Rush vs Carville (even a Carville/Begala tag-team) would be fun, too. Would love watching Carville whimpering in a corner.

I can see the debate now:
Prez Obama, your opening statement.
Uhh, ah, um, er, well, uhh, ah, er, um…
Kini on March 15, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Dick Cheney’s comments about Rush are MUST viewing for Steele, McCain, and anyone else who considers themselves allied, if not acquainted, with the Godzilla of Talk Radio.
That is how you stand by your friends. I heart Mr. Cheney and wish him years of peace and happiness with his family.
itzWicks on March 15, 2009 at 9:32 PM
My thought exactly . I am trying to think if I have ever heard Rush stammer like that.
Jamson64 on March 15, 2009 at 9:32 PM
How about
Mr. Obama, your opening statemnet.
Obama “Acme Teleprompter Inc.. Software Version 1.9.1.2 …. firmware version 4.3.2.1 … Status… Power on… scroll rate 3 lpm ….brightness 5 ….contrast 7… press any key to continue”
bullseye on March 15, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Then he would just throw a bunch of DVDs at Rush and run out of the debate…
Upstater85 on March 15, 2009 at 9:34 PM
too funny -much like the talking heads…many will read anything put in front of them.
Jamson64 on March 15, 2009 at 9:35 PM
The debate will be delayed as President TelePrompter’s software/internet guru is on a leave of absence due to an FBI investigation……
TN Mom on March 15, 2009 at 9:38 PM
getalife:
“substance”
like your arguments and President Training Wheels..you’re both completely devoid of it.
spareadime on March 15, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Interesting…now Obama continues this illegal war…is he a war criminal?
Jamson64 on March 15, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I will always believe that Cheney and especially Rove should have been out in the limelight more often. They were demonized and I think had people been able to see just how intelligent they are it would have only been good.
Jamson64 on March 15, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Carville can’t debate. All he does is yell and try to do the country-boy routine.

Yes indeed… Lays it out for all to hear. And the way Obambi tried shut him up was a big joke. No matter what else we’ve been told about that exchange, it cost Obama points.
RalphyBoy on March 15, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Remember when the Republican Party wasn’t full of total pussies eager to throw anyone under the bus in order to appear more “moderate”? That was pretty cool.
therightwinger on March 15, 2009 at 11:10 PM
I know someone who’s going to get a Secret Service visit…..
Random Numbers (Brian Epps) on March 15, 2009 at 11:44 PM
Don’t try to hard because he does it often enough so that it’s not rare. But he doesn’t try to hide it by cleaning up the transcripts and he doesn’t do it every day.
Contrast that with Obambi, who does it 99% of the time when he doesn’t have his
bongTelePrompTer with him.And it really isn’t fair any more since Rush is deaf and must read the words of the call before he can let his “brain clutch” engage. Did anybody notice how clunky-looking that cochlear implant is?
Can anyone seriously believe that Obambi would go out in public wearing one of those? He’d be too afraid of the ear jokes and comments that would follow.
platypus on March 15, 2009 at 11:57 PM
God bless Dick Cheney. What a great non-weenie answer. Everybody who asks the question about Rush should be reminded of the debate offer. Epic win.
Mojave Mark on March 16, 2009 at 12:01 AM
Puuuleeeeese!!! Kaptain! You don’t break out the nukes to swat a fly!
Random Numbers (Brian Epps) on March 16, 2009 at 12:34 AM
I don’t think we have to worry about Rush making a fool out of BHO, he is doing an excellent job of it him self. Rush would just finish driving the stake through him.
N4646W on March 16, 2009 at 12:48 AM
With those ears, does he need one?
N4646W on March 16, 2009 at 12:51 AM

Yep, and Boortz hates smokers.
N4646W on March 16, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Notice’d don’t see much from Allahpundit when the Boss comes to town.

BARRY SOETORO has neither the nerve to debate – nor the permission of his wife.
BHO Jonestown on March 16, 2009 at 1:38 AM
Who is BARRY SOETORO & why is he in the White House?
BHO Jonestown on March 16, 2009 at 2:35 AM
Coffee spilled on my keyboard when I read that line. But no matter. I have not laughed this hard since the last election.
I, too, like the former VP Dick Cheney a lot.

