CNN

[...] while campaigning for Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, President Clinton "laughed off" Cheney's attacks: "I wish him well," Clinton told CNN while greeting [...]

The only way to get Dick Cheney to shut up would be to subpoena him.

Bill should know about target practice...didn't he shoot someone's dress?

You go President Clinton. I mean how bad of a shot do you have to be to shoot someone in the face during hunting. I live in WI where hunting is a part of life and to shoot the person who your hunting with in the face is pretty messed up.

We all love America! But Cheney speaks as if he owns it. In a real and figurative sense, he might have come close. After dodging military service so many times (five deferments), he took so much for himself out the country to make himself a very rich man (note the role of Haliburton–like Bethel Corp before it–and other financial dealings and tax break for the rich under Bush). It is a shame that this man could choose Limbaugh over a four star general who served his country so well and who is so well respected by millions of Americans. Who really is Dick Cheney? Who really is Dick Cheney? I think Ms. Dowd of the New York Times did a very good job of telling us (or reminding us) in her Op-Ed piece of today. It is so ironic that it is this Dick Cheney who is shouting from the roof-top daily now that he loves America more than anyone else in America. Dick Cheney is an inhuman abstract who seems to be consumed by self-individualism. The focus of our debate should not be what interrogation or torture works, but what value we as a nation must and should up-hold. The Republicans are so far doing a good job of deflecting the debate into what works.

HaHa, Bill, I have never ever ........... You are the only president in modern American History who got impeached! Obam, may be the next!

Bill Clinton and Al Gore built a strong economy a strong relationship with other nations, created over 20000 jobs. George bush and Dick Cheney did the complete opposite. This is the difference between the two parties.

Cheney needs to accept the fact that he is dead to us!!! If we were so safe during the Bush administration...why was there even a 9-11??

And...why were the bin laden family members allowed to leave the US when all air traffic was grounded??

Cheney, Bush, Condi....move on people...

the problem was that Bush wanted to be in charge when in reality Dick was in charge...isnt that the way it always is?

This is hilarious. Dick Cheney is scaring the heck out of liberals because he is telling the truth and the American people who actually follow politics believe him. Also, they want the answer for the Republican Party to be to move left. The fact is that people are going to be tired of the Obama spending spree by 2012 and the Republican Party will come back to power. This will only happen if they are a clear alternative to the left. Therefore, moving closer to the center is the worst idea for the GOP at this point. Also, I agree with MidwestGuy. Somebody needs to remind Bill that the Clinton Adminstration is over too.

This cracks me up when the Libs get in a tizzy when a Republican wants the truth to be known. You notice that Obama released only half the memo and not what benefits became of waterboarding. If you liberals say you do not agree to torture, even if it saved one of your kids you are even more pathetic than I imagined. BTW what will your comeback be if we are attacked again? Let's hope the last 7 1/2 years put a stop to it. Another little question for you libs, why was the world told of these "new" photo's of torture and Obama gets the chance to tell his people AKA the Mainstream media not to release them. Notice Bush didn't get that luxury? Ah, gotta love the spin.

After the Bush administration does anyone care that Bill Clinton cheated on his wife? Seriously, anyone??

Frankly, we don't hear nearly enough from Bill anymore
Love that guy.

Someone should remind Mr. Cheney that it was the awful hatred and derogatory words and acts by the likes of Dick Armey, Tom DeLay, Newt Gingrich, and all the talking heads of Fox News, plus the antics and brandings by Rush Limbaugh (remember Hillary's "feminazi" label - that brought down the Republicans. Nor did they need the help of George W. Bush AND Dick Cheney and his family to drive the final nail. And now they're trying to sing the same song, second verse. But as Ann Richards once wisely pointed out: "That old dog ain't gonna' hunt." It's a new day, a new President, and time for Cheney to take a page from Bush's play book and disappear.

Gee Bill, didn't you fire a load into the face of a White House aide? But, I would go into a strip bar with you Bill and find us some skanks to play with while our "mommy" Hillary is hard at work.

Got to love those short-memory, bitter liberals! They remember EVERYTHING!

For all those hating on President Clinton lets just remeber that under his watch we had a strong economy and were at peace. Under the Bush/Cheney administration we had an attac k on New York, the worst economy in the last five years and our image was tarnished around the world.

Why do I keep coming to this site and expecting to read news?

And what is up with all of these new catch phrases, "repugnants," "rehuligans"?

Seriously? What are these people 12 years old???

Am I, somehow, suppose to take an empty regurgitation of what you have heard from some other idiot seriously?

Bill's still got it.

If Limbaugh runs with Cheney in 2012, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll both have heart attacks (not as unlikely as you think) or Rush will die of an Oxy overdose.

"Bloody Bill" Clinton .....a modern day Caligula

The Torture Tour with Richard Bruce Cheney – not promoted by ShamedNation.

The terrorist planned, organized, directed, and controlled the attack on 9/11 while Clinton was President. The terroist carried out numerous attacks on American Interest, including The Twin Towers in New York while Clinton was President. You liberals bend and twist your limited brain power to beat up on Cheney and Bush who had to deal with the total incompetance of Bill Clinton and his Incredible Hulk Gore by fighting the terrorist who grew from a hole in a mountain while Clinton was President, to a world wide Jihad by the end of his do nothing administration. Bush grew the econmony 10 times over Clinton/Gore but you fools wouldn't know it. The entire mess we are in was due to Clinton & Gore.

Bill Clinton left a big pie when he left, but Bush and Cheney ate it all, and then some more.
I'd take the 2 men who only hurt their wives -altho I don't condone it-(Clinton and Spitzer) over the two war criminals who hurt an entire nation and brought it to its knees: Bush and Cheney.
Still love you Bill, and I'm a fan of Hillary as well!

To LJ:

At least when Clinton lied, no one died.

Shooting his hunting partner in the face sums up Cheney to a T. He thinks he's a hawk on security, but he clearly can't handle a gun as well as he talks about being a tough guy, with that knowing, infallible smirk of his. Cheney is a screw up, pure and simple.

He's the funniest rapist in the country.

Bill Clinton? The great idiot who created this financial disaster we are in today by getting rid of the Glass-Steagal Act? The guy who let Bin Laden kill Americans at will without having to run and hide and set us up for 9/11 and the mess we are in today in Afghanistan? Not to mention WHITWATER scandal and the rose law firm.....what is the Clinton Body Count up to these days...I think I should do an interent search on that ...feel free to look it up yourself.

Now that I think about it, Dick Cheney shouldn't be allowed to own a gun after "accidentally" shooting his partner.

How in the world does someone shoot another person while hunting quail that have been captured and are being contained with fences and nets?!!!

That is scary and he should be brought up on charges.

Cheney has had more than enough "target practice":

http://michaelfury.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/clock-stoppers/

Cheney and his daughter needs to go somewhere...anywhere...maybe even Wasilla and shut up!!!!
He's given more interviews after he left office than he did while in office....The nation didn't trust him then,what makes him think we do now???
He needs to be 'thanking" Obama's DOJ for not trying him for "war crimes" he committed.
Bill Clinton left this country with a SURPLUS.....High employment...people were owning homes instead of losing them.....
He was a great President....You will NEVER hear that said about George W or Cheney!

Bill Clinton was a great president. Study the constitution you people. Impreach means to bring charges against. Charges were brought but the impeachment was voted down. Cheney needs to keep quiet and crawl back under his rock. Bill Clinton has done more humanitarian work than anyone I know of. Cheney needs to put his time to better use.

Good for you Bill. You where a great president and I wish some one would shut that big mouth Chaney up. In office he hardly said a word to the public now he is everywhere.

Bill, Good TV! Cheney is a nut!

well done, Bill. Dick Cheney should crawl back into whatever "undisclosed location" he's been taking cheap shots from. In case he forgot, he and GWB had 8 years, two full terms, to impress the world with their brilliance. Guess what? Nobody was impressed. B-bye Dick.

When will the Bush bashing end? When all politicians take responsibility for their actions regardless who they are or what they did. They are all guilty of some crime but are to quick to point the finger.

