“One of the mythologies is that it was the vice president that somehow was pulling the strings on foreign policy in the first term and made it very ideologically driven and that somehow in the second term, the vice president’s influence is in decline and, therefore, somehow the real Bush has come forward, and we [...]
This is Lagan from ANP, We sat down with James Risen, the New York Times national security corespondent who broke the domestic wiretapping stories, to talk about the dilemmas Obama faces with the unparalleled executive power he will inherit. Dick Cheney recently said that Obama would appreciate all of the power they are handing over, [...]
Politico.com reports that Joe Biden plans to “limit the role of vice president” to what it supposedly was before the Bush-Cheney White House: Dialing back his predecessor’s expansive view of the office, Vice President-elect Joe Biden plans on “restoring the Office of the Vice President to its historical role†as adviser to the president and [...]
As with many of the Obama ads this election cycle, the effectiveness of this lies in its simplicity. Cheney = Bush = McCain. I honestly don’t know what Dick Cheney was thinking by endorsing this late in the game. It’s almost as if he wanted to kick McCain in the gut, because he had to [...]

Barack Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his running mate raises some of the same interesting questions that George W. Bush’s selection of Dick Cheney did back in 2000. Here me out. If Obama/Biden wins, Joe Biden will be 66 years old when he takes office as Vice-President. If they are re-elected in 2012, he’ll [...]
Updating a story from earlier this week, Republicans now confirm that Vice President Dick Cheney will attend the Republican Convention and will speak. Previously, reports indicated Cheney might skip the convention because his presence could prove a distraction. I guess Republicans decided there was no way to hide the fact that John McCain is and [...]
Some politicians are unpopular. Some are toxic. Vice President Dick Cheney is apparently the latter. Looks like the most powerful (and most unpopular) veep in recent history will be sitting out the Republican Convention. Seems John McCain’s people would rather not have viewers at home reminded that, you know, McCain is in the same party [...]
He went before Congress today and told us a lot of what we already know. But, again, it looks like this was definitely one of those cases where people wanted to wish that nothing happened instead of accepting the reality that Libby (and Rove and Cheney) were intimately involved with this leaking. Excerpted liberally from [...]
