So?
CHENEY: On the security front, I think there’s a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That’s been a major success. There you have it. In perhaps the most searingly honest statement in the history of this foul regime, the architect of it's most soul-dead atrocities sums up in one succinct sound bite their overarching worldview.RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.
RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?
CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.
Just in case you somehow still labored under the quaint notion that you lived in a representative democracy, Dick Cheney clearly disabuses you of such Pollyanna-ish thoughts. If somehow you have lived through the precipitous decline in quality of life and liberty that is the United States in the first decade of the new millennium without noticing the fundamental changes in both government and governance that have taken place, with a single word, our malignant VP slapped some clarity into your vision.
And so, this is what it has come to. Economic decline, endless war, authoritarian government and a bloated plutocracy. And when asked for a bit of concern for the cares, dreams, hopes and aspirations of the population, Dick Cheney has his "let them eat cake" moment.
So?

thanks stuffmeister...as always, you said it well....
um, wow. sick. and wow. thanks for writing about this.
Cheney would be fucking hilarious if he wasn't so evil.
But seriously. You couldn't make a fictional character like Cheney, 'cause no one would think it was realistic.
He's like Dr Evil crossed with the Emperor.
I am fairly certain that Cheney dreams of setting fire to the Reichstag, whoops, I mean Congress and declaring martial law.
