Yesterday morning, while I was on the treadmill, I witnessed yet another example of a clueless media type confronted by the one thing that always takes them aback: unapologetic common sense. I laughed, and I told the Husband about it at dinner. I didn’t have a chance to mention it here because I had to post my comments about Barack Hussein Obama’s “My pastor said bad things I don’t agree with, the specific ones I disagree with I can’t say, and which I never heard, or I maybe did, but anyway, people his age are justifably angry, which is why O.J. got away with murder because Mark Furman said the ‘n’ word, just like my grandma, who was a racist because she said she was afraid of young black guys walking down the street, just like Jesse Jackson said he was, and the way to deal with that is to “understand” that anger, as in encourage and nurture it, so that we can heal for all time by electing me” speech.

Specifically, last night at dinner I told the Husband “You should have seen Vice President Cheney on Good Morning America today with Martha Radditz.” The occasion was the five year anniversary of the liberation of Iraq.

When Martha, who always looks like someone just told her her dog died, whined to the Vice President that “Two-thirds of Americans say it’s [the war in Iraq] not worth fighting, he replied “so?” and explained that “you can’t be blown off course by fluctuations in the public opinion polls.” Hey, Martha, what if someone had told Abe Lincoln that ⅔ of the country didn’t think the Civil War was worth fighting? What do you think he would have said? (I’m not even going to get into what Bill Clinton would say about being blown, off course or otherwise.Write your own joke, please.) When Dick Cheney said “So?” I don’t know about you, but I found myself wishing yet again that we had more public officials with both a functioning brain and a rigid spine. “So?” is precisely what these cheerleaders for America’s defeat, ignorant of history and childlike in their failure to recognize that grownups like Mr. Cheney make it possible for them to run around and bloviate about things they can’t begin to understand, such as national security, need to hear.

So then, later last night, for reasons that many of you justifiably believe serve as evidence of my inherent masochism, I decided to watch the “Hot Topics” segment of “The View.” Predictably, the harpies on this worthless expenditure of air time were appalled by Dick Cheney’s unabashed truth telling, Barbara Walters especially. Why doesn’t this lefty fossilized hag go to Havana and change Castro’s diapers or do something more useful than making idiotic remarks on television? The rest of the libs in the media are also in a lather today. God, don’t these people get sick of being damn predictable?

Interviews like yesterdays are why so many of us LOVE Vice President Cheney. Common sense may be on life support in many quarters, particularly in the MSM, but thanks to him, it’s not completely dead.
