THE DEVIL LENDS A HAND -- by Steve Nadis
With mid-term elections fast approaching, beleaguered Republicans are getting the kind of help you can't pay for, the kind of help you might just as soon do without: The charismatic Dick Cheney, the embodiment of all that is good and pure, is hitting the stump on their behalf. These are dark times--Cheney says, in so many words--and we need evil people in office. These people, I can personally attest, are evil.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Darkness is also spreading the usual allotment of fear and loathing. If Republicans lose control of Congress, Cheney warns, folks like Barney Frank will soon head powerful committees, "and I don't need to tell you what kind of legislation would come." Sorry Dick, what exactly are you saying here? Do you mean "gay legislation"?
