I keep thinking I’m used to it, and then some little thing comes along that gets me agonizing about the death of reality in America. This time it was in the persona of Cheney. An AP report contrasted the little lie with the reality with hilarious (and probably inadvertent) sharpness when Cheney decided to attack Dean:
“I’ve never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I’ve never met anybody who does. He’s never won anything, as best I can tell,” Cheney said in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.
Dean was elected governor of Vermont five times between 1992 and 2000.
So what is it with this bunch? Cheney doesn’t know Dean was governor of Vermont, or he thinks governors there are appointed by Jesus or somebody? Or the Bushies are reduced to talking only to their idiot groupies who lack the basic faculties to spot the most in-your-face lie? My guess is that lying is just what this crowd naturally does like dogs naturally dig things up, and
they’re so far along in their mutually reinforced WhackoWorld that they can’t even put on their clothes for the tourists any more. Or Cheney’s just really, honest to god nuts.
Other explanations would be most welcome.
