If someone had told me a mere three years ago that Dick Cheney wasn’t the worst and most destructive politician (or indeed person) in America I would have laughed in derision. Ah, good times, good times…

Well, the comments on that link have already decided on the narrative.

‘Why does he have to mock a disabled veteran?’ - as said by people who have not watched it, of course. Ensuing outrage can help ensure that they don’t have to notice their leaders/heroes are shown to be morons.
