“largely unpopular former vice president”
I believe that Cheney’s popularity rating was better than congresse’s when he left office. Such a statement makes the whole article suspect of bias. No surprise.
“honored protocol by staying silent about his successor.”
Unlike Carter and Clinton.
Today’s US press is more of a propaganda machine than Pravda was during the 1960s.

Dick Cheney has every right to speak up! Somebody has to, no other Republican is doing it!!! What is he supposed to do? Sit back and watch Obama destroy this country and be polite by not saying anything to contradict The One?
The man who the MSM themselves imbued with gravitas has jumped the ‘drive by’ shark in their feeble minds....
Keep ‘em on the ropes Dick. No quarter. All hail the Sith lord of conservatism.
Has this partisan reporter weighed in on Jimmy Cartah?
‘We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. ... Today, we celebrate our Independence Day.’
Big Time was always popular with me. It is not as if the “attack dog” function is exactly new to this VP. I seem to recall Algore being absolutely apocalyptic in his denunciations of President George W. Bush.
President Bush is showing admirable restraint, as befits his position. Dick Cheney is taking the fight to the Democrats, as befits his position. I would like to think he is positioning himself for a run in 2012, but I don’t want to get my hopes up.
To me, the bottomline is VP Cheney was speaking with sincerety and he was right in what he said, Obamao’s actions are making the US more vulnerable to Islamacist Terrorists at home and abroad.
The Dems cannot stand it when people tell the truth about what they are doing.
To watch with what evil these people operate is astounding to behold. None of them fear consequences for their behavior, and I suppose it’s only right they tend to be atheists or think the next life will honor people as corrupt and vicious as them. But this is nothing but the same old, same old and they keep grasping onto anything to avoid criticism and focus on 0bama. And it’s nothing but a continuation of the demonization of Cheney! But they do have something to fear as Cheney’s words will hit home so obviously they would like him to ‘shut up’. Cheney is a hero for this.
Cheney is a patriot, and his sole interest is to protect this nation from the inexperienced and reckless Kenyan.
Palin/Cheney 2012 with a strong conservative as speaker.
