Today, as the most powerful Vice President in American history, Cheney has honed his arrogance and moved into his own world of invincible power, a vacuum where he feels unfettered by the rule of law and untouchable by any of the three branches of government.
He is, he believes, a power unto himself, a second-in-command who answers to no one, not even his theoretical boss - the President of the United States.
And, for the moment, he is what he believes he is - answerable to no one but himself. Until someone finds a way to stop him, he can, and will, do whatever he wants for the remaining time that George W. Bush has in office.
Someone should stop Dick Cheney but the sad truth is no one will. He exists in a netherworld of Constitutional ambiguity, defined only by his enormous ego and insufferable arrogance.
He is a creation of everything that is wrong with the American political system. He is also a master of the system that he has managed to subvert and turn into his own, untouchable, fiefdom. He is the self professed evil mastermind who only lurks in the shadows of the oval office, employing, in his own words "the dark side" with which to project US Hegemonic Imperialistic Domination and unchallenged Global Supremecy, according to nothing but his own personal force of will, a menacing sneer, and a look to kill. Dick Cheney, quantum singularity of evil.
