Celebrating the life of the most powerful, most secretive, most Darth Vader-like V.P. in U.S. History …
- Part 4 of the Washington Post's amazing deconstruction of Dick Cheney's Vice Presidency is out. Pro-business, anti-salmon — this guy is great. (Here's a link to the previous three parts.)
- And which branch of government does Cheney work for anyway? If you listen to his lawyers, it's not the executive branch.
- The Daily Show has him as the Supreme Court's 10th justice.
- So, Cheney's not bound by the rules of the executive branch, eh? Democrats plan to take Dick at his word … by cutting off the funding of his offices and staff.
- Newspaper editorial boards are lining up to take shots at poor, misunderstood Dick. Here's a collection of over a dozen editorials critical of the veep.
- We know the Dems hate him, but are Republicans getting ready to try and oust Tricky Dick?
- Could he be … the spawn of Satan? Former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta calls into questions Cheney's statements to the 9/11 commission, and seems to indicate Dick personally allowed the Pentagon to be attacked. Say it ain't so Uncle Dick.
- Am I being too one-sided? I'd link to any Cheney stories on the Drudge Report, but as of right now (noon), there aren't any. Surely Limbaugh has something on the V.P.? Nope. Ann Coulter's site is currently down. Shame. Sean Hannity must have something. No again. How about Fox News? Bigfoot, check. More Crazy Wrestlers, check. Jaw-shattering candy, check. The Vice President under fire? M.I.A.
