I know, I know, it’s Wednesday, but because I was off Monday, I totally forgot to post a Tuesday Reading Assignment.

Better late than never, I give you your Tuesday Reading Assignment - Wednesday.

You must read Man Without Qualities wonderful takedown of a very snarky New York Times editorial basically saying that Dick Chaney is an Imperial President, the man with the real power. Sick stuff but Robert takes them to task.

Many at the helm and keyboards of the New York Times have long teetered on the very edge of full blown paranoia, but yesterday’s Times editorial “Mr. Cheney’s Imperial Presidency”, which says the vice president is literally attempting to make the United States into a dictatorship (among many other nefarious purposes) is a headlong plunge into the abyss:
—
On the whole, the tenor of the editorial might make one wonder why the Times doesn’t just come right out and assert that Mr. Cheney is the Great Satan, roaming the world, seeking the ruin of souls. The image presented by the Times of Mr. Cheney’s power is as distorted and false as the image it presents of Mr. Cheney’s character and probable motivations. The vice presidency is an office that carries almost no active executive power. Mr. Cheney acts only at the behest of the president. But the Times cannot admit that relationship because the paper is wed to the preposterous, condescending image shared by many liberals of Mr. Bush as a dimwit princeling controlled by evil geniuses, including Mr. Cheney. The Times even goes so far as to accuse Mr. Cheney of appointing himself as the president’s running mate - an assertion completely and disgracefully contemptuous of the president.

It gets better. Go check it out.

To see how Dick Chaney REALLY is….go check out Ace of Spades parody post…heh
