This is not going to go away, nor should it. The disgrace this arrogant son-of-a-bitch has brought upon our country will take a long time to live down, and it is high time he paid for it, in spades. Mr. Cheney, What About This 'Executive Assassination Squad'?
by John Nichols
Dick Cheney is not going to fade away.
George Bush may have retreated to Texas to clear brush and ponder how things went so horribly wrong. But Cheney, who failed out of the university from which Bush graduated, has never been so reflective as the former president.
Bush may actually be embarrassed, or scared, about the mess that was made of international affairs, the economy and our system of constitutional governance during his eight years in the White House.
Cheney isn't.
There will be no apologies from the former vice president.
And there will be no withdrawal from the political frontlines by the man who spun out of the Nixon White House to become Gerald Ford's chief of staff, parlayed that role into a seat in Congress where he served as Ronald Reagan's House floor leader, exploited personal and political ties to position himself as George H.W. Bush's secretary of defense and then effectively nominated himself to be George W. Bush's vice president.
Cheney, whose ambition has always exceeded his knowledge and skill, is determined to defend the political misdeeds, policy machinations and power grabs that -- thanks to George W. Bush's ignorance about the most basic workings of the White House -- briefly made him the most powerful man in the world.

Maybe George is regretting his greatest mistake. Which is who he chose to do the vetting for his VP in 2000. Effectively bypassing any reasonable scrutiny and allowing an angry chicken-hawk to be VP on the ticket.
