Those of us who have been around the block a few times remember a condition -- perhaps a psychological illness -- known as "Bunker Mentality." It is characterized by fear and the attitude that one is constantly under attack and therefore must hide from the real world. Obviously, Mr. Cheney suffers from this disorder.
And why are we surprised that he has Bunker Mentality Disorder? Consider what happened that September day in 2001 when our country was attacked by terrorists. Dick Cheney disappeared and hid in an underground bunker. For two years or more after, he frequently disappeared and was said to be in"undisclosed locations." Most victims of BMD go into hiding figuratively, but in more serious cases, such as Mr. Cheney's, the victims literally go to "undisclosed locations."
We should not be too surprised at Mr. Cheney's present condition. Who knows what the rest of us would be like if we spent that much time in an underground bunker?
