Poor Dick Cheney--he needs empathy

I was listening to the radio in my car today, and someone from the White House press corps--I didn't catch who--said he found it kind of sad that no one in the press was showing any empathy toward Dick Cheney.

I tried not to run my car off the road. For the last six years, the White House press corps has given Cheney a much greater gift than their empathy: They have ignored his warmongering, his relationship to big oil, and his whopping lies.

But if you want to talk about empathy, where is Cheney's empathy for his own daughter? Where is his empathy toward the soldiers who are getting maimed and killed for nothing? Where is his empathy toward the elderly who cannot fill their prescriptions? Where is his empathy toward the people on the Gulf Coast who have no jobs and nowhere to live?

Poor Dick Cheney--it's breaking my heart.
