D.C. Dick

I got a good chuckle out of this when Cursor pointed to it the other day. Go take a look and come back and tell me why anyone takes Dick Cheney seriously anymore. I know he's got that big mean scowl on his face which, for some reason, endows one with "gravitas" or whatever. And I know that we can usually expect politicians to be less than trutful, but Jesus at what point does this man get held accountable for the improbable amount of crap that flows out of him as though he were an industrial hog farm? Here's what he said yesterday about the, now openly acknowledged, U.S. torture operation at GITMO.
Mr. Cheney dismissed calls to close the facility, which holds terrorism suspects. "They got a brand new facility down at Guantánamo," Mr. Cheney said in an interview with CNN. "We spent a lot of money to build it. They're very well treated down there."

"They're living in the tropics," he added. "They're well fed. They've got everything they could possibly want. There isn't any other nation in the world that would treat people who were determined to kill Americans the way we're treating these people."
Now, see that's not so bad is it? Can you think of a better way to spend your summer vacation? Have you seen the flyer?
