I guess I don't <i>blindly</i> hate him. And I find it kind of sad that so many of you take such vitriolic offense to a joke about WV, of all places. I didn't realize they had the internets in the Ozarks. I hate hate hate Cheney but that was a fairly decent joke. I guess I don’t blindly hate him.

He has shown contempt for the people of the United States and the United States Constitution. He has shown contempt for humanity and this planet. He is a liar and a crook. Dick Cheney should be impeached and so should George W. Bush. This man is not fit to hold public office. He has shown contempt for the people of the United States and the United States Constitution.

In fact, I think that's why he brought up the incest thing; he was uncomfortable admitting he's related to Obama. Bwwwaaaahh! He did admit Obama was his cousin, though.

Cheney apologizes for a joke which offended people's feelings. He needs to apologize for sending Americans off to die in a war based on lies for his profit and his cronies profits. People died and a sovereign nation was sent into turmoil because of his lies. That was certainly more destructive than making a joke. Shame on Cheney.
