The Amazing Dick Cheney

Here it is, the quote of the day (CNN online) -- from our most illustrious vice president, Lord Richard Cheney:

"For Amnesty International to suggest that somehow the United States is a violator of human rights, I frankly just don't take them seriously," Cheney said. The vice president also said he believes the insurgency in Iraq is "in the last throes."

One has to admire his talking skills though: Arrogance, blindness, mendacity, stupidity, hubris and brazen propaganda, all in just two sentences.