Well Clinton's administration is "over" as well. Funny how everyone forgets that Clinton's administration brought us our last recession, Cllinton refused to take decisive action against terrorists attacks on our embassies and the USS Cole and allowed Bin Laden to operate frre and clear withourt fear of the U.S. setting the stage for 9/11. He failed miserably in bringing us NAFTA, he signed into law the deregulation and free reign for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to create the worse financial crisis since the Great Depression, he went against his military commanders and sent in an inadequate force to Somalia without providing needed backup when it was requested while our troops were slaughtered. He embarrassed the entire country by continually being a lying cheating husband. Its over Bill.

Funny its not over at all ,Cheney is still incharge at least all his plans are fully functioning under Obama. The war without end bombing of innocent civilians.Halliburton still in charge name changed to KBR ,gigantic defense appropriations, torture photos and facts hidden against the constitution nothing has changed , absolutely nothing, Bill .

Dick Cheney should go back to his undisclosed location. We didn't miss him then and if he would go away we wouldn't miss him now, but it would be great to never see his face again in the words of Maroon 5.

Cheney is a loud mouth, but Biden is dumb. "I'll keep my family from flying and being in enclosed areas". Nice one Joe....you do realize you could have crippled the airline industry further? Genius..

We wouldn't have to be quite as worried if our Bill would have taken action against Osama, we probably wouldn't have to worry so much. The fact that he was busy doing his own thing left his term with a "thumbs down" rather than him reaching his potential as a "Great" president.

Cheney.

Arrest.

Prosecute.

Punish.

Nuff said.

The ex-VP reminds of someone who has been asleep for eight years,, just now woke up and his mouth is num and has trouble speaking

Bill is being Too Kind but there is no reason to kick the Under Dog any more than he's already been kicked by the American People. Anyway what makes anybody feel that Chaney kept America Safe? Bush/Chaney caused more American deaths than 9-11.
Bush/Chaney caused more America grief than 9-11.
Bush/Chaney bankrupted the entire world.

Of course, torture works. But it only works to cause pain and suffering. Rape and sodomy also work. Stealing the election also worked. Political corruption to benefit super rich and oil barrons, well, that also worked.

Peace and Prosperity they also work.

Looks like The Republican Party is the only thing not working so well after all that corruption.

I want all you people who think torture is not part of war then you let the gitmo bay detainees come live in your home town. We all forget what they did to our soldiers-beheaded them, drag their bodies thru town, hung up their dead bodies on bridges, you liberals make me sick, but you be the first one crying for help if we were attack again.
I am so glad i grew up and realized there is only one way to do things and that is the right way. And to all you atheists who don't believe in God or who have a problem with people being Christians-you will be the first one praying for God when one of your loved ones where hurt and almost dead or dying. John Travolta did he pray to God not to take his son.

Touche, Mr. President. cheney is out there trying desperately to set up straw men in the hope that his sorry bunch of criminal thugs don't get sent to prison. He is hoping he will be able to travel outside the US without getting to visit a Spanish prison once occupied by the war criminal cheney's political hero nixon put in power in Argentina in 1973.

The country would be better-off if Dick would go stand close to the microwave oven for an extended period of time.

Bill Clinton, love ya.

Hey Janice,
If you want Cheny and Bush in front of a jury for war crimes, you'll have to stand Hillary, Nancy, Harry, Steny and all the other Dems who came in 2006 and said they were going to put a stop to the Bush War and never did. Even your beloved Obama will have to stand there too.

Oh, and by the way, Bill Clinton was CONVICTED by the Senate, because his sentence was a censure and a fine. So Bill Clinton DOES have the distinction of being the only US President to be IMPEACHED and CONVICTED while in office. If Bush was so bad, why didn't the Dems impeach Bush when they took over in 2006? Anybody ever ask themselves that? Hmm?

Looks like the idiots on the right have it wrong AGAIN, does the name PHIL GRAHAM mean anything oops! the clowns on the right didn't receive their talking points thats right PHIL GRAHAM the spineless right wing MORON that said AMERICA was a bunch of WHINNERS and look the BILL he SNUCK into the last piece of legislation before they went on break that right NOTICE yet anot6her COWARDLTY act by the SCVUM of Americas the repukulan party you know RNC (Racist Nazis Party), or the GOP ( Goofy Opposition Party). Yup cowards one and all so if any of yoiu Knot Head Morons on the right have any thing to say make sure it isn't a talking point. I realize you have limited Itelligence and your greatest glory is dumbinmg down your kids, remember there are those of us that do know the facts and will show them up your lower posteria,

clinton enjoyed the wave of economic prosperity laid down by Reagan and GB1 and was further lifted up by a republican congress who balanced the budget for the first time in generations. This country ran itself for 8 years which allowed Clinton to play hanky panky with every skirt in the white house and how you democrats forget the cluster freak that was Waco that happend under Clinton.

Clinton laid the groundwork for 9/11 for not getting bin laden and the current economic crisis by repealing Glass-Steagall

long story short, clinton was an average pres that took advantage of a cant lose situation.

One only needs to look at the activity of ex presidents and compare Republicans versus Democrats. The Dems are active and engage in continuing their great public works, while Republicans sneak out of town and out of sight. The 18% they now claim of voters is an appropriate and just number.

Cheney, you guys lost. Get that through your thick head.

i think cheney was running the country when bush won his second term and i will get back to you guys with full facts thats a promise..

bill kept us safe how about the uss cole how about letting osama get away how about sending missle to distract us from his love fest how about giving china full acsees to our economy how about somolia what about waco texas ruby ridge the gonzalas kid please clinton was a joke

That we debate whether or not water boarding is torture, and that we question closing Guantanamo bay both simply prove one thing – We have totally lost our values and moral standing.

It's really funny to hear comments like "shooting him in the face" from people who have never been hunting birds. Not ducks or geese, and no buckshot involved. If you ever go bird hunting (dove, quail or grouse, etc.) in a group , you're likely to get hit with some expended bird shot. It's no big deal. Bird shot has not much range at all. From the beginning the press made it sound like Cheney stuck a shotgun in the guy's face and pulled the trigger. It's really funny. What was even funnier though, was the way that people emptied those buildings in Manhattan last week when AF1 was on its photo op. I'll bet them folks were wishing the grown-ups were in charge...

The man and his cigar, in the white-house. Talks about Target-Prectice?

Good grief, CNN has let all the dem leftbot liberals out of the funny farm again!!

Did Dick Cheney receive a salary during his eight years as vice president? And if so, why?

csh, you forgot to thank Clinton for wasting tax dollars lying about his having sex with Monica Lewensky, for allowing Bin Laden to escape, for the beginning of the housing meltdown, etc....

While cheney was vice-president he was always hiding somewhere. Now one can't get his face or voice off the cable networks.

Clinton's target practice is done on womens' dresses.

Attention Republicans: We won. What that means to you? Shut up and take a seat for 4 years. Your methods clearly did not work and your turn is over! Clinton was the greatest President in US history!

WHY do you keep dumping my emails???????? I sent one today on the latest Palin non-newsworthy book report, and it followed the last several I have sent and did not appear except for "Awaiting Moderation". What is your problem? What is wrong w/my emails that you will not post them??? Answer requested, please, This is your business and I expect a reply!

Clinton and his wife are a joke, they are the biggest Narcissists this country has ever known and they just won't go away. Most of the comments above just show us all how stupid Americans have become. Lazy, no education, lazy, not even trying. What a waste.

For "[so called] Independent Democrat ... and found "not guilty" ! which you strangely omitted to mention !

Why in the world would anyone listen to Bill Monica Loving I did not have sex witht hat girl Clilnton???? He could have had Bin Laden, but alas he was too busy with Monica not having sex. Idiot.
Dick Cheney is trying to tell AMERICA, you and me, the truth. Everyone should listen to him. He is very intelligent.

That's why WE still luv President Clinton. That was a 'Slick Willie' diss to Dick Cheney.

