I don’t usually blog about the hideous farce that is American politics, but this is too good to pass up:

When Cheney was told during the ABC News interview that public opinion polls show an overwhelming opposition to the war in Iraq, Cheney’s response was: “So?”

And when the interviewer pressed him asking, “So — you don’t care what the American people think?” he responded, “No,” and explained, “I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.”

Americans also roundly reject the position put forward by White House spokeswoman Dana Perino in an effort to explain Cheney’s comments. Asked whether the public should have “input,” she replied, “You had your input. The American people have input every four years, and that’s the way our system is set up.”

I guess those right-wingers really mean it when they say, “The US is a republic, not a democracy.”
