Holy crap, this is actually true.

The Romney family finally had to pull over when the poor thing couldn’t take it anymore and started peeing, thus obscuring the view out the back window.

The original Boston Globe story actually lauds him over the tale — for pulling over (such leadership!) — once the urine started to pour down the windows, a response they term "emotion-free crisis management."

Yes, but which emotionless imbecile created the crisis to begin with, displayed no remorse in the aftermath, and is still enough of a lunatic that his own campaign considers it something to boast about to the press?

We already have one of these guys in the White House, thanks.

The pageant of Dada continues!

I guess this is what his campaign means by "True Strength for America’s Future" — the strength to clean your own dog’s urine off of your own car.

Cheney’s office is now going to have to claim executive privilege to avoid a congressional subpoena.

This right after Cheney’s office declared that, contrary to 218 years of US constitutional history, his office is not part of the executive branch.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the last six and a half years would make a lot more sense if the GOP were actually performing a sophisticated Dada art exhibition.

This Cheney character would actually be pretty tolerable if he weren’t actually real. You could just say, OK, I see what they’re doing here — this is clearly modeled on the fictional Bob Rumson from Aaron Sorkin’s The American President. Then give him two drunk driving convictions, a lesbian daughter, and a wife who writes soft-core erotica, just so everyone knows the reactionary moralizing is all just a put-on. Then give him five Vietnam deferments and a continuing income from Halliburton so absolutely no one can find him credible on defense issues.  Oh, and get his office involved in the outing of a covert CIA employee involved with monitoring the proliferation of WMDs in the mideast, and then have him claim national security as his keynote issue.

If suddenly Cheney just pulled off the rubber mask, and it was actually Mike Myers underneath, just screwing around, OK, then it would all make more sense.

But that day surely must be getting close. Apparently they’ve decided to make increasingly insane claims, some of them bordering on self-contradictory, just so maybe the country will finally catch on and say, "hey now, wait — this is all a put-on, isn’t it?"

Incidentally, the Washington Post has just done an excellent four-part series on what Rumson, er, Cheney here has been up to and how. Highly recommended.

So now Dick Cheney is back in the executive branch. Until he decides he isn’t again. He’s like Posted in Almost Seven Wonders
