Cheney’s demeanor adds credibility to his performance. He’s not hot, not obviously invested emotionally, he comes across as simply recounting events to set the record straight.

Devastating.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – aka, the Iron Lady.

Yep, she was the only real man in NATO until Reagan took office. Pity nobody in the UK seems to be made of the same stern stuff these days.

First, I got a kick this morning at the thought of a Palin/Cheney ticket.

Then I got a bigger kick out of the thought of a Palin/(Liz) Cheney ticket!

Can you imagine the apoplectic reaction of the left – especially among groups like NOW – to a Republican ticket that had a female in both roles on the ballet instead of a transparent effort at a token female to prop up some old worn out RINO?

And before anyone with qualms about women in high office speaks up I got 4 words for ya – Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – aka, the Iron Lady.

Lastly, just gotta say – I miss Cheney being in the White House…..

Yep. It was the first of a series of new lows.

But in his speech, Cheney revealed for the first time that the Bush administration had handed over a recent and detailed analysis of the Afghan situation to the incoming administration, one that Obama not only later adopted, but about which he asked the Bush administration to keep silent.

Whoa…. Whoa…. Whoa…. I thought that detailed analysis and plan was a product of the Office of the President Elect.

(remember that horseshit?)

Good for Cheney. It’s a shame he’s got a bad ticker, or he’d be Presidential timber, as opposed to the aldermanic twig we’ve got in office now.

There’s another, younger Cheney with a good ticker and a winning debate style – Liz Cheney. I like her even more than Sarah Palin – and I like SP a lot. She has co-founded an organization. I think we will be hearing more about Liz in the coming years. I would not be at all surprised to see her on a Presidential ticket someday.

This stuff from Cheney is amazing. Why don’t we have more people like this? We need a Health care Cheney, an economics Cheney….

He has a long history of jumping in at the end and claiming credit for legislation.

I had the same thought, and think it also pertains to the Harvard Law Review.

Standard operating procedure for Obama.

He has a long history of jumping in at the end and claiming credit for legislation. (Heck, I don’t even think he wrote his first autobiography.) So it is no surprise that he took credit for the outgoing Bush administration’s plan on Afghanistan.
