Yesterday’s New York Observer contained a great one-two punch straight to the heart of the secretive, self-appointed and stolen, shadow presidency of Dick Cheney.
As we learn more and more about his secret goal of expanding U.S. Military operations in the Middle East, including the possibility of nuclear war in Iran, it is becoming pretty clear that Dick Cheney has become a real-life version of some of the great fictional supervillains. His image now seems to belong right alongside of such notables as Lex Luthor, The Penguin, and Ernst Stavro Blofeld (pictured above).
With new evidence that the devious Cheney may be certifiably insane, as suggested by recent news accounts that went something like this:
Speaking on a condition of anonymity, a “senior administration official” said, of Dick Cheney’s recent trip to Afghanistan and Pakistan, “I’m the Vice President, and you’re not!”Frankly, I’m surprised he didn’t try to further conceal his identity by adding: "So go f**k yourself, before I shoot you in the face!"
Cheney’s underhanded and megalomaniacal schemes have brought the country, and the World, to the brink of self-destruction, and something dramatic may have to be done to stop him.
Unfortunately, it seems all we can hope for now is that some mild-mannered congressman (or woman) is secretly able to transform into a superhero in time to stop Dick Cheney from carrying out his dastardly and fiendish plans!
Somebody? Anybody? So far, all I’m seein’ are birds and planes up there!
Cheney reminds me more of Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious(sp?) from the Star Wars series. There certainly is a physical resemblance, and similarities in the personalities (you know; the embodiment of pure evil). Of course, the metaphor breaks down in the details; Bush certainly doesn't remind me of Darth Vader, and I don't remember the Emperor shooting any of his friends in the face...
