TOWLER: Post has Cheney dissing Bush

Recommend Blog Post
Total Recommendations (0)

Definitely worth a read: "Cheney Unleashes His Frustration with Bush" in today's Washington Post. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is writing a memoir, and the Post article is based on interviews with people with whom Cheney has discussed the book. The article portrays Cheney as becoming disillusioned with George Bush during their second term in office.

Although the article breaks no real news, it does solidify a portrait of Cheney as a tough, single-minded man convinced that the nation faces terrible threats. He also felt that Bush was focusing too much on public opinion and was moving away from the tough policies that Cheney proposed. Cheney, writes the Post's Barton Gellman, "views concessions to public sentiment as moral weakness."
