Dick Cheney was among the worst in an administration that disrespected human rights, international law, honesty, trustworthiness and set the US reputation as well as the fight against global warming way back.

Usually, that probably would have been my last thought of him.

Except, we have this crazy timeline. This timeline, in which he was able to stand out just by pointing out that he is still in favour of free elections. At least that was still a given in his time, even though the decision about the loss of Al Gore was considered controversial by some back then.

A low bar, a low bar indeed. But here we go, on this positive note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Nq9SpGzic

Dick Cheney and George Bush the guy who said "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame m--, you can't get fooled again".

I thought was the lowest point for America. But Trump made George Bush seem like a rocket scientist, and yearn for the good ol days.

I remember when I earnestly believed it would possible to have a country with an elected leader that was dumber than George bush.

Didn't he shoot a guy in the face once too? That was a fun time

Not only did he shoot somebody in the face, he probably never apologized.

In a 2010 interview with The Washington Post, when asked if Cheney had apologized, Whittington declined to answer.[6]
