"Eenee-meaney chilly beaney when Cheney is about to speak" *by: Mark HounsellThu Jun 28, 2007 at 14:12:37 PM EDT |

Leave aside for a moment the declaration by Dick Cheney that he is the fourth branch of our county?s government. Forget, if you can, episodes such as the shot-gun shooting of his lawyer ?friend?, or the perjury conviction of his closest aide ?Scotter? Libby.
Try not to think about the Halliburton connections, the endless stream of his disconcerting comments, behavior and decisions. Focus instead on the unparalleled ability of Dick Cheney to identify a goal and then maneuver through the rough and tumble political maze and achieve it. Please take the time to follow the link and read Washington Post staff writers, Barton Gellman?s and Jo Becker?s June 24th article entitled ?A Different Understanding With the President?. When you have finished, I am certain that you will agree with me that the current Vice-President of the United Sates of America has used his unmatched political resume, with unbridled, chilling and calculated machinations. You may not agree, but it appears to me that Dick Cheney is seeking to fulfill a bizarre, personal doctrine of manifest destiny. Regardless, if you agree with me or not, you may begin to understand why I constantly pray that George W. Bush remains safe and alive and that he remains President until the next election. While even though I am convinced that George W. Bush has been a terrible President - the very worse President in American history, I shudder to think how absolutely terrible it would be for all of us, should his Vice-President take one more step up the ladder to the last remaining rung - a position I am certain he yearns for. * With apologies to Bullwinkle J.
