Interviewed on CNN today, the Washington Post’s Barton Gellman, said the idea of “flexibility” for the VP is a signature Cheney idea.

- Stevanoski, on 10/05/2008, -5/+3Cheney is great! Lefties just have to hate someone and they picked this particularly effective Conservative to attack.
- Kizilbash, on 10/06/2008, -0/+3He's so effective that the US is fighting two wars it is losing, has not captured Bin Laden, has run the economy into the ground, still hasn't repaired New Orleans and is now a waning superpower that most of the world is turning away from.
- thebyron, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Effective, yes. Great? Not so much. Cheney has subverted the Constitution and led a dangerous expansion of power for both the Executive Branch and the office of the V.P. His refusal to cooperate with subpoenas is alarming, as is his highly suspect reasoning that somehow the V.P. is neither a part of the Executive Branch nor the Legislative Branch. If it's not a part of either of those, and it certainly isn't part of the Judicial, how is it even part of the government? It's bizarre that you praise him a "particularly effective Conservative" when Conservatives (allegedly) stand for strict interpretation of the Constitution and Cheney has certainly violated that principle.
- 1776, on 10/05/2008, -2/+4Cheney is highly intelligent, you'd have to be to avert the law and justice as frequently as he does. If you agree with preemptive wars and have little regard for privacy and big brother's growth.. then he is your man.
