    If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you’d argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.

    Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.

      But on matters of foreign policy he’s irredeemable and you should think twice about ever agreeing with him about fucking anything. Ever.
