I've had it. There's only one way to deal with slime like Dick - scorn. Make him laughable and irrelevant. Here's what every sensible human being should do when Cheney's name is mentioned. (Note: normally I abhor ad hominem argument, but in this case ad hominem is not a fallacy, but an accurate portrayal.) Now I realize that "sensible human being" precludes the right-wing hate mongers, i.e., Fox and friends. But everyone else - liberal, moderate, conservative, etc. - should do one or more of the following:

1. NEVER EVER - NEVER!!! - REFER TO THE S.O.B. AS "VICE-PRESIDENT". DON'T SULLY THE OFFICE THAT HE USURPED. He's either Mr. Cheney, said with derision, or "Dick" - see Jon Stewart for how to pronounce that.

2. Dick Cheney? You mean the guy who shot his friend in the face? You want to trust his judgment?

3. Oh, you mean Dick Cheney, the draft-dodging coward who had better things to do than serve his county. Yeah, he's an expert on security.

4. Dick Cheney? Wasn't he in office on 9/11? Didn't he ignore all the warnings about Al Qaeda? You want to listen to the guy who let Bin Laden attack us, and then get away?

5. Oh, I remember Dick Cheney. He's the one who couldn't be bothered to help New Orleans. Too many poor, too many Blacks. Oh, wait. He did get Haliburton another sweetheart deal - after the city drowned and people died.

Use one or more lines, with derision, scorn or disgust. Always mention at least one of these points and let's make sure everyone sees him for the evil scum he is.
