2. Queeg like...

Captain Queeg...

* In an August 28, 2006 issue of Newsweek, Vice President Dick Cheney is called "increasingly Queeg-like".

* In his column for January 8, 2006, New York Times opinion writer Paul Krugman discusses the "president's (Bush's) Queeg-like inability to own up to mistakes."

Worthy of a chuckle that both Bush and Cheney have been compared to Captain Queeg... though they're both far worse, more malicous and infinitely (and a trillion trillion times more) more damaging to the country.
