Former (Vice) President
Dick "The Dick" Cheney is weighing in on the bitter civil war in the Rethuglican / Stupid Party, and not surprisingly the unindicted war criminal is saying that
the teabagger radicals are a "positive influence." We have to give The Dick some credit for intelligence, perverted as it is, so there's no way he believes that nonsense. A more likely explanation for his fondness for the teabaggers is that his equally perverse daughter,
Liz "Lizard" Cheney,
is running to the right of very conservative (93% rating from the American Conservative Union) Senator
Mike "Bitter" Enzi for the Rethug Senate nomination in Wyoming, which is where you'll find the nutballs that make up the teabagger movement, so it's sucking up time.
We'd say that the teabagger movement is a positive influence on politics in the same way that The Dick was a positive influence on the lives of our 4,486 military personnel killed in the Iraq war that he helped lie us into.
BONUS: The Dick also must have instructed his cardiologist
to lie about his heart condition while he was under consideration (by himself) for the Vice Presidency in 2000. Certainly he knew his history of heart attacks would have disqualified anyone else, right?
