not a gentleman's "C"

If this statement doesnt explain our current governmental situation, I dont know what does
"Remember success for a politician is fifty percent plus one, you dont have to have everybody on board."

-- Dick Cheney talking to Larry King
I'm sorry, Dick, but you're an idiot. Or an asshole. Or both (yes, definitely both). You're not talking about statesmanship, you're talking about gamesmanship, and it's the gamesmanship of a bad sport, to boot. Wouldnt it be nice to have a government made up of grown-ups, rather than spoiled children?
I did enjoy Jon Stewart's reply, though:
"Oh my god! The White House is taking America pass/fail!"
It's pithy, mocking, and yet handily points out the immaturity of our leaders. Boffo!