I put cheeney and bush in the same category as saddam hussein
the last administration was a total disgrace
Clinton was a great president and Obama will be even better
bush should have been the one impeached he's a mass murderer
and a liar

i always loved you bill

i always loved you bill.

U.S.A: got a question for ya.... Why does Fox News destroy CNN and PMSNBC every night in ratings? It's because they actually allow both sides of the arguement and don't have a biased agenda. Check out the ratings and see for yourself.

This from the guy who turned down taking custody of Osama Bin Laden, MORE THAN ONCE. His complete lack of understanding of foreign policy cost over 3000 lives, and he feels compelled to comment on it, and what makes us safe?

Every time he opens his mouth he shoots off assinine idiotic statements he's been blathering about for years. The Republicans constantly remind us they kept us safe from more attacks after 9/11. May I ask who in the hell kept us safe all the years BEFORE 911??? Cheney has taken one isolated instance and built a whole political career. He apparently is trying to make up for the cowardice he showed during Vietnam. Lost cause, Dick.

Yeah, great jibe.

I wonder why CNN doesn't lead in to a story like this with, "Convicted liar, disbarred attorney and impeached former President grinned and said..."

It would be so much more accurate.

When Cheney was vice president looking at intelligence reports, 9/11 happened on his watch.......

Why should we believe him or even give him a voice now when he is no longer vice president and no longer looking at any intelligence?

President Clinton handed off to President Bush a monster economic surplus. President Bush took it, and ruined it.

I still am numbed by President Bush, landing on that aircraft carrier, wearing a military flight suit, with a sock stuffed down the front, to make it appear he had a pair, and declaring "Mission Accomplished".

You Republicans, with the help of the Surpremes, stole the 2000 Election. Do you know now what it means? "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it". Your arrogance has destroyed your Party. You are disappearing, slowly, but certainly.

Gees, is Dick Cheney still around? I thought he died or was that the Republican campaign? It's hard to keep track of the losers!

Well all know why Cheney is still blabbing his mouth off. He wants so bad to stay legitimate so that he can run for President. So that he can run this country into the ground again.

At least Cheney didn't cheat on his wife with a girl the same age as his own daughter......in the Oval Office!!!! On a more serious note, Clinton has no room to talk. He had Bin Lauden literally in hte crosshairs and didn't pull the trigger. 3000 Americans are dead because of that decision.

Obviously McAuliffe neede another perjurer to campaign for him! Info to the libs on this commentary: Bill Clinton had a Republican majority in both houses of Congress during most of his reign...and who do you think wrote/passed the legislation that balanced the budget?

If Clinton had been a "great" president then he would not have initiated the universal mortgage program that ultimately led to the current economic crash. I still hold him and "Green Guy" Gore responsible for 9-11.

Keep talking Rush and Dick! Keep reminding everyone what the far right has to offer: bombast and poison. Keep reminding us what the Bush administration "accomplished". We not only have to rebuild our damaged economy but our Bush-damaged world reputation as well. Keep talking boys. (P.S. On the other hand, Dick shot another Republican – and a lawyer at that. That takes guts.)

It is a shame that Mr. Clinton is still putting his two cents in after the shame he brought to the Oval Office. Not a good role model for his daughter and the youth of America.

There is method behind the ravings of Dick Cheney (and Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and all the rest of their sorry ilk). They are trying to undermine the Obama administration in the hope that it will fail, just as Hitler and his mob were waiting for the Weimar Republic to fail in 1932, so they could seize their opportunity.

One fact remains. When Bill Clointon left office there were surplusses as far as the eye could see. George W Bush manage to squander it all on tax cuts for his rich friends. They same people who complain that Obama has "not fixed the problem yet" are the ones who made Bush possible. Believe them at your own peril America.

If there's one thing the Democrats can't stand, it's the truth!
They squirm, crack jokes and try to discredit the guy delivering it. You would think Bill Clinton would be above that by now, hopefully getting a little respect for just going with the truth. I guess not.

My 401k went into the stratosphere under President. Very nice man also. I could care less that he was having company for a pizza. I would have too!!!

Cheney and Clinton are both New World Order traitors. They are both puppets for the Bankers.

Get your facts right at Infowars.com.

i heard this and wondered if it was true. is rush limbuagh going to be on celebrity the biggest loser??? what is your guys opinion?

Bill Clinton should know he is "over" too. Can't even make money now from all kinds of foreign leaders since Hillary became sec of state.

President Clinton was outstanding today!! The crowd went wild when they saw him and he stayed and greeted folks for a good 45 minutes after the event. He's brilliant, the republican's are so bitter they absolutely have no-one to say the same about.. Well, at least who's not already 6 feet under. NOTA!! LOL

Cons got nobody to blame for ruining their beloved GOP, but that moron GW and his cronies.

Gotta love this!

Dick, go find your BUNKER. Way to go, Bill.

How can you people support Clinton? I suppose you also think Ted Kennedy is a great guy; maybe you'll send your daughters out with these men? I dont support Chenny, but you Liberal extremists idiots are as stupid as the ultra conservative.

And how can you possibly credit Clinton with the luck America had in the 90s; which were set up by two Republican presidents before and lead to Enron, WorldCom, NAFTA, Mark Rich and many more Clintonisms...

I wish all of you would get out of my country and let us sane people live our lives.

Honestly, I haven't heard this much from Cheny in eight years. What the hell??? This scum bag, torturing, scam artist is trying to upset the balance, says the drug addict is better than Colin Powell???

Nice Party ya got there Repubs.........with leaders like that, shoud be an exciting, bright future.....

Bill Clinton .is right

tricky Dick Cheney couldn't hold a candle to Mr.Clintons ability to lead our country . and what Clinton did for our debt was great and Bush Cheney squandered it away in 8 years . I personally miss Bill Clinton and wish him well and hope he keeps up the great work he is doing world wide .
Cheney and Rush the druggie can keep right on squaking and threatening all they want too most americans by now know he and his little group of hench men are idiots and need to just go away.. but with all the lip service going on it would apear they are trying to draw attention away from all the crap they pulled (Rove) over the last eight years .. justice will prevale and might put their fonney little ass's in prison . good place for all of them. but just keep right on mouthing off .. makes you look dumb real dumb and un American

Someone needs to get the shells from Cheney's duck hunting rifle. Don't let the man have a loaded rifle now.

Cheney The Shameless is such an insult to the American character, proudly considered to include the courage to try things the right way and, likewise, to admit the wrongs when apparently so.

Tulsa: Unless Cheney speaks under oath, as he repeatedly refused to do and doesn't appear willing to do should a comission or whatever is formed, he can say whatever he pleases but it is just so much hot air. We do know that videoes and who knows what else was destroyed that chronicled the torture.

Do you really think that they gained information from torture that saved TENS OF THOUSANDS of lives as he claims we wouldn't have heard about it??

Bill Clinton was asked to respond while at an event that had nothing to do with the whole Cheney blabber; Cheney has chosen to go about blithering in softball interviews.

If Bill Clinton would have done his job, instead of fooling around with that woman, we would have not had issues like torture, He had no less two chances to kill bin laden.....

After Cheney is in a federal prison for 30 days and if they let him play with the big boys....He will need a box of Kotex..

They cant wait to get him in the shower and play drop the soap....

If Cheney sticks to target practice, he won't have any friends left!

Cheney is putting American lives in danger by constanty saying America is unsafe now–that is an invitation for some country to shoot of a nuke or the Taliban that hates us to do try to do something terrible. He is a threat to national security.

Cheney is no longer in office to have any clue what is going on and is not privy to secret intelligence. He was not the president–he was VP and he is out of place. The terror and fear and torture Cheney caused was to the American people and those he really tortured and all the other countries "hated" him they did not fear him. He had Americans fearing him and the republicans and democrats of the senate and congress and is trying to regain that.

Yes, thank you Bill Clinton for the U.S.S. Cole attack, the first attack on the World Trade Center, The embasy bombings in Africa, Somalia...yes your forgein policy and national security record speaks for itself...

Bill should stick to Monica Lewinsky.

