   Dick Cheney: Free Speech at Five Hundred Dollars a Plate   
   By bluegal   
      
   The thing that's been completely left out of the Dick Cheney "how dare   
   anyone dither when it comes to blowing up our enemies and rewarding our   
   torturers" speech is the context in which that speech was given.   
      
   The Villagers don't like to talk about specifics when it comes to the   
   beltway dinner circuit at which so many of them feed.   
      
   This dinner, minimum $500.00 a plate, was to given by the self-described,   
   and I am not making this up, "non-partisan organization" The Center for   
   Security Policy. Dick Cheney was speaking at their 20th anniversary dinner,   
   at which he received the, hold back your breakfast now, "Keeper of the   
   Flame" award. Cheney was introduced by, among others, Don Rumsfeld, a former   
   awardee himself. You know who else has this prize sitting on a shelf in   
   their well-appointed Georgetown dens?   
      
   Joe Lieberman   
   Duncan Hunter   
   James Inhofe   
   Paul Wolfowitz   
   Newt Gingrich   
   Ronald Reagan   
   Jon Kyl   
   Caspar Weinberger   
      
   Okay, then. So why would anyone not expect a bowl full of neocon crazy in   
   his acceptance speech? He's among friends.   
      
   Why can't the press be honest? And how, at this point in history, has that   
   become a completely rhetorical question?
