"I'm Vice President And They're Not"

@ 06:54 PM (34 months, 9 days ago)

Will someone please tell the "grown-ups" in the Bush White House to, well, GROW UP!

When George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were seeking the White House in 2000, there was a lot of talk from the folks doing their bidding that if the Bush/Cheney ticket one, the "grown-ups" would be in charge again (as if they weren't during the Clinton years).

But in a new interview with Newsweek magazine, Dick Cheney seems like anything BUT a grown-up.

He was asked how he felt about the criticism of him, coming from some of the very same Republicans that he was worked closely with in the past, such as Brent Scrowcroft.  Cheney's response?  "Well, I'm vice president and they're not."

Cheney sounds like some 5 year old kid having a 'I can tie my shoes better than you' moment. 

From Newsweek:

And other comments—criticism from [Brent] Scowcroft about not knowing you anymore. People have gotten quite personal, people you worked with before. You wouldn't be human if you didn't have some reaction.
Well, I'm vice president and they're not.