To Robin,

Bill might be a first class swine, but Cheney is a world class liar and deceiver. By the way, when clinton lied, only his sperms died. When Cheney/bush lied, thousands of people died. it's funny that the Bush/Cheney supporters value sexual morality than thousands of lives being lost due to a LIE. Typical neocon idiot for you, lol

Can I add a statement? The whole Dick cheney thing is a big joke. I think it's a plan to ruin the Republican party even more than it is.

As long as the current major players continue to open theiur mouth, the more the ship sink.

I'd like more of Dick, Rush, Steele...you know the lot. Sinking faster than a rusty ship.

bill, it is also over for you. you need to go back home a practice being faithful to your wife.

Cheney is an evil person! He hates America unless he is personally benefiting in a monetary way!

Cheney and Rush Limbaugh are the two biggest liars in the republican party and when they get more like them the republican party will be like the Whig party–no more.

Project for the New American Century! – "It's Over!" – God, I love that line!

I can't wait to see that pompas ass in an orange jump suit!

Connie, you either support the Constitution or you don't. It doesn't matter if the lie is about sex or war. A lie is a lie is a lie and Clinton is the only one who has lied under oath, committing perjury, a crime.

I thought it was pretty funny. I don't care what Cheney says any more than any on the Right care about what Clinton says. Quit with the 'oh, yeah, well YOUR guy was worse' crap. Clinton was showing he supports OUR President. At least he isn't making outrageous claims. Will you guys relax. We are no more or less safe than we have ever been, and that's a fact. No one has the ability to predict the future. 9/11 happened, the WTC bombing attempt in 1993 happened. Could something else happen? Yes. Is it possible to be struck by lightning? Yes. We don't know if either scenario has better odds of happening, do we? Has our government over the past few decades been unable find two magnets in their pockets – I don't have much confidence we can know for certain we are safe. Cheney's knowledge isn't all that, plus, I think he's been losing it for a while. Seriously. I'm not being hateful. I'm serious.

Bill should also practice his aim so he doesn't fire semen all over his next intern's dress.

Yeah, we remember that "hunting" trip. And the fact that they tried to cover up what really happened.

Cheney can tote a gun into a penned up hunting "range" but never carried a rifle in Vietnam.

Bill & Dick are both owned by the shadow and, like cunning pederasts, steer you around until the Fed enslaves you. The Argentina model began here under Bill and we are one third the way to their finish line...

To: Allicsansay. Let them come in our area, we love to hunt. Cheney, Pelosi and Bush would be perfect targets. Called fragging.

To EX-repub-
THANKS for your post! I had not considered what you said, that the same agencies are in place as they were pre-Obama, which is obviously VERY true. I shall use that point of view when next I have to deal w/ my Bible-banging Neanderthal relatives (Who, by the way, do not have as much money as I do, nor the education, nor all the travels all over the world......but hey! They have JC and sports and ANYTHING their ministers tell them is the word of God....NOT!). Again, thanks for your post!!!!!!!!!!

Right on Mr. Pres. Right you are. Cheney's target is President Obama but he keeps hitting the GOP.... right in the face! Do you think the party will now apologize to him?

He's right. Its not that hard to figure out. Just like Bill, who could have taken out Osama, this administration is not going to keep us as safe as we were the last 8 years...unfortunately.

Haha! God bless President Bill Clinton...

Yes, the Bush Administration is over. Perhaps Clinton should tell that to the present Administration. They're the ones who lead every press conference or media appearance with "...remember, we inherited this..." Maybe if they toned down their rhetoric, Cheney wouldn't feel the need to continually defend himself. BTW, Clinton was impeached by the House, it was his buddies in the Democratically controlled Senate that didn't convict him. However, he was guilty of perjury and suspended from the practice of law. That hardly makes him a good character reference.

Bill Clinton is the man. Dark VADOR CHANEY is a nut job.

It looks like Cheney is trying to hang onto the past. He is becoming pathetic! Why doesn't he return to his home state and quit lurking around Washington,DC? If he wasn't given air and press time he might slink away. We voted him and his party out of office. Goodbye ex VP Cheney.

dick chaney is a creep who belongs in jail. and, who is he to comment about anyone. tell us about the WMD Iraq had? He such a jerk,

CHENEY IS LOW LIFE RIGHT WING RADICAL THAT HAS GUIDED THE RNC PRINCIPLES FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. HE HAS RECEIVED 5 DEFERMENTS TO AVOID THE DRAFT AND HAS RESULTED IN BRING THE MORALS AND PRINCIPLES OF THIS COUNTRY DOWN AFTER THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TO UP HOLD THOSE PRINCIPLES. HE LEFT SOLDERS TO DEFEND FOR THEMSEVLES ON MISCONDUCT CHARGES FOR THE TREATMENT OF PRISONERS AT ABU GRAB ETC AND DID NOTHING TO PROTECT THEM. CHENEY IS A COWARD THAT REPRESENTS THE RIGHT WING NEO CONS AND CARES NOTHING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY. PUT HIM ON TRIAL FOR HIS WAR CRIMES AND VIOLATING OUR COUNTRY'S LAWS,

Thanks President Clinton:

For the best economy of my lifetime
For the 22 million jobs you created
For the successful end to ethnic cleansing in Bosnia
For the balanced budget
For the budgest surplus

etc….

etc…..

--------------------–

The economy during Clinton's era had more to do with the steady hand of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who was apointed by Ronald Reagan. Clinton imposed three major tax increases during his tenure creating a recession at the end of his term that Bush inherited. And the job creation during Clinton's term was more like 15 million.

Whatever happened to a lively debate in regards to someone's political opinion? Seems as though most responses to Cheney's views on National security are limited to personal attacks. This trend of attacking people personally, as a substitute for a constructive debate, appears to be on the increase.

Folks, it's pretty simple, time will tell whether or not the American people were safer under Bush / Cheney & Pelosi, or Obama / Biden. In the meantime, Cheney's entitled to his opinion.

Republicans are a funny breed. They crucified Bill Clinton for getting oral sex from Monica Lewinksy, who was at the time a consenting adult (granted, it was adultery, I'm not defending him)...but then along comes Dick Cheney with his unethical war in Iraq that has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians (after he told the first Bush not to go to war in Iraq in the early 1990's because it would cause a civil war)...and his waterboarding and torture of suspected terrorists, not to mention a clear conflict of interests in Halliburton and its role in the whole Iraq debacle...and wouldn't you know, the Republicans are still criticizing Bill Clinton for his tryst with Monica Lewinsky and just want to sweep all of the Bush/Cheney improprieties under the rug? Oh and did I mention, the previous administration won't go away...they keep dissing the current administration, which is a BIG NO NO. You know, that Mr. Clinton sure has a lot of class to just not make a comment and wish Mr. Cheney well. Maybe Mr. Cheney should take a hint.

The rethugs lead by holier than thou newt the nuke gingrich, went after Clinton for something that was between him and Hillary. however cheney the loonie and bust the "duh" committed war crimes and should have been impeached.

What's funny about Dick Chaney is that you didn't hear hardly anything from him when he was VP. Almost as if he was in hiding. Now he is giving his brand of critique constantly to the public.

Ataboy Slick Willy! Tell it like it is, you always have!

Clinton scr..ed one person.

Bush/Cheney f..ked the entire world.

For once Clinton is on track. Cheney should take Bush, Pelosi and himself and go out for target practice. It would probably end up the way a lot of American citizens would want it.

Cheney is not in prison yet?

Let the following goons talk: Rush Limbaugh, Lynn Cheney, Dick Cheney, Ann Coulter, etc. It works in our favor.

Bill Clinton is right on the mark. It is over for Bush and Cheney. They both deserve to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Agree with both comments below... The Democrats need to get off the Reaganomics-lite train they've been on since the late 80's (when they realized they could get massive corporate donations by renouncing the JFK-strain of liberalism). In light of Geithner and Summers' current "progress", the fact that Obama actually considered Gregg for Commerce, and the fact that single-payer advocates have been ignored in the healthcare reform discussion so far, it's clear this current administration needs to get off the Reagan-train before they can truly start to repair our horribly mangled social safety net.

