DOWD: Destroys Beyond Delusional, Deranged Dick

[kpete]

Dowd destroys beyond delusional, deranged Dick
by Joe in DC - 1/27/2007


Delusional is far too mild a word to describe Dick Cheney. Delusional doesn’t begin to capture the profound, transcendental one-flew-over daftness of the man.

Has anyone in the history of the United States ever been so singularly wrong and misguided about such phenomenally important events and continued to insist he’s right in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

It requires an exquisite kind of lunacy to spend hundreds of billions destroying America’s reputation in the world, exhausting the U.S. military, failing to catch Osama, enhancing Iran’s power in the Middle East and sending American kids to train and arm Iraqi forces so they can work against American interests.

.....................

You must have a real talent for derangement to stay wrong every step of the way, to remain in complete denial about Iraq’s civil war, to have a total misunderstanding of Arab culture, to be completely oblivious to the American mood and to be absolutely blind to how democracy works.

In a democracy, when you run a campaign that panders to homophobia by attacking gay marriage and then your lesbian daughter writes a book about politics and decides to have a baby with her partner, you cannot tell Wolf Blitzer he’s “out of line” when he gingerly raises the hypocrisy of your position.

1. He is grinding his Nixonion axe. He has a grudge that he will carry

through this life an beyond. Right now he has the power to rub our faces in the mud and god dammit that is what he going to do.

2. Beyond delusional, DANGEROUS.

3. But, over and over, I think the truly scary thing is not that he and Bush

are crazy, or demented, or deranged, or whatever.

The real question is why our entire system of government allows them to have their way.

4. I don't buy it

Something tells me that Cheney is completly aware of what he's doing, and he's enjoying it. Watching his interview with Wolfie, one gets the impression of a school boy winking at his buddies while he lies through his teeth to the vice principal.

5. yes, their plans are going just like they want them to

and so far nobody has stopped them. of course they are smirking.
