Mike Lupica's piece on the lame duck VP was right on the money. Never has there been anyone that close to the presidency that shouldn't have been. His influence was bloated past what that of the second-in-line should have. His machinations were evil and his defense of the policies of the last eight years are egotistical, arrogant and really "out there."
It really boggles the mind that this person still thinks that his and Bush's policies were right. I can only breathe a sigh of relief that he is on the way out. I think he knew better than to pursue the presidency in the last election. The GOP would have been defeated in greater numbers than they were. Having Cheney in the oval office would have been like having the coyote preside over the rabbit hutch.
I am thrilled that we are seeing the last of this manipulative, self-seeking, arrogant politician. He will never, as Bush will never, have the title of "Statesman." Neither of them has the integrity or the true best interests of the country at heart. Like most far-right wingers, they mouthed platitudes and religious rhetoric, but they looked out for themselves and their cronies and the masses, ie., the rest of us, could go hang. Self-righteous in their assumed "moral" stances, they sinned just as greatly, if not more so, than their predecessor. Hey, it's OK to lie in order to profit from the deaths of thousands in a war, but sexual peccadilloes are impeachable offenses? Someone explain that one to me.
We are well rid of the outgoing administration. Dubya is dumb but arrogant. Cheney, God/dess help us, is cagey, scheming and arrogant. I wonder how we lived through it and how we are going to live through their "legacy?" They are like the bad guests. The intruded, outstayed their welcome, expected to be treated like royalty and left the place a mess.
We have a lot of cleaning up to do.