Clinton great? He signed the bill that overrode Glass-Steagall making himself a major player in the mess we are in today! He was a very good president, great ones don't make major mistakes like that.

Agreed on that point. He signed off on so many Republican Revolution measures it wasn't even funny. But he was still more fiscally conservative than 40, 41 and especially 43!

If you look at it in terms of accomplishments and not partisan party lines, then Bill Clinton is the best Republican president we ever had.

lets get it straight people, the house voted to impeach him but he was not impeached. he finished out his term and was a great president. he got caught, thats all. nothing any other prez hasn't done. but to the real story here is the end of the republican party, the joke, the immoral moral, the oil mongers,the imperialist liers. clintons impeachment was a political party move and nothing more. your time is done, your party is over. go home and fade away.

Dick: His name says it all.

Obama is setting a bad precident – nobody talks down about the president before him. How childish. The next Republican president will have a party on Obama's record. He's already messing everything up.

He loves to make changes but doesn't think ahead to what changes he makes. I heard him say making decisions is the easy part of his job. If it's easy, he's not thinking enough. And don't even think that he's just good at it and that's why it's easy. Wait a couple of years, we'll all be crying because of his changes. But at least I didn't vote for him. I'll have nothing to feel guilty about. The bad decisions Bush made doesn't make Obama's bad decisions right.

You neglected to mention that Cheney was drunk when he shot his friend and the local authorities were kept away from him for about 12 hours until he sobered up.

I wonder if Cheney has shot any good friends lately.

I agree with Bill Clinton.

President Clinton was too kind. Cheney doesn't deserve anyone's well wishes. Cheney is a despicable human being. His only vested interest in the war was that of Halliburton. The midnight rendezvous with his Enron buddies should have ended his career there and then.

Just go away, Dick and take Rush Limpba with you. You like having having a nasty wad of gum on the bottom of our shoes!

Good one, Mr. Clinton! Only Bill could some up the last administration and Mr. Chenye's demise and accomplishments, in passing.

Maybe Chenye should take some lessons, he could cut back on some of his appearances.

as the joke says; I would rather go hunting with Dick Cheney then a drive with Ted Kennedy. Clinton has no credit either

It amazes me how bush and cheney attempt to rewrite history. Cheney's claims that we are less safe with President Obama is way off target. Who was in office on 9/11/01? Which president spent most of 2001 vacationing on his ranch in Texas? Who spent the next 7 years creating more enemies than we had before 2001? Look inward cheney!

The President's d would outsmart that D any day. LOL.

It's the them vs. us mentallity is what is wrong with the two party system in America. I thought it is WE THE PEOPLE that they are soppossed to SERVE ! It seems like they think this is a game in witch you try to defeat the enemy by way of oneliners & promises that are warm & fuzzy but are not reality. The more I think about it Campain finace reform is not enough to reign in these people. Kick them all out and let UPS run the country.

Pelosi Definitely! the good smile. Hillary she's a cup in the hand lady.

Typical of these rambo types that pack guns, couldnt shoot a straight bullet if their life depended on it, yet, they loveeeee guns. hahah jokes on you.

Bill, Bill, Bill... let the man talk. Cheney has become the face of the GOP and I'm loving it.

Bill should pratice what he preaches that way he won't mess up another dress.

Peter,
you seem to be one of the people in gutter and I won't get down there with you. Bill was impeached and should be in Jail not speaking to kid that don't even know that he was impeached-maybe you should come out of the gutter and tell them
Pat

I think the entire Republican Party should be tried for treason, not just the shrub and the dick.

Typical Bill Clinton. At least Cheney knows how to protect our nation. Bill Clinton was busy with something else IN the white house while he
should have been watching the country. Clinton seems like he's forgotten about his shame.

get em Bill! Darth Cheyney and his dark overloard Limbaugh are disgraceful

Bill Clinton ... the last good Republican president we've had.

Slice and dice, way to go Bill Clinton and I so agree. Dick Cheney, his wife and daughter all need to do some target practice starting at home. Something ain't right about this family but one day we'll find out the real truth about Cheney's wife as she wrote in her book and got so angry when asked about it. Hmmm and maybe that has a lot to do with Cheney's anger and evil ways.

Jimmy the Greek May 13th, 2009 5:25 pm ET

You libs are hysterical….

You demand Cheney be questioned about his activities in the last administration….

But when he comes out and speaks about the interrogation memos or answers his critics – you want him to shut-up.

Which is it, Libs??

We want him on trial for war crimes, and disrespecting our constituition! Th constituition of the USA is bigger and greater than any one man or administrations!

Hey, lets not muzzle Dick Cheney. He is killing off the Republican Party at a record rate. Leave him alone and in about one year, there won't be any Repubs left except him and Rush. They're the best thing that ever happened to the Democrat Party. He is also just trying to set up a defense to stay out of jail where he belongs and if pursued will end up in prison for war crimes .

The Republican Party is not died. It is getting stronger.
The unemployment is really big. and bad.
Remember is the economy stupids.

Dick Cheney, Never has there been a man in more desperate need of a bl*wj*b.

I agee...

Bill Clinton should be in Jail for lying to a federal judge and the PIG's (People in gutter) in congress didn't have enought guts to throw him in jail with the other lyers from his cabinet. These people, THE PIG's will not be happy until we get in the gutter with them. The people will stand up and soon or later they will get rid of all the PIG's in Congress. that happens to be most of them.
Pat
A broke electrican in calif because the PIG's running the country have spent us into the 1970's again inflaction at 21% you watch

Gerda, both President Carter and VP Gore did criticize other administrations, that is true. But the major difference is that both criticized many many years after they were out of office. What Cheney is doing is totally unheard of in American politics and is totally UN American.

Not a word out of Cheney's mouth for his final 2 years in office & now we can't shut him up??? Let him have it Bill...

Go Bill...

OH whats the latest from the republicans... oh yeah.... spicy mustard is "elitist" but spending over $ 100,000 at Neiman Marcus for a VP candidate is not.

Wut-ever.

HAHA nice one Mr President!... Oh how I wish we could have the 90s back!

Good for Bill, Cheney is Evil to the bone.

Yep thanks Bill...

For not taking Bin Laden when he was offered from Sudan
The USS Cole Bombing
World Trade Center 1 Bombing
Black Hawk Down
US Embassy Bombing
etc etc

You know all about keeping the USA safe

Will someone please explain to me [again] why war criminal Dick Cheney is allowed to walk around in civilized society as a free man?

Nitpicking grasps for a legal straw aside...come on. We all know what he's done and how many have died as a result.

Make it right, America.

Bill Clinton is a great politician with the potential to have been one of the greatest Presidents. He's a blue dog I'm a yellow dog – so we disagree on much. But his right of center philosophy made it possible to get things done. In any other country, his inability to keep his pants zipped would have been fodder for a few jokes and a shrug. In our country, it cost him the chance to be the greatest and us the chance to enjoy the fruits of that.

W was a non-entity by comparison. Cheney is Tomas de Torquemada. The past 8 years have been the worst in our history.

Perhaps what Mr. Cheney meant to say is that under Pres. Bush we were safer than when Pres. Clinton was in charge. So far, giving credit to Pres. Obama, we are still safe (not attacked), but the changes his administration is making on national security are yet to be proven. My prayers are that this administration continues the record established by the former administration.

LOL. Good One!!!!

[...] meme of the hour, per Republican strategists and Bill Clinton, is that Dick Cheney needs to quiet down about torture and go away now. Really? I find it hard to [...]

Thanks Mr. President.....You have been the best president for the USA and also to the rest of the world. And You are STILL my president. Stay well and happy, Mr. President.

Yes, republicans are full of psycho talk!

Bill Clinton should remember that he was impeached and keep his obnoxious mouth shut.

Cheney should be in jail.

Gold Medal for Dick Cheney for Quail Hunting.

