Maureen Dowd: Deconstructing Delusional "BIG-TIME" DICK! [Vice-president Cheney]

Via-Americablog (Joe), The Incomparable Maureen Dowd [NY Times]:
(w/ commentary.)

Delusional is far too mild a word to describe Dick Cheney. Delusional doesn’t begin to capture the profound, transcendental one-flew-over
daftness of the man...

Clinically? Clinically: Cuckoo-cuckoo, Cuckoo!

Has anyone in the history of the United States ever been so singularly wrong and misguided about such phenomenally important events and continued to insist he’s right in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

(Rhetorically,) and categorically HELL NO!! And unfortunately, he's driving! Georgie follows Big-Time Dick with the blind-faith of a dog!
So, here we are!

It requires an exquisite kind of lunacy to spend hundreds of billions destroying America’s reputation in the world, exhausting the U.S. military, failing to catch Osama, enhancing Iran’s power in the Middle East and sending American kids to train and arm Iraqi forces so they can work against American interests...

Said before, it'll take decades to "reverse"
the(ir) reckless-damage & the embarrassment they, the Bush admin., have saddled the Country with.

Only someone with an inspired alienation from reality could, under the guise of exorcising the trauma of Vietnam, replicate the trauma of Vietnam.

You must have a real talent for derangement to stay wrong every step of the way, to remain in complete denial about Iraq’s civil war, to have a total misunderstanding of Arab culture, to be completely oblivious to the American mood and to be absolutely blind to how democracy works...

They literally DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING (anymore); about anything! 'Like (deaf) horses w/ blinders, they stomp ahead!

In a democracy, when you run a campaign that panders to homophobia by attacking gay marriage and then your lesbian daughter writes a book about politics and decides to have a baby with her partner, you cannot tell Wolf Blitzer he’s “out of line” when he gingerly raises the hypocrisy of your position... END -Maureen Dowd-

"Daftness," indeed. ...Bastard(s)!

That Wolf Blitzer-CNN-interview with Big-Time Dick was AWESOME. "Top o' the bloody Pops..." And revealing. Here's some off-the-top favorite Cheney quotes, from me as I remember them:

"Hogwash!!!" ...So what!
Bah, humbug! Bleh...
"'Not listening."
"Credibility, Wolf?"
Bah... Bah! "So?"
Who? ...So? "No!"
No, I'm not; You are!
"Your out-of-line..."
