Dick Cheney is stupid

By Michael J.W. Stickings

How else to explain this?

• "Don Rumsfeld is the finest Secretary of Defense this nation has ever had."

He can't possibly believe that, right? Any sensible person who has been paying attention to reality knows that Rumsfeld has been an unmitigated disaster, a massive failure of historic proportions. So Cheney is either grossly exaggerating to support a long-time friend who was fired and who many people now consider a disaster and a failure, or he's so utterly divorced from reality that he has come to believe his own lies and delusions.

Take your pick.
