Dick Cheney has apologized for an inbreeding joke about West Virginia. That's wonderful. The problem is, how about all the things Cheney has NOT apologized for? Like...
*Politicizing science
*Running his super-secret, "Kenny Boy" and ExxonMobil-dominated energy task force
*Iraq, including the case for war citing an alleged relationship between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, etc.
*Abu Ghraib
*Extraordinary rendition, secret prisons in Eastern Europe
*Waterboarding and other torture
*Gitmo
*Enormous budget deficits
*Continued addiction on Saudi oil
*Outing covert CIA agent Valerie Plame
*War profiteering and sleazy no-bid contracts, including his former company Halliburton
*Shooting a friend of his and then trying to cover it up
*Claiming he "does not have to comply with an executive order on safeguarding classified information because his office is part of the Legislature."
*Gross negligence leading up to Hurricane Katrina and also in its aftermath
*Snidely dismissing energy conservation as "a sign of personal virtue"
*Authoring unconstitutional and outrageous "signing statements" which "declare the president's intent to disregard provisions of bills he has signed into law that he proclaims are unconstitutional."
*Engineering "the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic surveillance program targeting American citizens on American soil in contravention of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978."
This could go on and on, but needless to say, Dick Cheney owes the American people a lot of apologies. Unfortunately, while he's said "sorry" for making a joke about inbreeding, he still has a long, long way to go on all the items listed above (and many more).
