    Cheney

    It does seem evident that Cheney is the central madman in the vast right wing conspiracy that is the Bush administration, and it sounds from the article as though his own self-aggrandizement is the point of all of these efforts. We can only hope that he eventually brings upon himself all the pain and grief that he has brought upon others. Liberals and moderates must learn from Cheney's career that we can never compromise with someone like him. He must always be smashed flat and smashed flat again and then smashed flat yet again until he goes away and never comes back (what a nice thought that is!)
