Cheney had terribly wrong and destructive notions about how to conduct foreign policy. Now we have all that and more, plus weapons-grade stupidity and incompetence. I never thought I'd see an administration worse than that of Bush II but here we are.

My mom taught me not to speak ill of the dead, at least until they are planted. I will say hes dead. Good.
