Cheney:
1) The economy? It’s going through a rough patch after 52 months of growth.
2) The wars? The surge is working.
3) Public opinion? So what.

Check it out, though, he’s wearing that flag pin!

Thanks to Salon’s ace Video Dog team for posting this from Scott Bateman. These are Cheney’s thoughts in 1994 on the wisdom of invading Iraq in order to oust Saddam Hussein back in the Desert Storm days, in 1990, when Cheney was working for the first President Bush. The reasoned nature of the comments, the level tone, the concern with casualties and regional instability makes you marvel at the job that’s been done replacing Cheney with an evil clone in the decade since.

Here’s the original.

The thang still works! Americans went to the polls and voted for change and that’s what we’re getting. The Democrats claimed victories across the country. Then Dick Cheney, believing the American people were handing victory to the terrorists, took cover behind his hair-trigger Perazzi-Brescia over-under 28-gauge shotgun and has yet to shoot anybody. Then this morning Sec Defense Rumsfeld, the unpopular befuddled captain of our voyage into Iraq, at last has been asked by the President to step aside. Democratic Rep Nancy Pelosi has become the first woman Speaker of the House. And Britney at last filed for the right to legally allow Kfed to fall off the face of the earth! It all seemed impossible a little while ago, but it only took a first Tuesday of November to flip the script.
