Dick, Dick, Dick (Cheney)

What's with Dick? The guy has more problems than Dr. Marlena Evans on "Days of our Lives." If we go back and look at his history, and then move forward to Scooter's perjury conviction, Dick's got issues.

Dems have long scorned him for his role as a the former head of Halliburton. Every time a government contract was awarded in the Middle East, Dick was given credit on blame, depending on the party doling it out. His health sucks: he had four heart attacks prior to being VP, and now he's got a blood clot in his legs. Critics would say it is in his brain. Far be it from me to judge anyone, especially the critics.

Oh geez, I almost forgot my favorite Dick story, when he sprayed shots in the face of a 78-year old neocon crony.

Then there's his attitude about Iraq, which evidently differs from W on his attitude. Maybe W started believing he was actually running the country and formed his own opinion. That wasn't much better than the old "I'm with Dick," W.

Dick's hard-line on Iraq has spawned cartoons and he's the butt of late-night TV; his more relaxed view on Iran has caused critics to speculate that his perspective is shaded by his experience at Halliburton, a company that would love to do biz with Iran.

I've said it here before, but Dick is, well, a dick. But god, he sure gives a blogger something to write about. Thanks, Dick.
