It's touching to see that his faith in The Big Lie is still intact. The man has an absolutely incredible ability to stare Reality in the eye and deny that he sees anything.

Rufus T. Firefly would be proud

Forget polls, the incoming guy ran a campaign about how much Bush and Cheney sucked and won a way more "comfortable" victory than those clowns ever did.

Even if Saddam did sponsor terrorists why is invasion his base plan of action? There are certainly lots of governments that sponsor terror.

Also, chemical weapons, he didn't have any! Nuclear weapons, he didn't have any! Took down the Taliban, aren't they still in Afghanistan, still wreaking havok, still issuing orders and contributing to circumstances where little girls are having acid thrown on them for the gall of learning.

What about the booming opium trade, is he proud of that outcome too?

Of course when you go to the military and speak to small groups of insular people who think like you do, your going to get the impression that people are happy with you. Sure soldiers are certainly going to back talk to a superior or tell him all the things he screwed up on.

So he believes what he wants, how else is he going to sleep at night.

Even if Cheney doesn't believe in polls he should check out the last election that beat the Republicans without mercy. He may not take any responsibility for anything his administration has done, but consider how badly the Republican Party has suffered as a result of his leadership in it. And this isn't even mentioning the country at all. He's a total failure on all levels, but he pretends that he's won all.

QUESTION: But Mr. Vice President, getting from there to here, 4,500 Americans have died, at least 100,000 Iraqis have died. Has it been worth that?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I think so.

This man needs to be kept away from other people.

These guys actually believe their own crap. I love how they "inherited" Global Terr'ism and how that problem "wasn't managed properly" before they came along. And now everything is just skookum. (Let's see, OBL still on the loose, the Taliban still in charge, nothing much changed in the ME except one tyrant is dead and another country is in ruins, etc.)

I'm sure more posters will continue this vein, but I for one am always, always astonished at this man's hubris.

He's deluded, sociopathic, even psychopathic. A truly evil man. He leaves a trail of death wherever he goes.

"And [Saddam Hussein] did have a relationship with al Qaeda."

Geeze. You'd think someone on staff would've given the Vice-President of the United States a copy of the report of the 9-11 Commission, which explicitly says that he didn't.

Maybe the problem was that they just didn't have good help.

(E.Waugh or C.S.Lewis ??) that the Devil, ( AKA Satan, Lucifer, Prince of Darkness , Be-elzebub, The Serpent, The Father of Lies, The Enemy, God's Enemy and The Fallen One) was NOT some hideous creature with scales and claws nor with goatee, pitchfork and red cape but "The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit" Lewis I think.

Who was it that wrote of the "Banality of Evil".... Eric Fromm?

Cheney is among the minions of "The Father of Lies"...

Dick is the poster-boy for this type of extreme delusion. May his pace-maker continue to malfunction on a regular basis & his suffering be agonizing.

Cheney needs to be prosecuted--note that he didn't object to the fact that he was the most powerful vp in history, just that this hasn't been a failed presidency. So let's take him at his word and prosecute him, for what the last Congress didn't have the guts to impeach him for, high crimes and misdemeanors. War crimes-crimes against humanity, of which he is surely guilty.

Failing having the moral courage to do the right thing (we are Americans, after all), let's put him to a Truth Tribunal. Let's have sit in the dock while his victims testify against him--even if there's no punishment involved.

Oh, and let's tax him down to the lower middle class. We can at least do that.

The Ugly American indeed.

None of us will ever know if Cheney believes his own crap. But I’ve no doubt this interview will be pure Bush/Cheney: stick to message no matter how preposterous the content. It’s how they convinced Americans to invade Iraq, it’s how they evaded accountability when Katrina flattened the Gulf Coast, and it’s how they’ll try to reinvent their place in history.

Lies are truth and truth is lies; this is the Bush administration's enduring legacy. I would think that, after eight interminable years, my blood pressure wouldn’t spike every time they spew their “opposite day” rhetoric. More than 100,000 dead? The Veep sees a bargain. In what universe, Mr. Cheney?

They’re not masters of spin; they’re purveyors of unreality. When history looks back, this will be the administration's unmatched achievement. I can only hope we never again tolerate such arrogance, cynicism, and contemptuous hypocrisy.

Goodbye, Dick. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

The idea is to prevent another attack, not respond to one. Clinton responded in 1993 and treated it as a law enforcement problem. One of the financiers went on to be the major architect of 9/11. If Iraq is not linked to terrorists, why were there so many of them shooting at us in Iraq? We were and are killing Al Qaeda terrorists.

I think he knows he's spewing bullshit. I don't think he cares. The rights mantra is "never admit your wrong even after it's been proven to you". Why do you think we're still fighting about evolution and global warming? He cares more about sticking it to his critics and giving his defenders more material to work with then he does about anything else. This guy is even more dangerous then Bush because at least Bush has the excuse he was/is stupid. True justice would be for another final heart attack two weeks after leaving office.
