Sunday Red Meat: Cheney vs. Powell [krakatoa]

USA Today reports the Darth Cheney has aligned himself with Rush Limbaugh over Colin Powell in the fight for the identity of Conservatism.

The tale of the tape:

Colin Powell: A self-described Republican and a right-of-center conservative who nevertheless supported Barack Obama for president and says:

"Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less."

Dick Cheney: An evil ultra-Reich wing fanatic who eats babies and rapes endangered pumas who says:

"If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush Limbaugh. My take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican."

"The suggestion our Democratic friends always make is somehow if you Republicans were just more like Democrats, you'd win elections. Well, I don't buy that. We win elections when we have good solid conservative principles to run upon."

I think it goes without saying that Dick just wants to shoot that Uncle Tom... er, sorry -- flashback to the Bush-era MSM meme -- that principled Conservative Powell in the face for pathologically racist reasons.

But I could be wrong. Is any other interpretation permissable possible?
