Dick Cheney Is Using The N-Word

Former Vice President Dick Cheney showed up on Fox News on Wednesday to make a familiar case for going back to war in Iraq: Nuclear weapons are “spreading” to extremists across the globe.

Hopefully, someday, it will be used as evidence convicting Cheney of war crimes.
