Like many people, I was not particularly a fan of Cheney the VP. He was too secretive, too dismissive, and too remote. Whatever has stirred this lion to life, he is calling BHO on his bullsh!t as as the author says, “winning this debate, and winning badly”.
BHO acts like he is on the world stage and he says his lines pretty well. But I worry there is nothing there there (as the saying goes). It’s like he stays in the shallow end of the kiddie pool because he’s convinced himself he can walk on water. Or maintain the appearance.
Liz Cheney will be a player in the 2012 election, she is substantive and well-versed on the issues. What may have brought Dick back in vogue is that whether you like him or not, he is not vague. You know who he is, where’s he has been, what he thinks, and what he’ll fight for. He thinks issues through and he will take a stand.
Or, perhaps this is a family feud on the world stage, cousin vs. cousin. And maybe that is the role of family, when everyone else tells you how wonderful you are, it takes a family member to remind you there is a better way.
