Reply #1: Cheney absolutely refuses to give an inch even though he knows that

[acmavm]

the facade has crumbled and fallen into dust. He refuses to believe that the 'average American' is smart enough to catch on to his line of crap. Even worse, he doesn't care. After all, people like him are entitled to commit a crime here, a fraud there, a little war someplace else as long as people like him benefit. After all, that's what the peons are for, cheap labor and paying taxes so we can give his precious Halliburton billions of dollars that they did not earn.

I don't think that bush* is the only crazy one in this administration. They all seem to have more that a few loose screws.