Bill we miss ye.
Dick you missed ....period LOL

Bill Clinton, one of the best presidents we have had, is a gentleman and a scholar. While it would be humorous to see him throw stuff back at Cheney, because we know it would be good and fact based, it would only be feeding the Republican furnace of hate mongering. Bill wouldn't lower himself to Cheney's level and that is a very good thing.

It was Bill Clinton who kept us safe from terrorism after the first attack on the Trade Center one month into his tenure...We were safe without torture...

Isn't it funny how repubs from the 90's are old news, but when Bill makes a funny he is congratulated. I hate hippocrites.

I wish Clinton had said a lot more! Cheney is outrageous, disgusting, and soulless!

DEMS: Impeachment is a trial. Clinton WAS impeached–by a republican-controlled senate, and acquitted.
REPS: Really, get over the hummer thing. If that's all you've got, it sure doesn't stand up to shredding the constitution.

Dr. Strangelove was worse than worthless as VP. Unfortunately, it is more apparent with each passing day that he was the one running the Iraq and Aghanistan wars, and is responsible for deaths and maiming of thousands of our finest young men and women. Now that he's out from under the gun of responsibility, he's suffering from a constipation of truth and a diarhea of words. Waterboarding would be too humane for him. If we're going to continue with renditions, he should be on the first plane over. If he's so shot in the ass with torture, let him get a large dose of it, then see what he thinks.

This is like Darth deja vu all over again.

Cheney wants a do-over in hopes of changing his disasterous legacy. The five-deferment thug who stayed mostly hidden in his undisclosed location for eight years has morphed into an annoying blabber mouth who won't STFU. It's embarrassing actually.

I haven't had too much kind to say about W but I have to admit he's shown class since leaving office. Maybe he fully understands the impossible job he left behind for President Obama and really wants to help the country.

Dick on the other hand would just as soon shoot Uncle Sam in the face it advanced his sick agenda.

I am one progressive who's more than happy to see Cheney on the air every single day. The Republicans are only solidifying the image that they are a bunch of old angry white men. So let me see more Newt, Rush, Cheney and Bill Bennett. Keep the parade coming.

We had some good years during the Clinton Administration especially for those who were gaming the system, but in the mean time many were left behind and eventually ended up getting stuck with the bill.

Thank you President Clinton. You kept America safe for 7 1/2 years and then 9-11 was on the Bush/Cheney watch!!!!!!!!

**Cheney has no class whatsoever. General Colin Powell is a TRUE American and TRUE Republican.

AH,
He should leave it to others to attack him and say nothing!
Oh, it must be a right wing conspiracy again.....
We are a free country and anyone can express his view and protects himself against attackers.
The left only allows free speech to itself!

The more Cheney opens his mouth, the more power Republicans will lose.

FOX should just give him his own show titled "Cheney Knows Best".

i'm nostalgic for the Clinton years. the future looked bright, i had health care, and then we had the Bush set back for 8 years...go obama!

Dick Cheney, a criminal is running scared. This is just desperation.

The neo-cons are no ordinary cons they are plenty capable of engineering 9/11 to get their agenda.

And he should stick to groping interns!!

indeendent dem should remember that impeachment is about the same as indictment. If you are arrested by the police, indictment is almost automattic. If you're pursued by a seventy million dollar witch hunt, impeachment is almost automattic.

Wow, CNN is the new TMZ, stalking celebs.

I love what Clinton said... Cheney doesn't understand that is fatherly advise gave Bush all the time is No Longer needed in Washington... But shucks... he is in his own way ... trying hard to sink the Republican Party.

Clinton is the one who cannot except the fact its over. Now will he just go away....I doubt it!

Well Bush did once say that 'History will look kinder on him in the future as a President' Hmmmm..... maybe he's right because its starting to look like Darth Cheney was really in charge and Georgie boy was just along for the ride....

When Bush got into office, Carter sent a letter to the UN asking for more checks, weapons of mass destruction, THEY CALLED HIM A TRAITOR!
Clinton didn't roam around the country talking about cr*p when Bush took over, bad protocol!

THIS MUCH HATED PERON NEEDS TO SHUT HIS PIE HOLE AND GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. He is shaking in his boots, chick hawk. Send kids to war but like Hannity, Limbaugh, Woo, Bush and the rest of the neo CONS, they refused to go.

PATHETIC!

Hey Midwest guy,

Let's get the COMPLETE facts in, why don't we? It is true that Clinton was impeached, but was subsequently ACQUITTED by the U.S. Senate. Funny how the latter is conveniently omitted...

Dear "Rest of THe World". Yes it's true. As you read these comments (as well as all of the other ones in the political columns), Americans really are this shallow and stupid. Notice all the complaints and slurs. Yet not one single bit of advice on how to make things better. Truly a government for the people by the people; yes it is. A bunch of whiners and idiots all around.

Cheney is a greedy, fear mongering, empty shell of a man. Everything that he has ever done has been to serve his own self interests, personal power, and personal investments (Halliburton). He is a criminal who implemented TORTURE in the name of the United States of America and its citizens. When is the MSM going to call it what it is - TORTURE -not Enhanced Interrogation Techniques.

You know, if capital punishment was actually effective in eliminating the most hainous of our criminal population, we would have no republicans.

It ain't over until Cheney is tried for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.

FYI Bill Clinton was impeached. He was charged by the house and tried by the senate, with the supreme court chief justice presiding, He was found not guilty It's still an impeachment.. Impeachment is totally a poliitical procedure. The repulics contolled congrees and this is how they chose to spend their time. It's almost impossible to convict a president because a2/3rds majority of the senate is required.

It may be over for Bill too, but I get the sense that he realizes it unlike Dick.

Now that is funny! And I have to agree!

Clinton might be a womanizer but he didn't tread on the Constituion of the United States.

In addition, he gave us a great economy, created jobs, stopped ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, worked towards peace in Ireland, and gave us a balanced budget with a surplus. Cheney gave us war without a reason, tanked the economy, huge deficit.

phoenix86 May 13th, 2009 5:24 pm ET

Bill giving advice on anything besides bedding interns is a waste of time.
-----

Yeah, really. He only bedded an intern. Bush and Cheney screwed the whole country.

Clinton Lied about the affair and hurt 3 people (wife,daughter, and Ms.L)
Cheney/Bush lied to the country and killed over 4,000 soldiers (still counting) and over 40,000 injured.

If they tried to impeach Clinton, why in the world did they not hang Cheney?

Cheney's legacy is the corpse of Sadam Hussein at the end of a rope,
a mountain of rotted bodies and an army of maimed soldiers and innocent people. He should enter a monastery where constant silent prayer for forgiveness is the rule. It disgusts me to hear his voice.

LMAO! Now, THAT is funny – thanks, Bill!!

Chalk one up for Bill!

Navy Seal Jesse Venture will love to waterboard EVIL DICK. See his interview on Larry King,

I firmly believe that it is good for the Democrats and Independents to keep Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter out in the limelight. Even some of my Republican acquaintances arae getting fed up with the way they are operating. To be sure they are Moderates.

Ken, hate to rain on your parade… but…. Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998. Perhaps YOU should check your facts. Midwest Guy.................................................................................................

Midwest Guy – Hate to rain on your hate parade but Bill Clinton was ACQUITTED by the US Senate in January 1999.

And he left office with the highest approval rating of any President in 60 years.

Robin May 13th, 2009 5:49 pm ET
Did Bill get his law license back yet? Since it was suspended because he is a first class swine.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Funny you don't hold Newt Gingrich in the same contempt.... He was cheating on his wife WHILE he was going after Bill!
You are a class 1 hypocrite.

FDR lied, millions died. Ike should've prosecuted Truman for war crimes. Hahahahahaha. Idiot libs.

I love Cheney and that fat daughter of his talking too much about torture. It is the most ignorant response ever to assess that you can perform a crime by redefining the definition of the crime by getting a sleek attorney to rewrite the definition. Sad state of affairs for a party that already lied to the American people, the military, our allies, and, the world.

pomawg May 13th, 2009 5:46 pm ET

Wow, I guess CNN only likes the shrill comments, like casting for a "reality" show. I won't bother with any other comments. (Just pointed out to fellow liberals that Bill was indeed, like it or not, outrageous or not, abuse of power or not, impeached.)

