"I have the high ground, don't try it..."

Howard Fineman of Newsweek recently ratified the conventional media wisdom on the vice president. "Dick Cheney isn't running for anything, which, of course, gives Dick Cheney a lot of scary freedom in people's eyes."
What is it with the press and Cheney? Why do they insist he sit in his Naval Observatory quarters and obsess about his low approval rating rather than execute his responsibilities? Why do they feel a vice president serves at the pleasure of the media, and not at the pleasure of the president?
There is a lot of scary freedom going on, of a different sort.
Author Stephen Hayes has a new book out simply called "Cheney." The veep gave him 30 hours of interviews. One theme that emerges is that Cheney's opinion of the press corps has deteriorated just as much as their opinion of him. They clearly think Cheney doesn't operate by professional norms. But as the book documents, it is the professional norms of journalism that are often tossed overboard by reporters out to get him.

Howard Fineman is a whining girly-man little punk. He’s scared of a normal American man like Cheney.
They haven’t noticed that Bush is noit running for anything either or that he and Cheney are pretty likeminded. Bush is still tied to the USS Bush 41 but Cheney seems to have cut those ties.
If it were President Dick Cheney finishing up his second term, I firmly believe that America would have already won the war on terror, and the only thing left of al Qaeda would be a skidmark in the panties of Islam.
George W. Bush could have gone down in history as one of the great Vice Presidents in a Cheney Administration, but fate apparently had other ideas.
Damn fate.
I concur with those sentiments.
Double concur.
OF course, they wont realize it. To them, he will forever be Darth Cheney, eeevil conservative Sith Lord of the Halliburton Empire.
muuaaaaahhahhahahhahahaha!
