The Post has a four part profile of the Vice Prez coming out this week, and I am going to be tracking it on this blog. I think that this is, while not the most important story in the news right now, certainly the freshest and most interesting. It has the potential to give us a glimpse into the most powerful Vice in the history of this country, at a time when he is kind of on the ropes.
The first part, though, reads like a puff piece. They spend a lot of time talking about his personality, his "kindness to subordinates, etc. Uhh...do they mean kindness to subordinates like taking career revenge on anyone who stands in his way? Or using Alberto Gonzales to deceive the President into taking his advice, as they report him having done in the article? Or do they mean that he remembers people's names? Cause remembering people's names can be interpreted as kindness, or it can be interpreted as setting them up to be used as tools. Most of the sociopaths I know are great with names.
They also talk a lot about how Cheney isn't interested in any verdict but history's, and how he honestly believes that what he is doing is good for the country. You know who else believed in what he was doing, and wasn't interested in the opinions of his contemporaries? Hitler.
