Opinion Line Extra (Dec. 17)

See who fights hardest for the torture program: Dick Cheney, who has no mercy and clearly designed the program. He’s also fighting to not be prosecuted for war crimes, except you don’t prosecute the winners. Methinks he doth protest too much.

Dick Cheney already got a new heart. Now all he needs is a human soul.

When the Bush administration fabricated the story of weapons of mass destruction, the public should have known there was no respect for the rule of law.

I wonder if Jimmy Carter ever imagined living long enough to lose the title of America’s worst president? Thanks go to Barack Hussein Obama.

Somehow there is a lack of believability when you see NFL players protesting against violence. I guess it must be due to their frequent interaction with the police.

Help, I’ve fallen and can’t get up. Send me $19 a month.
