Nice try, Dick

Your mumbled, half-assed support of gay marriage, Mr. Cheney? Not a chance
By Mark Morford

Sorry, Dick. You can't have it. You can't have even a moment of credit, a glimpse of sympathy, any sort of merciful forgiveness just because you sort of, kind of half-assedly came out in support of gay marriage, again, even though you actually didn't.

Here's what you do get: a sidelong look of momentary disbelief, a quick glance in your direction as you sit in your puddle of sour irrelevance on the sidelines of modern culture, as the rest of the thoughtful, open-hearted human race leaves you in the embittered dust. Hey, you made your bed of nails, Dick. You get to impale yourself on it.

What, is that too harsh? Too mean-spirited? Should I be more accepting and tolerant and kind because you supposedly revealed in your recent chat with the National Press Club that you might have an actual glimmer of an extant human heart, even though everyone knows you absolutely don't?

4. It's All PR...And A Poor Job At It...

In 2004 crashcart used his daughter, who willingly went along, to patronize away her being a lesbian. It was as if shit happened...and since he couldn't deny it, he tried to use it as a weapon. Any support he claims has always be disengenuous and always used in a defensive manner. The only thing he champions is bloodlust and greed.
