bad genes. really bad genes

wow. this oped (more op than ed) in the washington post by liz cheney goes a long way towards proving the adage of “garbage in, garbage out.”

a few words for liz: the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, now does it? perhaps you shouldn’t be so worried about what daddy thinks; you’re an adult now and ostensibly capable of thinking on your own. some advice: at the next holiday gathering, decline the offer of kool-aid.

if your daddy hadn’t avoided vietnam like the plague (five deferments and “other priorities” – how courageous he was!), he might have learned a lesson or two about war. as it stands, he’s just another armchair chickenhawk, willing to spend american lives like nickels in an airport casino.

america can only hope that the six cheney grandchildren either stay far far away from public office, or that they manage to confound genetics and grow both hearts and brains.

what a horrific family.
