Dick Cheney: Still Evil After All These Years

Is Dick Cheney evil?

Is “evil” too harsh a word?  Merriam-Webster defines evil as “morally reprehensible,” “arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct,” “causing discomfort or repulsion,” or “causing harm.”   

Consider this trailer for the new film "The World According to Dick Cheney".

Consider this dialog excerpt from the show as printed by the News Corp owned NY Post.   Not favorable.

CHENEY ON CHENEY:

On war: “ It’s more important to be successful than loved.”

On torture: “‘We’re not going to force you to tell, because it might create a bad image for us,’ is not even a close call for me.”

On his own mistakes: “Ahhh, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my faults.”

On engineering Henry Kissinger’s ouster from the Ford White House: “You needed to mix things up a bit there — so he went down.”

On WMD: “We didn’t find stockpiles, but we know [Saddam Hussein] had intent.”

I don't get Showtime but I'll see it eventually.  The pre-publicity serves only to confirm what I believe to be true.

Dick Cheney is an "evil" man.

Oh Please, Let It Be True

House Minority Leader John Boehner was asked by a liberal blogger Thursday to answer questions about an affair with a lobbyist, an allegation that will reportedly be the focus of an upcoming New York Times expose. Boehner ignored the question outright.

The New York Post sees a journalistic plot to drop a bombshell on the upcoming midterm elections by smearing a high-profile GOP leader.  Huff Post

And who owns the NY Post?  Rupert Murdoch. 

"Is it funny?  Is it fair?"  I don't think they are asking those questions this time.  The guy asking the questions is Mike Stark, "an activist and blogger" per Huff Post. .

Wait for it...



Feet of clay, anyone?
