The world wonders: What has happened to Dick Cheney?

[Virginia Dare]

My answer, nothing, he's always been a psychopathic fuckwad.

Is the vice president losing his influence, or perhaps his mind? That question, even if it is phrased more delicately, is creeping through foreign ministries and presidential offices abroad and has become a factor in the Bush administration's relations with the world.

"What has happened to Dick Cheney?" That solicitous but direct question came from a European statesman who has known the vice president for many years. He put it to me a few days ago -- even before the discovery of a blood clot in Cheney's leg and the perjury conviction of Scooter Libby, his former chief of staff, brought headline attention to the volatile state of the vice president's physical, emotional and political health.

1. "Is the vice president losing his influence, or perhaps his mind?"

I'm SHOCKED the WaPo wrote that! Would love to have seen Cheney's reaction when he read that while slurping his Wheaties. :spray:

2. He's probably going the way of Rove ...

still around, just lurking in the wings.

3. He's the type I prefer in the spotlight

because when he's not he's doing dirty work.

4. Cheney may be one of those rare beasts both introverted and megalomaniacal.

He enjoys undoing democracy behind the scenes in a kind of sustained, furtive ambush against the Constitution, while at the same time craves the power this role affords, and lots of it.

5. He's out of line asking that question

:sarcasm:

6. or will he say "hogwash" he has that clot to worry about.
