Old Faithful Beltway Mediamade time available for America's Torturer-in-Chief; this is a shining example of everything that is wrong with our political/media system in America. Let us count the ways:
1. Predictability: Cheney is not the least bit sorry that America tortured people. Anyone with half a neuron could see this one coming. Cheney has never been sorry about anything he has done in his life. In fact, being Dick Cheney means never having to apologize for anything. Remember, this is a man who shot a friend in the face. The victim of the shooting was made to apologize to Cheney for upsetting his day.
2. More predictability: Meet the Press and Chuck Todd were kissing Cheney's ass again. The only difference between earlier MTP interviews and this one is that the earlier ass kisser is dead. It doesn't make any difference that Cheney has been wrong about everything he has done or predicted. The media will make time for Cheney to go on the air and spread his lies and defend his incompetence.
3. Sociopaths are kings in the Republican Party: Not only can you rise to the top of the political ladder as a sociopath in the Republican Party, but you get to keep the position for life, even if you leave real wreakage behind in your wake. And there is no criticizing the king, except when his wife acts as an asshole to another Republican asshole at a party in Wyoming.
4. I'm writing a diary about said sociopath: The media will not do its job and report that Cheney is a sociopath. This dereliction of duty enrages progressives like myself who then take to the internet to write a diary that only some other progressives will read.
I suppose the cycle could end if we all just shrug our shoulders and say, "He's just being a Dick."
