Dickhead of the Week - Dick Cheney

First of all, I'd like to thank those who offered up nominees for DotW last week. We had three -- four, actually -- quality choices. And Dickheads all. Especially the Taylor Law. If a law can be a Dickhead, Taylor is it. Please don't confuse the Taylor Law, however, with Taylor Hicks, the gray-haired fella who's made it to the final four in American Idol.

We're back to predictability in our Dickhead choices, but that Dick(head) Cheney really triggers something explosive in me.

With a straight face -- indeed, with a scowl -- Dick(head) had the audacity to lecture Vladimir Putin about his leadership.

Included among his criticisms are these juicy nuggets:

"...from religion and the news media to advocacy groups and political parties, the [Russian] government has unfairly and improperly restricted the rights of the people."

"No legitimate interest is served when oil and gas become tools of intimidation or blackmail, either by supply manipulation or attempts to monopolize transportation."

Replied Putin, "I know you are but what am I?"
