Cheney toxicity

Liz Cheney's latest provocation puts her beyond the twilight zone with her bizarre protestation that lawyers who serve as attorneys for al-Qaida defendants should be considered traitors themselves.

Not only like father/like daughter -- in psychiatric parlance we call this Folie a Deux (shared craziness, as it were). This dynamic duo share a joint delusional system that perceives and distorts the universe in mutual paranoia.

The irony, of course, is that only in such a democracy as this would the noise of two such monstrous personae be tolerated.

Even the major conservative voices on the right (including many Bush administration Justice Department personnel) have expressed strong objection to the absurdity Ms. Cheney has expressed.

I do hope everybody is listening carefully and tuning in to the pathology these Cheneys project. Remember them, America, when you go to the polls to choose your candidates for our government. The Cheney mentality is a very present danger, and we must be vigilant to ensure that it does not pervert our system as they spew toxic waste all over our media.
