Cheney may be the biggest badass in our generation of public officials. No one can get him off message. He is right and he knows he is right.
I like Dick. (This is not something a perfect lady gets to say in public very often.)
“Cheney as the face of our party is nothing short of a disaster—a grumpy old man with a gun.”
Grumpy old men with guns apparently strike a chord of fear in the ranks of the girly-men.
Oh, and:
And yet he remains one of the most visible, attacking the new president on waterboarding (Cheney's for it); the camp at Guant‡namo (he's for keeping it open); and the sanctioning of lawyers who wrote memos enabling the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" (he's for thanking, not prosecuting them).
Except that now O has discovered that Bush's policies were not only right, but without any viable alternatives.
Rush repeated “Cheney gets results” a bunch, making my day.
Cheney is just getting it done, the leftists see the narrative completely arcing out of their control, and are desperate to change the subject.
Cheney’s relentless seriousness is a stark contrast to the current regime. Are there any adults in the room, is the question.
A nice counter to this, a piece by Bill Kristol in the weekly standard.
