Seriously, Dick Cheney. Crawl back into the hole from whence you came! You had your shot at the presidency vice-presidency, and you spent your eight years behind the scenes, dancing and pulling on little Georgie's limbs like a marionette, all the while deviously smirking in silence to the public. And what? All of a sudden, you can't gracefully fade into the sunset of retirement, where you can shoot your friends to your heart's delight and ruminate silently on what a diabolical genius you are?

What gives with this guy? Why have I seen him more in the past two months than I saw him in the last eight years? Why does he think we care about his defense that well, yes, torture is illegal, but it worked didn't it? I'm certain history's favorable backward glance at "truthful" confessions obtained by really successful ventures such as the Inquisition bode well for your legacy and all, but maybe you can just keep your legacy-defense to yourself? Methinks this smacks a lot more of a criminal defense strategy. I'm sure Dick's just one more in a long line of Bush miscreants sweating under the collar a little these days with the release of Bush era torture documents from the Vault of Secrecy that shrouded everything that administration did.

Interesting article on Dick's reappearance here.