Thanks President Clinton:

For the best economy of my lifetime
For the 22 million jobs you created
For the successful end to ethnic cleansing in Bosnia
For the balanced budget
For the budgest surplus

etc....

etc.....

Gotta love Bill Clinton. I wouldn't go duck hunting with Dick Cheney if you paid me.

Mr. Cheney should go to his house, and stay there until he dies.

waterboard the moderator.

Good 'ole Bill Clinton!!!

With all that Clinton did when he was in office for the economy, he deserved that **** job.

Pat Smith May 13th, 2009 5:40 pm ET, "When he was in the White House he never said a word. Now he won't shut up. If anything happens to Obama and he does not ge elected does that mean Biden can come back..."
===============================
Pat, I think VP Cheney took advice from Pres Carter's and VP Gore's playbooks, which Pres Clinton also seems to endorse (but not to the same degree). Once Pres Carter and VP Gore violated the unwritten "don't comment on subsequent Administrations" rule, all bets were off. Don't blame the Repubs on this one.

Good zinger Bill! At least Bush knows enough to keep his big mouth shut. too bad that Cheney didn't get the same memo!

C should take Ru.sh and what remains of the repugnants, one and all, on his next hunting trip – the nice guy that he is!

I think he is not getting many speaking opportunities like most ex-Presidents and VPs do. He sounds like a frustrated person who is hell bent on further ruining his party. He does not realize the damage he (covertly) has done to the country and the Republican party which has some very nice individuals. Unfortunately I cant say the same for Dick.

If the republican party is to survive, the voices of Limbaugh, Cheney, O'Reily, and fox news have to die out. It's turning off the American people in large droves. Look at the numbers. Fewer and fewer people are identifying as republican in national polls.

Prison inmates are waiting for Dick and Condi.

Did Bill get his law license back yet? Since it was suspended because he is a first class swine.

Cheney is a joke.

What a perfect comment, that maybe even Cheney, his daughter and entire crew might get....IT"S OVER!!!! Your time is up!

God bless the current President of the United States, Barack Obama.

P.S. God, please don't let Mr. Cheney hunt in my neighborhood.

I think he's right! It is over and the sooner Cheney figures it out the better. I like how Bill Clinton approached this. Perhaps Cheney should shut up and sing...a different tune, or not at all.

Clinton great? He signed the bill that overrode Glass-Steagall making himself a major player in the mess we are in today! He was a very good president, great ones don't make major mistakes like that.

Bush ruined everything

Way to go Bill tell it like it is piss on Cheney.

Hey Michael James-

You said "No, ex-Dems have mouths, ex- Repubs have dignity and class out of respect for the office."

What do you call what Cheney is doing? Being quiet?

LJ May 13th, 2009 5:21 pm ET
Maybe Mr Clinton, the biggest liar in U.S. Presidential history, should heed his own advice. "It's over."
-----------------------–
Uh, what? LJ apparently has pretty selective memory if they think Clinton was a bigger liar than W. Ridiculous.

There's a lot of misinformation in these comments. Bill Clinton was impeached, but he was not convicted. The House of Representatives brings impeachment charges; the Senate tries the President. The Senate acquitted him. The only other impeached President was Andrew Johnson. He also was not convicted nor removed from office. Just like Clinton.

did cheney misinterpret the declaration of independence?

fear, rendition and the pursuit of misinformation?

Michael James, Where is Cheney's respect?

He won't keep his mouth shut. It's not his job anymore. what is he trying to do? The point you just made obviously does not work for this situation and article!

George W. Bush got us into an un-winable war, claimed it was over when it was really just getting started, let the man who attacked us on 9/11 go free, destroyed the economy, mangled the constitution, and had no response to Katrina. And that's only a partial list of his failures. Yet according to some of you Repubs, Bill Clinton was the worst President ever, because he had extra-marital sex. And people wonder why your party is going down the tubes. As for "Dick" Cheney, the problem isn't that he is talking, he has that right. The problem is that he thinks that George Bush and he actually did a good job. If the average person was that dillusional, they would be put into a mental health facility.

@ the GOPers.......... YOU putting President Clinton down??? Criticizing him!

Clinton may have been an adulterer, whom the holier-than-thou-GOP-controlled Congress ...... impeached for "lying about that woman"! That's hardly......... going to hurt the U.S.!

However, you approve of and support two War Criminals?? Bush & DICK, were and will go down in history as ......... disasters!

Did DICK & Bush keep America safe???? Answer: September 11th!

dis cheney misinterpret the declaration of independence?

fear, rendition and the pursuit of misinformation?

Cheney is a war criminal, a war profiteer and a war monger. Dispicable thug who should go back to Wyoming and crawl under a rock.

Is it significant that Dick Cheney pops up everywhere trying to defend the Bush administration's use of torture, while the guy who was nominally in charge utters not a peep. You might almost get the impression that the veep was really running things and not silent George.

It's just Cheney's ego talking. He just can't accept we know based on his record in office that he is and was full of it, and he's trying the only tricks he knows – fear and bullying.

Time for Eric Holder to put him before a grand jury for his crimes. Then he'll shut up.

Jimmy the Greek May 13th, 2009 5:25 pm ET
-------------------------

What is it with you right-wing wack-a-doodles? Cheney has to constantly "remind" us of why torture was a good thing? It was illegal – and he's going down for it.

Even with Monica L., Bill Clinton has more credibility in the tip of his pinky finger than "Deadeye Dick" Cheney has in his entire family.

Get over it.

When Clinton lied.... it was about a cigar and a chick.
when Cheeney lied...thousands of American soldiers DIED...when he and Bush sent them to war for oil, blackwater and B&R!
Cheeney is a coward who has never been in the military...
as well as his dougboy Rove.
But...they both believe in torture!
Ironic....McCain doesn't endorse it....wonder why?

When he was in the White House he never said a word. Now he won't shut up. If anything happens to Obama and he does not ge elected does that mean Biden can come back on stage and just yak away at how the GOP is doing and where they failed to keep us safe and how they are not serving the needs of the people. Wow....I pray our president does well and he is rewarded 2 terms but if he is not I fully expect since the prescendent is set by Cheney that Biden too will be the co president of a GOP president in office. Think about you guys defending him. What is good for the goose is certainly good for the gander.

Ken, hate to rain on your parade... but....

Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998. Perhaps YOU should check your facts.

LOL Good One Bill....put that Evil Sith Lord Cheney in his place

@Michael James,
Failure? Can you say "Camp David Accords"
Insignificant? Can you say 8 years of un equalled growth and prosperity AND the peace in Northern Ireland?
Tell me, oh Repo dummy, what will the Bush admin. be known for? Torture? Elimination of Americans right to privacy? 4300 dead soldiers in Iraq for NO REASON?
Yeah, those Republicans do a bang up job alright.
Dum#$$

There is nothing Cheney can do to keep himself from going down in history as the embodiment of political evil. Talk all you want, Dick, but Bill's right. It's OVER.

To all of you who are saying that Clinton was never impeached, go back to school and take a Civics class. He and Andrew Johnson are the ONLY two in our history to be impeached. Impeachment occurs when Congress votes on whether to remove a president from office, not the actual removal itself.

On another note: if pro is the opposite of con, does that mean that the opposite of PROgress is CONgress?

YES! Correct you are, Bill Clinton! When you consider that DICK is a criminal for breaking American & International laws on torture, the man should be careful, every interview he gives more and more information that can and will be used against him!

And....... DICK & Bush were in Office during the terrorist attack of September 11th. It WAS their mutual disregard for the intelligence reports that were *** warning*** of an impending attack on U.S. soil, using our airports that ..... DICK & Bush ........ ignored!

Had the Bush regime, heeded those intelligence reports, added extra security, and put in place stringent security measures....... perhaps....... **** 3000******* AMERICANS LIVES WOULD NOT HAD BEEN LOST!

