Dick Cheney saw massacre.
And he called it success.
This Kevorkian of the constitution has a preternatural gift that allows him to be as inaccurate about predicting the future -- "we'll be treated as liberators" -- as he is when announcing the ever-changing present -- "the insurgency is in its last throes" -- being in this case, approximately how many thousand body bags short?
Isn't there some kind of law against contempt of the electorate?
The vast shortage of intelligence in Washington now ends at the Potomac. Six years of governmental abuse have educated that segment of the American people that once trusted and believed in Cheney and the nation's chief sock puppet, and even this bunch has finally seen the light -- the one that is powered entirely by oil and natural gas.
Some years ago, Webb Hechler, a law professor at the University of Kansas created what he dubbed "the Pig Rule of law."
Its principle: "if you overreach egregiously, cosmic justice will have its way with you."
I think we're almost there, don't you?
