In attempt to avoid any political talk (God forbid people on a message board argue), let me ask this in the most gentle way possible: Is it pretty much agreed now that Cheney is the worst human being to ever rise to such authority in this country?

In an elected position, you might be right. Though I think a lot of folks would put Karl Rove right up there with Cheney.

"Courage and Consequence" is an hysterical laugh riot. One of the
finest displays of selective memory in the history of publishing.

The reason I ask is because I live in a rather conservative -- if not the most conservative -- state there is. Around here, the GOP can do no wrong and Sarah Palin would win easily. And yet, even here, when Cheney's tactics and the things he did are brought up, no one really disputes that he's just a bad guy who did terrible, terrible things in the interest of politics and money.

To me, he's a different kind of figure, because I think that no matter how ridiculously loyal the average person is in their political beliefs -- I'm not talking about the wackjobs on either side here -- I think we can all see where the majority of politicians, especially those who end up at the very top, are for the most part good, well-intentioned people. We might disagree vehemently with their ways or tactics or beliefs, but we don't necessarily think of them as evil, greedy, selfish shits who would gladly sell out an entire country if it meant personal gain.

Take GWB, there's not much that man did his final six years that I agreed with, but I don't think of him as a bad person. We just had different beliefs, and I think he was pulled the wrong direction a few times by GOPers who were only interested in political or personal gain. I would have to think most Republicans think of Obama the same way.

But Cheney ... is there anyone out there who thinks this guy wasn't, well, evil?

Hey dog, you're a good guy and you probably didn't mean that "argue" comment to come out as snide as it did. Or maybe you did mean that, no matter.
If argue was the only issue, we wouldn't have an issue. It's not.

Absolutely. I, for one, want him back out there running his mouth as often as possible.

His eternity in Hell will come soon enough (and last long enough).

No need to rush him there.

Like George Wallace before him, perhaps Cheney's punishment is being kept alive.

Precisely. As one who doesn't believe in heaven or hell, I think he should keep on living to witness the devastation his ideology has brought mankind.

Whatever was human in Cheney was replaced years ago.

He's been fully assimilated.

Maybe I missed your examples (i.e., facts), but I can't think of anything evil he's done. Not off the top of my head.

I'm not going to belabor this . . . but conning Fredo into invading Iraq, just for openers. Bullshit war, based on a bullshit premise.
Incalculable blood, treasure and goodwill squandered . . . but, hey, there's oil there, and Halliburton made money.

Gag.

Thank blessed God those self-serving creeps are no longer directly at the controls.

Carry on.