Does anyone think that the adult stem cell researchers will be building new hearts in time for 2012?
darktood on March 16, 2009 at 3:46 AM
THAT should be our frikkin’ president, ladies and gentlemen.
DrZin on March 16, 2009 at 5:51 AM
Who let Chaney out of the whitehouse basement, haven’t seen him in 2 years.
workingforpigs on March 16, 2009 at 8:33 AM
to quote Robin Williams in “Good Morning Vietnam”
“He could fly to Guam with those ears.”
todler on March 16, 2009 at 8:33 AM
VP Cheney should live and be well and continue to express his thoughts so that lesser Republicans may learn from him.
SKYFOX on March 16, 2009 at 9:19 AM
I don’t know about that, but I do know that if Cheney were so inclined, he could rip out someone else’s beating heart and transplant it into his own chest all while manning the Situation Room.
myrenovations on March 16, 2009 at 9:33 AM
It will never happen…couldn’t fit the teleprompters in the radio station.
right2bright on March 16, 2009 at 9:56 AM
Well then you should get out more…the rest of us have seen and enjoyed listening to him.
Just a few weeks ago he was ripping Obama on being weak in foreign policy.
Then he ripped him on Gitmo.
right2bright on March 16, 2009 at 9:58 AM
I wish Cheney had a shot at the top spot for a term. He could have been a great.
Tremmy on March 16, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Everytime Cheney speaks, MSNBC devotes 2 days whining to it while the Obamessiah burns the country down.
Speedwagon82 on March 16, 2009 at 10:26 AM
I love Dick Cheney.
I, too, would pay to see that debate. Perhaps C-SPAN could set it up as a pay-per-view.
Oink on March 16, 2009 at 10:46 AM
I love Cheney even more because the whining liberals hate him so much!
ObamatheMessiah on March 16, 2009 at 10:57 AM
For eight years the classless and clueless Dems bashed Bush and he never defended himself.
Now it looks like for Dick Cheney the gloves have come off and President Pinnochio and his merry band of incompetents and nincompoops in congress are fair game.
Good hunting Vice President Cheney you have more class in your little finger than either current inhabitant of the White House could ever hope to have.
Will thwe MSM ever allow Cheney on again?
dhunter on March 16, 2009 at 11:04 AM
Dr. Mark Levin
Smartest guy on radio. He may go off on rants and scream a bit, but the guy is absolutely a razor on breaking down topics, economics, policies, history, breaking down what why representatives do things, and he’s not afraid to call people out (note his call with David Frum)…brilliant guy.
He would absolutely dismantle Obama and embarrass him so completely, that Michelle would have to get a wet-vac to clean up the mess.
Geministorm on March 16, 2009 at 11:11 AM
Would I be ‘tooting my own horn’ by stating Dick Cheney was my FIRST choice for President in 1999-2000? GWB sealed the deal for me when he chose him as VP.
As to the Rush/Obama debate….I wish Rush would have stated that the ONLY restriction was no teleprompters. That he would meet him any place, any time. Even with Gwen Ifilltingling as a moderator, Rush would wipe the floor.
dish on March 16, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Thank you, VP Cheney, for teaching Republicans how to respond to this question. Would that they would all learn…
Christian Conservative on March 16, 2009 at 12:04 PM
The Boss is in!
Sultry Beauty on March 16, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Well Well The White house Gibbs has a reply.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96VAGVG1&show_article=1
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House says former Vice President Dick Cheney is the second most popular member of the “Republican cabal,” behind only talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
upcountrywater on March 16, 2009 at 4:24 PM
Sarah Palin/Jeb Bush 2012! Stand back, put on an apron and face shield, and watch the heads explode!
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 16, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Intolerance. Bigotry. Control people’s lives. Require Christian loyalty oath. Fringe religious zealots.
Credit where due. You have definitely established that Bush Derangement Syndrome is alive and well among certain supposed Republicans.
ThereGoesTheNeighborhood on March 16, 2009 at 11:31 PM
That’s why I have always loved this guy. I wish I would have had a Cheney/whoever yard sign this year.
LtE126 on March 17, 2009 at 6:00 AM
.
He’s not so inclined if he was he would be a democrat, and I wouldn’t care.
