Former Vice President Dick "The Faceblaster" Cheney's closest literary antecedent is none other that Comrade Napoleon, Orwell's power hungry pig from that deathless modern fable, "Animal Farm".
Whenever Dick speaks these days it is in a charming neanderthal grunt that asserts "We iz strong, da strong should rule...we must become more strong...bullies are brave cuz they are strong..." yaddah yaddah yaddah.
Hence his recent tie-up with Rush Limbaugh,I mean he'd never chose a beaten man like Colin Powell would he? Doesn't make sense from the neolithic bone-cave perspective of the Former VP.
Rush at least is the sort of fat sickly leviathan that pre-hominids like Dick Cheney regard as a Titan made flesh.
James Carville speaks of forty years of democratic dominance in Washington DC, this strikes me as a fantasy...but it could happen all we'd need is for Cheney to remain healthy and talkative and for Michael Steele to recruit the candidates...the rest of it will be akin to watching Bonnie Prince Charlie's Highlanders gettung cut down by the Redcoats at Culloden.
