Dick, Dick, Dick

Andrew Sulivan pointed out yesterday how nearly all the recent scandals and bad decisions coming from the White House are in some way the responsibility of Dick Cheney's bad judgment. Then today, in an almost comical moment of allegory, he accidentally shoots a man.

This from the guy who was supposed to be the "steady hand" in the administration.

In the long view of history, the great mystery of our political age may be how a man in such a powerless office as Vice-President was ever able to wrap his hands around the power necessary to fuck so many things up so fast. Forget about George Bush. Dick Cheney's malignant heart is what really pumps the blood of corruption through his beloved Washington. It also makes you wonder if the man has taken an NRA safety course in his life.
