Maureen Dowd: Cheney Spits Toads

Maureen Dowd minces no words. Her NYT piece is very entertaining, especially if you believe that Dick Cheney has no decency. That's all of us, right?

Dowd writes:
In 1992, the senior Mr. Bush wooed the voters with "Message: I care." So this week, Mr. Cheney wooed the voters with, Message: You die.

The terrible beauty of its simplicity grows on you. It is a sign of the dark, macho, paranoid vice president's restraint that he didn't really take it to its emotionally satisfying conclusion: Message: Vote for us or we'll kill you.

It's like that fairy tale where vipers and toads jump out of the mouth of the accursed mean little girl when she tries to speak. Every time Mr. Cheney opens his mouth, vermin leap out.
