-------

Q: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting, and they're looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: So?

Q: So -- you don't care what the American people think?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.

--------

So? Damn the torpedoes? Full speed ahead?

And to think that this cretin is a heartbeat away from becoming President of the United States.

Of course, it's only a true indication of the Straussian mindset that "father knows best" when it comes to governance.

The following day, Dana Perino, Dubya's press secretary. answered questions about Cheney's comments.

--------

Q: "So is the vice president saying it really doesn’t matter what the American public thinks about the war?"

PERINO "No, I don’t think that’s what he’s saying."

-------

So exactly what is Pernio saying?

-------

Q: The American people are being asked to die and pay for this. And you’re saying they have no say in this war?

PERINO: No, I didn’t say that Helen. But Helen, this president was elected…

Q: But it amounts to it. You’re saying we have no input at all.

PERINO: You had input. The American people have input every four years, and that’s the way our system is set up.

Unfortunately, she is right when it comes to the President and Vice-President. Stupidity is not an impeachable offense.
