Dick Cheney is a bully. Bullies are cowards who fear, above all, embarrassment and ridicule. On a bird shoot last weekend, Dick met his worst enemy, and it was himself.
Dick made a career of talking tough but dodging the bullets. He could coordinate a campaign impugning John Kerry's Purple Hearts, earned in Vietnam. Dick got multiple deferments from that war -- which he supported from a safe distance -- and went on bluffing and bullying his way to become the Secretary of Defense. John Kerry has been at both ends of a gun, but for him, the wrong end was held by a mortal enemy, not a "blind" buddy. Dick never met the real enemy, so he has built a career by making enemies of his fellow Americans who happen to disagree with his big business cronyism.
Dick, what ethical concerns and simple decency could not do, your own blind bullying has accomplished. Don't hold you breath for another invitation to go shoot some birds.
