I had never heard of this bill. But damn, it’s a real thing, and damn, they snuck that shit through with a bullshit-generator-named bill.

Somebody has to provide the montage, since Jon Stewart retired.

He’s certainly a rank person.

I believe that Cheney is a big fat liar too, but that’s difficult to objectively prove. Perhaps he really did somehow delude himself into believing his own bullshit. But that’s beside the point anyway.
What we can objectively prove is that he was 100% wrong about almost every claim he made about Iraq and Iran. Regardless of what he believed then or believes now, he’s proven himself an unreliable source of advice (or more accurately, a reliable source of BAD advice) so many times over that no rational person would give serious consideration to his opinion when crafting Middle East policy.

As I’ve poined here before, two tabs of good acid and a long, hard word with themselves in a bathroom mirror should be mandatory for all those in political office, but yes. Datura. That would fucking learn them, alright.

I’m not much enamoured of rank as a general thing, I’d rather respect people on their merits, not an authoritarian abstraction.

Well, actually. Somebody has fact checked all the major politicians/commentators and arranged them according to how full of shit they are:

Of course “being full of shit” isn’t necessarily the same as lying. There is a whole breed of self-enamored politician who eagerly swallow their own shit like a cross between an ouroboros and the Human Centipede.

Agreed, there is no good analysis of self delusion, being misinformed or just talking out of ignorance. We can only analyze how often they are saying factually incorrect things.
I must admit, I was a bit surprised to see Rachel Maddow worse off than Cheney.

Indeed. According to On Bullshit, bullshit may or may not involve lying. In fact, truth has nothing to do with bullshit, either way.

When he holds the rank, yes, to an extent. But because you respect the rank, you take even stronger action against the person who brings disgrace to the rank…

I don’t think so. If I ever meet the pope, I’ll call him what he actually is: “chief liar”, and if he doesn’t like that, then I’ll move on to “chief protector of child rapists”, and on down the line, until I get to “chief silly hat wearer”.
Neither the office, nor the person is worthy of respect unless you believe the bullshit. And even then, you still ought not to respect him, since, you know, he is the world’s most powerful champion of child rapists.

Obama played nice (too nice if you ask me and lots of other libtards) with the right for many years… but now he’s a ‘lame duck’ and he seems to more down with some non-pc yet honest maneuvering (which could come off like trolling if it weren’t based in fact) now that he’s soon gonna be out the door.
