Just a quick thought. I feel I'm hearing Dick Cheney in interviews everyday, telling the public that torture worked. Now the daily news cycle includes his daughter, Liz. To top that off, we have a steady stream of stories about Ms. California.
As for the Cheney family, I get the strategy. They want an terrorist attack on the United States. I mean, what else do they want? In Dick's mind, that would confirm his view that the Bush administration did something right. It's sick. Not to mention wrong; the torture we did engage was a failure. Nothing suggests it had a positive effect at all.
Between that guy, and then having to tolerate a buffoon talk about opposite marriage, I lament the demise of newspapers and reputable news beuraus.

I'm one of those people who actually posits that Dick Cheney is not as sharp as advertised. That said, this seems like kind of a no-brainer, from his perspective. His personal popularity can't sink any lower, so he's got nothing to lose by making the circuit. Their party stands to gain, however, just by having his crazy assertions enter the dialogue in any way shape or form. And of course, there will always be a forum for such views, however crackpotted, thanks to the "equal time" trap into which the major media falls, time and again. Right wing pundit vs. left wing pundit = balance; rather than investigative, honest journalism forcing the chips to fall where they may.
ingno: taking the easy way out on "incognito." As in, your disguise involves only the "Groucho glasses" you get in the toy aisle at Benjamin Franklin.
I guess it's just that I find Cheney so offensive, if only becuase he's still the country's cheerleader on torture.
ingst: the smaller, more subtle variation of angst.
