
Which means that Darth can throw out raw meat for the elected fringe. Bachmann, King, Flake and Goehmert: the Crazies for Cheney Caucus. Go GOP!
UPDATE: You should probably read the pointed commentary today at Dependable Renegade on the subject of Darth.

What’s that old line about being known by the company you keep?
I’ll bet there were alot more Flakes there than just Jeff.
You know if He, ” meaning dirty darth Dick,” was clanking His tin cup on the bars of His prison cell, making music with Carl Rove, and Rummy he wouldn’t be there talking so those guys could listen.
If the loonies hadn’t voted those guys in to congress, they wouldn’t be there to listen.
Some people in our country love and marry murderers even while in prison, so I guess the Republicans are just part of our diversity.
Letting a mad dog sleep in bed with you is asking to eventually be bitten.

A loving family would shelter Dick Cheney from his outbursts, limiting his access to the press and these events. He would have a phone that was limited to several similarly-minded friends, with access to a coupla newspaper columnists (eg, Krauthammer and Novak) who share his views.
I blame Cheney’s family for letting him rage on in his dotage. It’s not like he has a legacy to tarnish, but it’s simply undignified.
The family is just like HIm, so they drive Him to His speeches, and say go Dick.
Look at that Bimbo daughter of His, a female Darth Vader. Her lulu is probably as crooked as daddies mouth is.
We can see Her brain has been infected.
it……..is……..ALIVE!
ALIVE——-Free to flap it’s lips——-and out to cause more trouble and pain. Freeze it that killed the blob didn’t it.
I think Dick will probably live forever. That kind of evil never dies, and his technological enhancements only prolong our agony.
If the Force is with us, Keef (sic) or Rachel will have this retired military guy on to respond to cheeeeeeeny’s (h/t tweety) allegations:

Interesting post, Teddy!
Mika Brzinski (?sp) today on ‘Morning Joe’** looked like she had a migraine after watching the Cheney clip and said something like, “Shouldn’t he just take a Chill Pill?”
Heh ;-))
