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

    I remember when I earnestly believed it would impossible 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

    Yep, but here's the kicker. He got the guy he shot to apologize to him!

    tbf, getting shot in the face IS one of the better interactions you can have with Dick Cheney.

    I mean, which one would you pick?

    • waterboarded at home
    • sent to allied torture prison abroad
    • accidentally groped during family Christmas photo
    • he jumps awkwardly onto your presidential campaign train last minute and you lose it
    • shot in the face
