We should really start doing a daily quote by Vladimir Putin because he’s been saying some off the wall stuff lately. So, in part one of our series, here’s your Pooty-Poo quote of the day:
“I think the statements of your vice president [Cheney] of this sort are the same as an unsuccessful hunting shot.”

It is being reported that the U.S. Military is ending its loving relationship with Dick Cheney’s former company Halliburton. Halliburton has served bravely and with honor in Iraq contracting services from truck drivers to laundry services. Oh wait, that’s not true.
From LA Times:
Under the deal, Halliburton had exclusive rights to provide the military with a wide range of work that included keeping troops around the globe fed, sheltered and in communication with friends and family back home.
Government audits turned up more than $1 billion in questionable costs.
Whistle-blowers said the company charged $45 a case for sodas, double-billed on meals and allowed troops to bathe in contaminated water.
Bathing in contaminated water…what’s so bad about that?

From Think Progress:
Bush’s term is winding down and he is now officially a lame duck. We know this because right-wingers are already talking about a pardon for Scooter Libby, the VP’s chief of staff who was indicted for lying under oath to a federal grand jury. A pardon could come sooner rather than later.
One attorney familiar with the Plame case said Bush might find that it is in his interest to pardon Libby sooner rather than later.
A pardon before the trial could could cut off the disclosures and spare Vice President Dick Cheney from testifying as Fitzgerald’s witness about Libby, his former chief of staff.
But the timing of a pardon, the attorney suggested, likely would depend on the outcome of the midterm elections.
If Republicans retain control of Congress, Bush could act swiftly. But if Democrats win control of the House or Senate, Bush might wait, and use Libby’s trial as an excuse not to cooperate with any congressional investigations into the leak.
The counterargument to a pardon this year or next, however, is that it would be a political bombshell and distract from Bush’s agenda.
DiGenova predicted that Bush, like other presidents, would issue controversial pardons on his last day in office.

What’s the deal with Dick? He used to be so lively. Full of vim and vigor. But these days he just doesn’t seem as excited about destroying the world as he used to be.
Or maybe it’s just like a cat after a big meal. He’s consumed a century or two of American pride and prestige in a few massive bites. Somebody needs a nap.

Tony Snow, the former Fox News anchor who will serve as White House Press Secretary did an interview with Bill Sammon of The Examiner. Here are some excerpts. Read to the bottom.
Snow on calling Bush an embarrassment:
I knew it was something I’d have to deal with, but ironically, I had to deal with it the first time I went into the White House. I’d also been somewhat critical of the first President Bush.
Snow on DNC Chairman Howard Dean:
Howard Dean was the one public figure who came out hard, but Howard doesn’t know me.
Snow on Bush’s low polling numbers:
When you have a president in the 30s and Congress in the 20s, that’s bad. And I think one way you restore it is by behaving, by acting in a genial way.
Snow on President Bush punching his critics in the face:
You’ve seen the president take a lot of blows on the chin because he doesn’t want to ball up his fist and knock people’s teeth out. There’s an opportunity to make people — even people who disagree with us — feel really good about the whole thing.
President George W. Bush balling up his fist and knocking people’s teeth out…PRICELESS.
Flashback: Vice President Dick Cheney shoots a man in the face, neck and heart.

With that sorry record, the leaders of the Democratic Party have decided to run on the theme of competence. If they’re competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol.
