...at least, he did back in 1994. The guy is really his own worst critic.

This is easy - his post-9/11 vision of a mushroom cloud changed everything, so IOKIYAR won't go too far. But maybe you can ask Mr. Vice President, precisely what dat did you turn into a raving loony?

Funny, tho.

No, I think it's bcz a big clip was shown on Daily Show & then a guy who wrote a book about Cheney was asked questions about this 1994 statemen by Jon Stewart.

(Just a hypothesis, I mean, that's how I found out about it.)

The "things are different" explanation (which is a perfectly fair point)* in no way diminishes the irony of his detailing -- very precisely -- many of the issues we've dredged up. The weirdest reflection is the one on war planning: we plotted this war as if those problems weren't going to emerge, despite their SURELY being obvious to everyone involved.

* haha the additional things-are-different explanation would be "yes but he'd spent years further developing his WMDs, which we really honestly thought he had, sorry about that"

seven months pass...

Nancy Pelosi was very happy and honored to be invited by Cheney on a fishing trip to Idaho. She was all excitement until she realized, at the river, something was quite wrong. Cheney had that trade mark grin as she felt his hand around her skinny neck as he flung her out into the river like a bag of garbage. She squawked like a chicken as the river carried her around the bend and out of sight. She was last seen screaming in her cell phone for her security. While hardly able to control himself giggling Cheney flung his line out and hooked a trophy size trout. A good time was had by all as later they sipped rum and puffed on fat expensive cigars. Nancy sat by the fire wrapped in a blanket filing her teeth.
As Nancy sat curled up by the roaring fire, naked except for a wool blanket wrapped around her quivering and yearning body, and hearing the men snicker while sipping rum and smoking obscenely expensive cigars, she thought, "Wow! I'm glad I didn't go hunting with nearsighted old goat !"
