My personal opinion is that the artist (whomever they were) were not trying to divorce their own interpretation from the work. You're right in saying that once an artwork is created, we are free to interpret it any way we want and that the artist/auteur's intended interpretation becomes one of many...

you're making a series of jumps in what you're reading from Cheney and then assuming anyone who doesn't make those same jumps is either lying or stupid. No, no.

Well, to be fair the latter is more likely with some fierce conservative haters, but a lot of his bloatware programs aren't as obviously bad or bothersome to people as a multi trillion dollar war and dead bodies of innocent or soldiers.
