I think it is very cheap to make fun of Dick Cheney’s appearance or his health. The man has suffered five heart attacks. It is a miracle that he is still alive, let alone able to give a speech or write his memoirs.

Whether or not you agree with his post-9/11 decisions is irrelevant. He is still someone’s father, someone’s husband, and someone’s friend.

And just to shoot down the magical balance fairy, I hate it when right wingers poke fun at Obama’s smoking habit and his graying hair.
