Runts

PAUL KRUGMAN: A year ago, Dick Cheney, who repeatedly cited discredited evidence linking Saddam to 9/11, and promised that invading Americans would be welcomed as liberators —although he hadn't yet declared that the Iraq insurgency was in its ‘last throes’ — was widely admired for his ‘gravitas.’

Which give you some idea of the childish side of Washington, the impressionable, the nitwit.

Which just may play some little part in the mess we're in now.

Gravitas, my butt. Aspergers, probably; ruthless, driven, certainly.

Besides, the word is so pretentious, who can give serious attention to anything other than the desperate insecurity, tremendous falseness and deep-down shallowness of people who traffic in horseshit like this. Our leaders. Doesn't that make you feel real secure. Sorry to say, those who look up to someone like Dick Cheney must be standing in one hell of a hole.
