Mondale rips Cheney for giving bad advice to Bush
POSTED: 12:54 p.m. EST, January 19, 2007

ATHENS, Georgia (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney has bullied federal agencies and given absurd advice about the nation's risk and Iraq, Walter Mondale said Friday.

Mondale said behavior such as Cheney's never would have been tolerated when Mondale was vice president.

"If I had done as vice president what this vice president has done, Carter would have thrown me out of there," Mondale said. "I don't think he could have tolerated a vice president over there pressuring and pushing other agencies, ordering up different reports than they wanted to send us. I don't think he would have stood for it."

1. But Carter was a man who was President

what we have now cannot be called a man, can it?

2. I don't think that Carter would have tolerated Mondale shooting someone in the face, either

I'm on the Jon Stewart one-line as far as Cheney goes: He shot someone in the face! He shot someone in the face!

If that is not bad enough for the american people, how can you ever expect them to care about things like Halliburton?

3. Given that he shot someone in the face ...

Given that he was so reckless and intense that he shot someone in the face, is it any wonder that he has bullied so many civil servants into changing their position papers on intelligence and other war related issues.
