Our Darth Vader
The Washington Post has an opinion piece today by Jim Hoagland that is worth reading. It is a brief description of Cheney’s entrenched power in Washington. Essentially his power is based on two facts: 1) the President trusts him and 2) Cheney is not running in 2008 so he will say whatever the hell he wants whenever he wants.
This article doesn’t come close to beating Walter Russell Mead’s article last fall in Esquire. Mead is obviously torn between thinking that Cheney is either the Churchill of our age or Darth Vader.
Note: You know you have problems when you buy a magazine with Angelina Jolie on the cover, because you want to read the article about Dick Cheney.
