In an interview with Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal, former Vice President Dick Cheney speaks on the trials and tribulations of the Bush Administration. Among his targets (no pun intended) are former Secretary of State Colin Powell and his deputy Richard Armitage (the same man who outed Valarie Plame as an under cover CIA agent), the Condolezza Rice-backed decision by President Bush to take North Korea off the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, and, of course, President Obama.
With the exception of Richard Nixon and President Bush himself, never has a man been so vilified as Dick Cheney. Anytime the media did not compare him to Darth Vader, or even Satan himself, was a rare occurrence.
He served the country honorably and with distinction during his eight years in office. For that we should all be thankful.
I have a lot of respect for Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney never wanted to be President but he served as a great second to George W. Bush. I think he was one of the best Vice Presidents although he was mistreated by the liberal media. The liberal media ridiculed (and still does) his heart attacks and the accidental shooting of his friend while hunting. In comparison to Joe Biden, Joe doesn't even deserve to clean Dick Cheney's shoes.
