were long aware Dick Cheney was the one, not our dictator, who was running the country, hence my referring to him as the "president." As I saw someplace, Cheney believes the vice president is more or less like a prime minister, while the president has more of a ceremonial role. In any case, that is how it has played out.
Cheney is a political extremist, close to being an outright fascist, so it is not surprising his extremism has profoundly affected and infected political discourse. He is not about to let go of his role, either. It makes one with more paranoid thinking whether elections will be canceled, or, if not, we have yet another Republican puppet with Cheney STILL calling the shots in the background.
