"SNIP.............


On Tuesday, Former Vice President Dick Cheney released a new book, Exceptional, which he co-wrote with his daughter Liz. The book is ostensibly about how great America is but spends a lot of time criticizing the current state of the country, particularly the policies of President Obama.

Although he is not one of the 17 candidates running, the book essentially lays out the worldview and agenda of a Cheney presidency. (Many former Bush administration officials who collaborated with Cheney are advising the actual candidates.) It is an America that is almost comically hawkish, macho and self-adulating.

Here are 9 of the book’s most ridiculous parts:

The part where he says that America’s school children need to be taught about the unambiguous morality of dropping a nuclear bomb on a heavily populated city

1. I'm curious to see the part about torture

Cheney continues to maintain it's OK to torture prisoners of war, as long as we deny they're prisoners of war, and call them illegal combatants. I'm also curious to see what he has to say about our "intelligence" agencies sending people to secret foreign locations where they are tortured to death. And then there's the issue of lying about WMD to start the Iraq war.

2. He was already president for 8 years--the worst president ever, in fact.

Maybe he hopes to find another puppet who will let him be president again.

3. Just go back to your cave in hell, DicKKK

4. It's worth noting that even W stopped listening to this guy by the end of the presidency

Even W figured out he was an unhinged idiot.
