Hillary Rosen has a little piece in Huffington Post about how Wyoming is no longer "Cheney Country" because four or five people she talked with while on vacation in Wyoming didn't like Cheney anymore. These kinds of "talking with the natives" pieces are always annoying and are even more annoying because I live in a place where filmmakers and reporters are always talking to the locals as if we had all just stepped out of a production of "Deliverance."
But Rosen is also mistaken if she thinks "Cheney Country" has just disappeared. It's just changed location from the physical space of the Wyoming he used to represent to the virtual space of the conservative talk shows and right-wing blogs.
Right-wing media space will be "Cheney Country" as long as there's a right-wing media.

"..I live in a place where filmmakers and reporters are always talking to the locals as if we had all just stepped out of a production of 'Deliverance'." LOL!! Can I use that?? It is so true!! I hate the way "locals" are portrayed just about anywhere by anyone. Ordinary people are always portrayed as idiots who just sort of sway with the wind.
What more can I say about Cheney. He's pure evil.

Thanks, todd, for reaffirming the depths of your hatred.
