Cheney indicates he is about to go to war on GW Bush -

[grantcart]

Cheney has signed a major book deal and intends to set the record straight on all of the things that Bush apparently got wrong by not following the Vice President.

Ominously the self appointed, self indulgent, narcissistic, pretender is about to reveal to all of his Republican friends what we have known all along, Dick Cheney has a reached an unparalleled point of arrogance stating simply, "the statute of limitations has expired" on many of his secrets".

Dick Cheney is a weasel of the first order.

The great irony in all of this is that Republicans don't handle transitions well, never had. They want their next leader picked out and put on a pedestal so that they can all fall in line.

Bush's appointment of Cheney eliminated that orderly transition, and by not replacing him in 2004 virtually secured a Democratic electoral win in 2008. (Irony is added when McCain's appointment of Palin makes the same mistake insuring that the Republicans will have at least 4 more years of no heir apparent).

Cheney's self gratifying chest thumping rationalization of every issue that he discussed with the President is so mind blowing-ly rude that it boggles the imagination.

It ensures that the Republican Civil War will continue and that the neo-cons will have a permanent rallying point to continue to destroy the Republican Party from within.

WASHINGTON

Cheney, often described as the most influential vice president in U.S. history, has been discussing his years in office in informal talks with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues, the Post said, as he works on a memoir due out in 2011 from Simon & Schuster's Threshold Editions.

Robert Barnett, who negotiated Cheney's book contract, passed word to potential publishers that the memoir would be packed with news, said the article published on the Post Web site, and Cheney himself has said, without explanation, that "the statute of limitations has expired" on many of his secrets.

. . .

"When the president made decisions that I didn't agree with, I still supported him and didn't go out and undercut him," Cheney said, according to Stephen Hayes, his authorized biographer. "Now we're talking about after we've left office. I have strong feelings about what happened. ... And I don't have any reason not to forthrightly express those views."


According to the author of the Post piece, Barton Gellman, who earlier wrote a book on Cheney called "Angler," the former vice president believes Bush made concessions to public sentiment, something Cheney views as moral weakness. After years of praising Bush as a man of resolve, Cheney now intimates that the former president turned out to be more like an ordinary politician in the end, Gellman says.

Now don't hold back Dick the future of the Republic is at stake.

(BTW you will get credit for the damage to the Republican Party you so effectively discharge.)
