The Cheneys

Today Dick Cheney met with his followers to denounce the nuclear agreement with Iran. "This is a man who's lost his mind," one Republican military analyst said afterwards. Yet he still has an audience. He's more paranoid than Richard Nixon. He's more paranoid than Oliver Stone on a crack pipe. Still, Cheney has a following of nutters. The number of these nutters grows smaller day by day, but some are rich and powerful. It seems safe to say, though, that this crackpot's night has begun to fall. His daughter Liz, his main disciple, remains faithful to his lunacy.

I'm not sure what's true about the political leader of Israel, who came here and got involved with our American politics on the losing side of the Iran agreement.  The tail set out to wag the dog. He wore out his welcome. Israelis need new voices to speak for their nation.
