Have you ever wondered what lurks inside the minds of our country’s leaders? In Stuart Kreisman’s DICK CHENEY’S DIARY one of the United States most controversial and notorious Vice Presidents in history reveals his innermost thoughts. A secretive and secluded politician is only as good as his word and when Kreisman discovered this top secret diary among a stack of eight track tapes at Scooter Libby’s recent garage sale, he decided to share his find with the public. At least that’s what Kreisman will have you believe in this political satire. An Emmy Award winning television writer, National Lampoon contributing editor and “comedic savant,” Kreisman began writing the diary for an Internet site based on the notion that Cheney would keep an unofficial “Official” record of his tenure as Vice President. In a short time the column took off and became one of the most popular features in cyberspace. Now, compiled and expounded upon, this book will have you rolling with laughter. Be careful though, Cheney is a crack shot… Excerpts from Dick Cheney’s Diary: Too bad about Larry Craig. I did feel it was a little strange that every Monday at the Republican caucus all he wanted to talk about was the previous night’s episode of Sex and the City. Go know. I made a fist, cocked my right arm, and was ready to smash GW’s nose right through his skull when out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a bust of Ronald Reagan. Suddenly I was overwhelmed by the majesty of the Oval Office and the sacred ground I was pummeling GW on. I looked down at the sniveling GW, uncocked my fist, and just pulled his ears till he cried “Uncle.”

DICK CHENY'S DIARY is a quirky SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE style satire in which Cheney, the Bush administration (and a few democrats) are portrayed as feckless frat boys bent on getting as drunk as skunks and scoring as many babes as possible. Sometimes satire is the only effective commentary in a society unwilling (or unable) to hold its leaders accountable for extreme corruption and moral atrocities. Kriesman's book also fills a major void left by the mainstream media in their failure to explore the personal motivation of a group of men who used their eight years in office to (let's face it) rob the US Treasury for the benefit of their friends and themselves and in doing so virtually destroyed the US economy. When the media makes no attempt to analyze what these events, the public can only draw the conclusion they are motivated solely by ruthlessness and greed - which is clearly the explanation Kreisman favors.
During the whole eight years Bush was in office, I never once saw any mainstream commentary on the relationship between Cheney - who was obviously running the country - and Bush - who was obviously a nincompoop and not allowed to make any decisions. Kreisman plugs this gap in the historical record with a few scenes straight out of FIGHT CLUB. Likewise the mainstream media never once questioned how someone who was repeatedly having heart attacks could possibly run the most powerful country in the world. Kreisman explains this quite nicely, though Cheney's doctor has to be summoned whenever the pacemaker interferes with TV reception.... Read more ›
