My friend Lynda brought it to my attention that we finally have someone to replace Reagan when we want to blame one human for everything devious in our government: Dick Cheney. Perhaps it’s the name. The last Dick we had in that high an office was rather rancid himself. Anyway, try it out for yourself.
The ugly mess in Venezuela connected intimately with United States oil interests? Dick did it.
The frightening thought that we might invade Iraq this summer? Dick’s all over that.
And, of course, the strange similarity of the rise of The Rock to entertainment super-stardom to the rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Lou Ferrigno? Nothing but Dick.
