The Rehabilitation of Dick Cheney
Liberals used to excoriate Vice President Dick Cheney as “Darth” Cheney for his role promoting all those wars (which I also opposed, for other reasons). He was a Big Baddie in Oliver Stone’s “W” movie, in 2008 about George W. Bush’s first four years of presidency; and “Vice,” as recently as three years ago, about Cheney himself.
Now, all of a sudden, after the Left merged with the D.C. Establishment, Cheney has been rehabilitated through the glorification of his daughter, Rep. Liz. All because the Establishment hates Trump so much, anybody who crosses him is elevated to the pantheon of those fighting him.
Today the Jeff Bozos Washington Post ran three front-page stories boosting this 21st Century Dick and Liz. (Here’s the 20th Century Dick and Liz, who were more fun.):
“The purging of Liz Cheney is about much more than the future of the GOP” is by Dan Balz.
“Republicans’ conflicting message: Embracing Trump election lie is key to prominence, just stop asking us about it” is by Michael Kranish. Marianna Sotomayor and Jacqueline Alemany.
“Trump killed the old GOP — and he’s getting away with the murder,” by Colbert I. King.
Another Post story: “The meat industry is doing exactly what Big Oil does to fight climate action.” Yeah, they also want us to eat bugs as our “protein.” They report Colorado’s nutty governor, Jared Polis, “issued a proclamation encouraging people to avoid eating meat on March 20.”
So, your future is: Hate Trump, love Dick/Liz Cheney and eat bugs.
