The undead walk amongst us
The World According to Dick Cheney premieres at Sundance this Friday, Jan. 18
We live in a post-Buffy world, but having a Blam-Blam documentary strikes me as, well, vile. I can think of very few people more monstrous than this man except for maybe Henry Kissinger. Is there anyone else who has so much blood on his hands?
I understand the need to document history; I believe in that. What concerns me is that this will end up as some sort of rehabilitation exercise, hagiography to make us say that Cheney was misunderstood, or that his motives were good, even if thousands or millions of people died so that his portfolio would live.
Dick Cheney is the real thing, he is Golem, the monster who still walks amongst us. The mechanical heart that kept him alive has been replaced with a human heart, and that poor, unknown bastard must be tormented knowing the organ ripped from his chest is keeping this foul thing alive. We have to remember that even dumb as dirt Chimpy–far too late–realized that craven Cheney was destroying his presidency and ceased seeking advice from this evil freak.
There should be no doubt–none–that Cheney is as evil and monstrous as any version of The Devil that Christians believe in. There is no foundation, no moral position, nothing in the black hole where this man’s soul should be. There is only darkness and eternity; a quest for power and money, and a callow laugh and complete disregard for the pain he has caused others.
Cheney should be documented and the evidence turned over to the Hague for the eventual day when the US signs the Treaty for the International Criminal Court. Cheney should be brought to account for his crimes against humanity, and like a cheap knock-off of Paradise Lost, he should chained to a rock in a sea of burning tar for all eternity, perhaps with a spot next to him for Kissinger. He is an object-lesson of the depravity of mankind.
Aw, c’mon K, tell us what you reeeeeally think!
Yes.
That would be it.
I wished I believed there really was a hell. Cheney could hang out with his idol Stalin and Hitler. I wonder if having to hang out with Kissinger, who is Jewish, would be hell for Hitler? Maybe the utter evil of the man would would be enough for Hitler to overlook that fact. Misery loves company and so does evil.
Unfortunely I think Hell was a lie made up to keep the little people in line. Hell if you don’t do as the Masters say, Heaven if you do.
It would be an interesting debate as to who’s worse.
Kissinger: More deaths by prolonging Vietnam, the Cambodian incursion, hanging out with Tricky. Refused to get involved with the 9/11 investigation when he found out he had to reveal his clients. Hank the K did serve during WWII (on our side).
Cheney: Lied us into war, greeted as liberators, last throes, etc. Benefited from all those no-bid contracts to Halliburton. Willingly married a reptile, had reptile spawn.
Carol, I suspect Cheney wishes there was a Hell also. He could probably best Satan two out of three and take over.

“I’d rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven” — Lucifer or Cheney?

Cheney willfully – GLEEFULLY – sanctioned torture.
If one ever has a moment of doubt about how evil Dick Cheney really was and is — all one needs to do is listen to his daughter Liz speak for a few minutes.
He’s not evil. That’s too easy and lazy a descriptor. He believes that he is a righteous man, with Good on his side. That’s far far worse.
Perhaps it is because of my age and political philosophy, but no one has yet surpassed Richard Milhous Nixon as the worst, most corrupt American President. Luckily, Dick Cheney never achieved that office, so he may serve as the most corrupt American Vice President ever.
Meanwhile, Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper are neck-in-neck for the top spot as worst, most corrupt Canadian Prime Minister, with Harper having – at most, before facing the voters – 33 more months to go until an election must be called.
At least America’s most recent bad actor politician is out of office. Not so in Canada.
