Now that it's Cheneys, Cheneys, everywhere—daughter Liz practically living on cable television to eviscerate Democrats far and wide, and former veep Dick issuing regular denunciations of President Obama—there's no better time to dip back into the 2008 book Angler, Pulitzer Prize-winner Barton Gellman's definitive and rather chilling study of the Cheney vice presidency. Turns out that at critical moments he was calling the shots. |

Lloyd, I hope you didn't need this book to tell you that!

I may not be following the "detailed" news of the day. I haven't seen VP Cheney nor Liz out deploring the Haiti aid by the US government.

Of course he was calling the shots. He and his daughter are trying to re-write the Bush/Cheney eight years. I hope we have the guts to not let them do that.
Thank you.
