Our series on Vice continues, and while there's no Shakespeare this time, Dick Cheney does climb into a box and pretend to be a cat. David Addington reveals himself to be the worst lawyer in the world while thinking himself the smartest, and he's only superseded in pseudo-legal idiocy by John Yoo, a straight up maniac. We talk a bit about how language can be used to change the political weather, with the help of Frank Luntz, a marketing guru who looks exactly like a man named Frank Luntz ought to look. George W. Bush willingly reduces himself to a cipher as the brilliant, beautiful madcap but ultimately unconvincing Adam McKay narrative escapades continue. Huzzah!
