FRANKENCHENEY

The time has come for us all to admit this guy is out of control. When it suits him he claims executive privilege. Then, without winking an eye, he claims he can't comply with the law because he's not part of the executive branch. Dick Cheney actually believes he is above the law. Have we had a dictatorial insurrection while I was sleeping?

There is a point in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein where the reader realizes the actual monster is Dr. Frankenstein and not his rampaging creation. We are at a similar point with Frankencheney. We must ask ourselves if Bush, who created this monstrosity is the real culprit. He is the one who hired Cheney to conduct the vetting of possible VPs and then when Cheney claimed he would make the perfect VP said, "uuugh...OK." Now, all the viable options to diffuse the beast are unworkable. Any option requiring congress show some backbone are doubtful. Looks like we're stuck with this monster. If only we can find a way to minimize the damage.

My wife, the dedicated Democrat, is convinced Cheney will be doing hard time in the future. She's confident that Cheney will be convicted of some felony within 5 years of leaving office. I don't discount her idea completely but I wouldn't underestimate the document shredding and email cleaning capabilities of this hideous monster.

I thought you were on a Democrat cartooning spree?

But this Cheney story is just too big. And I can't resist a chance for another Frankenstein allusion.

Wow! I haven't seen a single defender of this craziness that wasn't on Cheney's payroll. I'll assume you're not a Cheney operative....you couldn't be. I've read the document to which you refer, thank you, and it clearly puts the President and Vice President in the Executive branch.

By the way, do you mean the original constitution of the neo-con version?

I really like this one but it's not Frankensteiny enough. Where are the bolts? The scar on the forehead?

We know what Mrs. Freesqueeze thinks, but what do you think about Mr. Cheney's legal future?

VK

You are a true scumbag. How can you put that zipper on him in your juvenile attempt to get laughs about another human being's heart problem?

I would say you've reached a new low but you've been wallowing in the gutter for a long time.

DW

I challenge your assumption of the humanness of Frankencheney. If a creature is pieced together with parts of assorted lobbyists and energy executives, is it really human?
