Behold … in the Prairies, as Sinatra Croons, a Dick is Born

Never trash a dude until you know a little something about where he comes from. With that said, watch a great American’s life unfold in storybook form and to the tune of “Young at Heart.”

The video is for Young Dick Cheney, which Mel Brooks called “A funny book!” and Arianna Huffington said “Delivers a double-barreled blast of satiric buckshot.” That’s a lot of five-dollar words, thar.

This isn’t the first time a Cheney’s been thrashed in child-friendly format. In ’04, his gay daughter Mary was targeted in a la Dick and Jane.

Nothing is sacred to the political machine. If somebody warps the Curious George omnibus to serve their sick machinations, I’m moving to Roald Dahl country.