DICK, considering that you & Bush FAILED to keep Americans SAFE on September 11th........ you should be careful, because the judgement you are passing on President Obama....... is actually the one that belongs to YOU!

Dick Cheney + G.W. Bush=MORONS. hahaha!!!!!

Clintons=No Class

Dick Cheney says torture of detainees saved his life, and not thousands – he ought to have been tortured of waterboarded for missing his target and shooting a fellow human being!

Are you one of the few Republicans still in existence in today's America? Could I get your autograph? I might not get another opportunity!

Perhaps they should store your DNA as an endangered species. As science progresses you might have a shot (since religion appears to be out of the way for advancement for at least the next 8 years).

Sarah Palin should invite Cheney to go hunt moose.

why is it you see more of him now than we say of him during the 8 missarble years? that he had a change to make changes now he just makes exuses period. He was a bully than and he still is a bully

Get him Bill Clinton. I love you Bill Clinton.

Dick Cheney, Please stop helping. Please.

@Jimmy the Greek May 13th, 2009 5:25 pm ET
You libs are hysterical….
You demand Cheney be questioned about his activities in the last administration….
But when he comes out and speaks about the interrogation memos or answers his critics – you want him to shut-up.
Which is it, Libs??
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
He's not speaking about the memos, he's covering his backside and praying the Country gets attacked again so he can say he was right.
Some American. Just like Jimmy.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy,,,,, such a moron. Just a typical befuddled, hate filled Republican.

Wish him well? Do we wish Osama Bin Laden well? Because Cheney did far more damage to our country then Bin Laden ever did. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. Bin Laden killed 3000 American's. Dick Cheney sent 4000 plus of our bravest Americans to die so that he could make billions. This comment prob wont be posted because the media doesn't like talking about the truth, but as long as you read it, yes YOU, I'm good.

What is it that you Conservative Repugs didn't care for with the Clinton Administration? Was it the peace or the prosperity?

You people don't have a leg to stand on, your party not only wrecked our country but the world...open your eyes and shut your mouth. You people blew it big time. Now if you don't want to help then just get the hell out of the way

Re-party of No: No Ideas, No plans, Nothing new...just a bunch of tired old white racists living in the past–get over it and get away

Uhh, is this news worthy enough for CNN. I mean you are the leader are you not.
These kinds of headlines are the reason I go to CNN.com, and Foxnews.com both. Because somewhere in the middle is the truth, and the rest is just crap.

I hope someone waterboards Cheney

If only Billie could have kept Willie bundled up!

President William J. Clinton could have been GREAT!

As it was he was good; peace and prosperity!

I just don't get it. If a former VP – a Republican – comments about anything a sitting Democrat says or does, he's "out of line"., But we can take a total failure of a Democratic President like Carter or an insignificant one like Clinton – both of whom teed off on Bush and we're supposed to pay homage to their comments as former Presidents.

What HYPOCRITES!!! And the answer is NO. They are even more inept and incompetent as ex-Presidents than they were as Presidents. You never heard Reagan, Bush 1 say anything about Clinton when he was in office. No, ex-Dems have mouths, ex- Repubs have dignity and class out of respect for the office.

You Dems – if you weren't so full of yourselves, you'd be important.

Mr.X vice President: Please give the new administration a break. You had your chance it was for 8 years unfortunately.

Maybe if the press quit asking him on shows, you wouldnt hear much from him.

Hey Joe (5:13), funny how the "most shamed president" in your history is a guy who had an affair... not the guy who authorized torture, started a war by lying to the US people, is the most hated person on the planet and who continues to be viewed as everything wrong with the US. Typical repug logic. You guys are an embarrasment to your country – keep it up!

You libs are hysterical....

Which is it, Libs??

"the most shamed president of our time"?

i'm no big fan of Bubba, but come on.

Bill giving advice on anything besides bedding interns is a waste of time.

Bill Clinton has NOTHING to be ashamed of! He was a Great! President!

Wow, Joe. Really? The most "shamed" president? Maybe if someone offered 'W' some extramarital "advice" while he was in office he'd be impeached, too.

Joe

Bill Clinton was never impeached but don't let fact get in the way of a good story

Hey Joe, the most shamed president of all time is George W Bush, neck and neck up there with Nixon. And Cheenee is the WORST vice president of all time. So, you shut the hell up!

Yeah, like Slick Willy has any moral high ground to offer advice from.

The Cheney's hate America, don't you know?

I hope all the republicans volunteer to be Cheneys targets for a year.

Joe May 13th, 2009 5:12 pm ET

Clinton the impeached one is giving others political advice. Classic. The most shamed president of our time needs to shut the hell up.
********************************************************************
Oh yeah? What about Richard Nixon? That guy was horrible. And though Bush has no shame, Bush has brought a great amount of shame to this nation. I know you would not understand, but it's worth mentioning

Maybe Mr Clinton, the biggest liar in U.S. Presidential history, should heed his own advice. "It's over."

The man is such an egomaniac. Just go cheat on your wife some more.

MidwestGuy May 13th, 2009 5:07 pm ET
Bill Clinton has done more post-presidency helping the poorest citizens of world than your buddy Cheney. Why doesn't Cheney do something useful..like take target practice.

Republicans are a silly bunch

One of the most popular presidents of our time AND he wasn't impeached; old Newt failed. Get your facts straight, stay out of his bedroom, and you shut up.

I wish you the best.

MidwestGuy, Bill clearly recognizes his administration is over... this is the first press he's had in months! Cheney on the other hand has been a daily fixture of late. We all know Dick's positions, he hasn't stated anything new in any of his recent interviews. He needs to move along.

Republicans like Cheney and Limbaugh cannot believe that the country has repudiated their ideas. It is inconveivable to them that the majority of the country has rejected their utter failures at trying to run this nation. What I don't understand is how two men who studiously avoided military service have the gall to promote wars in which other people will die. I guess the Neo-Cons motto is to fight to the last drop of someone elses blood.

****************************************************************
Dick, go stand in the corner and don't come until you are told to. Also write 500 times on the white board, I will not speak again until spoken to !

You mean like shooting on a blue dress, right Bubba?

Why doesn't Clinton just stick to womanizing?

all done and said...cheney WILL shoot HIMSELF

Bill's sense of humor has saved the day. Imagine Cheney trying to alarm citizens with his terrorism "mayday"! Maybe, he was right. Now that he has more time to go hunting, HIS OWN ERRANT SHOTS would pose a problem to John Q. Public. LOL!

Yeah I love how everyone forgot that our ex vice president, while intoxicated, shot somebody in the FACE while hunting. And than afterwards the man APOLOGIZED to Cheney for "distracting" the administration. Yeah, if only everyone who got shot in face on accident apologized to the person who shot them...in the FLIPPING FACE!

Not surprisingly, I disagree with Bill Clinton. But not because I like Cheney–precisely to the contrary, in fact. The more the Cheneys and Limbaughs continue to demonstrate the utter vacuity of the neo-cons, the more likely it is that any remaining paleo-cons in the Republican Party will get up the courage to pitch the bible-thumpers and return the party to its roots.

Hey Dick – do us all a favor and exit but don't use the door that's for ladies and gentlemen only.

Thanks.

Come on Bill.. stick and move, stick in move.. but throw some combo punches in there

Cheney is the biggest crook that ever stepped foot into the white house.
He and Bush are history now, so why does he think anything he say's now matter's?
He need's to slip back into his cave and GO AWAY!!!
As far as the U.S. not being as safe, the last time I checked we have the same armed forces and the same homeland security as when he was in office.
I FEEL SAFER NOW THAN WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE!
Do us all a favor and don't go hunting anymore Mr. Cheney!

Maybe someone should remind Bill that he's "over" too? Something he still doesn't get...

Cheney just hopes to do less prison time or none at all.

I guess the campaign contributor didn't give enough, or Cheney found out he gave to the democrats and kicked him out for having an opinion for himself.

uhh...bill...maybe you should have stuck to national security instead of 'hanging' around in closets

Haha!

I love Bill.

Haha!

Good one Bill!

Good one Mr. President.
